Roja Dove launched Semi-Bespoke No. 23 in 2017 as a Woody Spicy fragrance for both women and men. This composition opens with the fresh, herbaceous notes of oregano, thyme, and basil, creating an immediate sense of crisp clarity. The heart of bergamot and geranium adds a vibrant aromatic layer before giving way to a rich base of sandalwood, labdanum, vanilla, and musk. This interplay between freshness and warmth makes Semi-Bespoke No. 23 a fragrance that feels both grounded and elevating.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are sufficient — the herbal freshness is immediate but the woody base notes bloom gradually. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than diffusing widely, making it ideal for intimate settings and cooler evenings.
