About This Perfume

Pierre de Velay No. 16 by Roja Dove is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Pierre de Velay No. 16 was launched in 2020. The nose behind this fragrance is Roja Dove. Top notes are Grapefruit, Bergamot and Lemon; middle notes are Peach, Violet, Rhubarb, Lily-of-the-Valley, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang and Rose; base notes are Vanilla, Orris, Woody Notes, Galbanum and Cedar. "Sweet Sixteen celebrates the Perfumer’s ability to create a sweet scent which totally avoids the juvenile world of high street spritzes and delivers the epitome of Haute Parfumerie. A sweet treat of a perfume, this vibrant and contemporary floral accord is nothing if not mouth-watering. Bright and fresh Citrus notes create a burst of juicy sweetness that is zesty and uplifting to a floral heart based around the creamy indulgence of Jasmine. Frangipani mingles with Jasmine, creating a tropical breeze, which carries upon it a succulent Pear-drop nuance typical of the finest quality Jasmine. An energetic and dynamic scent, Number 16 presents sweetness in the softest and most succulent way possible. A touch of powder transforms the whole into something too tempting to resist, like the delicate dusting of powdered sugar, coating cubes of rosy Turkish Delight being enjoyed under the warmth of the sun. You couldn’t be anywhere with a cloud in the sky when you experience Number 16. Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit Heart Notes: Lily of the Valley, Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Violet, Peach, Rhubarb Base Notes: Galbanum, Cedarwood, Dry Woods, Orris, Vanilla" - a note from the brand.

The Brand

Roja

Roja has 183 perfumes indexed on Scendira, Scendira's highest-priced brand by a wide margin. The six most-common accords are woody (109 perfumes), citrus (56), amber (52), aromatic (44), powdery (39), and warm-spiced (35), built on bergamot, jasmine, rose, musk, patchouli, and vanilla. Prices run $129.95 to $3,500, with a $500 median, luxury pricing throughout. 65% of the range reads unisex. By community mentions, Elysium Noir leads clearly, followed by Burlington 1819, then a tight cluster of Oceania, Apex, and Enigma. Roja Dove is a British luxury perfumer, and the catalogue reflects that: aromatic-citrus openings on a woody, powdery base, in the register of a serious, old-world perfume house rather than a mass-market Gulf brand. Filter by note below, or ask Dira which Roja perfume actually matches what you want to smell like.
