Launched in 2017, Semi-Bespoke No. 22 by Roja Dove is a chypre fragrance that marries the crisp freshness of aldehydes and citrus with an intricate floral heart and a warm woody base. The opening notes of aldehydes and petitgrain set a bright and clean stage, soon followed by magnolia and jasmine, which bring a delicate floral bouquet. The composition then shifts to a powdery and green finish with galbanum and oakmoss, creating an elegant and nuanced scent that is both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to the pulse points; the aldehydes will create an immediate impact that fades gracefully into the floral heart notes. This fragrance is best for daytime or early evening wear, as it balances freshness with a touch of warmth.
