The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched Semi-Bespoke No. 4 in 2005, crafting a composition that balances powdery and woody accords with warm spices and citrus notes. The fragrance opens with the brightness of bergamot and lemon, leading to a heart of carnation and jasmine, before settling into a base of sandalwood, cedar, and ambergris. This harmonious blend creates an atmosphere that is both comforting and sophisticated.
For Semi-Bespoke No. 4, two sprays are sufficient to capture its full complexity. The powdery and woody notes develop slowly over time, so it’s best to apply a few minutes before you need to leave. This fragrance is particularly suited for the evening, where its warmth can fully unfold.
