Semi-Bespoke No. 16 Roja Parfums — a fragrance that speaks for itself. A unisex fragrance from the green, powdery, fruit, and citrus families. The nose behind this fragrance — Roja Dove. Part of the Semi-Bespoke collection, available as perfume extract.
Brand country — the United Kingdom, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Semi-Bespoke No. 16 is shaped as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Roja Parfums is evident from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract supports the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral and Fruit with each one in a clear role. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
In a unified mixed pyramid the opening appears as one connected movement with a natural green mood: Bergamot, Galbanum, Grass, Mandarin, Orange blossom, Peach and Rhubarb.
The heart and base are perceived as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Green, Whiteflower and Fruit. The palette also extends to Floral, Earthy / Mossy and Powdery. At family level the fragrance belongs to Citrus, Fruit, Green and Powdery.
Overall Semi-Bespoke No. 16 holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best understood in wear.
