About This Perfume
Think warm wood and bright citrus on a dry wood base, bold: that is Roja Semi-Bespoke No. 1. It opens with aldehydes, bergamot and lemon, moves into Grasse jasmine, may rose and ylang-ylang and settles on amber, green notes and musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2005.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and romantic for date nights.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
Around $500.

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.
