Literally No. 1

Unfortunately, I only recently discovered this perfume,
but fortunately I did eventually.

It is very elegant, gets compliments, and performs well.

Jasmine, May Rose, and Oud are among the best in the category.
In my opinion, only those who truly know Roja's perfumes have been exposed to this special creation.

I look forward to wearing it again every time.

9/10.

Solid is not good enough for a fragrance with this price

Pierre de Velay No. 1 is the first fragrance I test from Pierre de Velay. The brand is not polarizing as Roja and probably because of that the brand has somehow passed me by unnoticed. No. 1 should change this, however. Yesterday it was finally time and I sprayed No. 1 carefully.

The top note works on me very smoky somehow, actually, no incense is included in the fragrance pyramid, but somehow I always have the feeling to smell this. The bergamot of the top note I smell unfortunately not at all. For me, somehow almost only the base note can be smelled permanently. I smell: Oud, saffron, labdanum. Patchouli, leather, cypriol, woods and a slight floral component, which probably comes from the heart note. I can also detect a very slight sweetness of vanilla. Unfortunately, I find it a bit disappointing here that the scent somehow only consists of the base notes. No. 1 is simply nothing new or special, it is the typical oud, saffron and vanilla combination which I have smelled so many times before. No. 1 does have a slight twist due to the other notes, but unfortunately that's not enough for me. The fragrance is clearly behind my expectations, here I just do not recognize a fragrance that should cost almost 600 €. Here I would have expected more.
The durability is with something over 10 hours but in the good range. The Silage I find but something zuürckhaltend and with me even something under an arm's length, but this Silage No. 1 keeps but almost for 10 hours.
