The story behind the bottle.
Risque Pour Homme, launched by Roja Dove in 2012, is a unisex fragrance that balances aromatic and woody accords with warm spices and fresh citrus notes. The composition opens with bergamot, lemon, and lavender, creating a vibrant freshness that cuts through the richness of later stages. As it develops, the scent shifts to a heart of geranium, jasmine, and incense, adding complexity and depth before settling into a base of cedar, myrrh, vetiver, oakmoss, labdanum, cardamom, tonka bean, and carrot seeds, offering an earthy warmth that lingers on the skin.
Apply one or two sprays initially — the bright citrus top notes are fleeting but crucial. Allow it to settle for ten minutes before reapplying if you want more of the spicy, woody base to come through.
