Roja Dove launched Semi-Bespoke No. 11 in 2005, a fragrance that stands out for its intricate blend of fresh and spicy elements with rich, sensual undertones. The composition opens with aldehydes and pepper, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vibrancy. This is followed by a heart of white florals like lily-of-the-valley and gardenia, which are softened by the inclusion of violet, adding a layer of complexity and depth. The base notes of ambergris, sandalwood, and animalic accords ensure that Semi-Bespoke No. 11 has lasting warmth and sensuality.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its complex accords to unfold gradually. The spicy top notes are bright but fleeting, so focus on the base notes for lasting warmth. Ideal for indoor settings where it can linger close to skin rather than fill a room.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet intensity of a library filled with books, where aldehydic notes mingle with the soft scent of leather-bound volumes and the subtle warmth of musk.
