Launched in 2005 by Roja Dove, Semi-Bespoke No. 17 is an aldehydic and fresh fragrance that blends powdery, mossy, earthy, woody, soapy, and iris notes into a harmonious composition. The scent opens with a crisp freshness before settling into a more complex base that includes powdery florals and rich woods. It's designed to be both modern and lasting, capturing the essence of Roja Dove's meticulous approach to perfumery.

Application Tips
One spray to the wrists and neck is sufficient, as the fragrance blooms on skin over time. It's best for daytime wear, where its fresh top notes complement a variety of settings without overpowering them.
