Semi-Bespoke No. 2 by Roja Dove was launched in 2005 and stands as a proof of the brand's commitment to sophisticated compositions that blend traditional accords with unexpected nuances. The fragrance opens with aldehydes and citrus, creating a fresh yet luminous top note that gives way to ylang-ylang and rose, adding an elegant floral warmth. The base of sandalwood, amber, and musk provides a grounding depth that anchors the scent without overpowering its lighter elements.

Application Tips
Apply Semi-Bespoke No. 2 lightly — the aldehydic top notes are bright and immediate but fade within an hour. The floral and woody heart develops over time, so it's best to let it settle into your skin rather than layering heavily.
