Launched in 2017 by Roja Dove, Semi-Bespoke No. 21 is a Chypre fragrance that navigates the space between freshness and warmth with remarkable precision. The composition begins with a vibrant citrus burst from grapefruit and mandarin orange before transitioning into a heart of rose de mai, jasmine, and tuberose. These florals are grounded by an earthy base of leather, olibanum, oakmoss, and benzoin, creating a sense of depth and complexity. The warm spicy notes of cypriol oil, cloves, and juniper berries add layers of intrigue to this sophisticated blend.

Application Tips
This fragrance blooms gradually on the skin, so allow it to settle for at least 15 minutes before layering with other scents. The citrus top notes are fleeting but essential for the initial burst of freshness; they will dissipate quickly, giving way to the richer base notes that provide a lasting warmth.
