Roja Dove launched Semi-Bespoke No. 3 in 2005 as an aromatic and citrusy blend that balances freshness with warmth. The fragrance opens with a burst of lemon and bergamot, followed by the floral notes of geranium and lavender. These bright, crisp elements give way to spicier undertones from cumin and cardamom, creating a dynamic tension between light and heat. Roja Dove's composition then settles into an intriguing base of leather, civet, ambergris, and musk — a blend that adds depth and complexity without overpowering the lighter notes above.

Application Tips
Apply Semi-Bespoke No. 3 with two sprays to ensure that both the bright top notes and the rich base are present throughout the day. The citrus and spicy elements fade quickly but leave behind a warm, leathery musk that lasts well into evening.
