Pierre de Velay No. 16, from Roja Dove was released in 2020. The perfumer behind this creation is Roja Dove. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Lemon, middle notes of Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, Peach, Rhubarb, Rose, Violet, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Cedarwood, Galbanum, Orris Root, Vanilla, and Woody Notes.
Pierre de Velay No. 16 is the fruitier, more playful cousin of Les Clochettes du Bonheur. It opens with some fleeting citrus before Roja’s favourite and most iconic note of sweet peach emerges, alongside juicy rhubarb and a heavy dose of lily-of-the-valley adding that hint of the Clochettes scent profile. There’s an added range of soft and powdery florals such as ylang, jasmine, violet and orris, before settling into a soft woody base and creamy vanilla. If you found Clochettes too linear then this is a great alternative in my opinion. The peach and violet combination also slightly reminds me of RDHP15, only here there is no chypre base and the addition of rhubarb is a welcome one - this is a very calming and serene scent which leans feminine but smells absolutely divine on the skin of anyone who wears it.
