Launched in 2005, Semi-Bespoke No. 5 by Roja Dove is a chypre fragrance that blends warm and powdery notes with an earthy undertone. The composition opens with the freshness of bergamot and peach, giving way to floral heart notes like orange blossom, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. These soften into a rich base of ambergris, vetiver, leather, and benzoin, creating a deep and complex aroma that is both warm and slightly spicy.
