Semi-Bespoke No. 24, from Roja Dove was released in 2019. The perfumer behind this creation is Roja Dove. It has the top notes of Bergamot and Lemon, middle notes of Almond, Heliotrope, Lily-of-the-Valley, Raspberry, Rose, and Wisteria, and base notes of Cedarwood, Cumin, Galbanum, Labdanum, Musk, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Pepper, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Violet Leaf.
Semi Bespoke 24 is an intensely sweet and feminine floral gourmand. It’s rich and heady, yet light and delicious in all the right ways. As soon as you spray it you’re whisked away by the sweet juiciness of raspberries, contrasted by the dry nuttiness of candied almonds. There’s an uplifting brightness of fleeting lemon and bergamot, whilst the entire scent profile is smoothed and balanced out by an array of thick, powdery florals including heliotrope, wisteria and rose. There’s hints of sweet tonka and ever so gentle whispers of warm spices in the base, but for the most part the scent profile doesn’t change too much. Personally I’m not a fan of raspberry notes, in most cases I can’t stand them. However I must say that the raspberry in here is gorgeous, everything is smoothed out to perfection, but unfortunately it’s still not a scent I’d pay £750 for.
