Gorgeous retro-chypre
This is a rare juice which is only sold at Roja Dove's "Haute Parfumerie" in London (Harrods/5th floor). The perfume was designed according to a "recipe" hidden in some old dash-book from the 1920's. Perfumer P. de Velay jotted down some ideas which Roja Dove carried out in a glorious manner. No. 11 is an intoxicating blend of lavish flowers, first and foremost, Grasse jasmine. Since it is a chypre, the jasmine and the obvious rose in this scent are underlined by oakmoss and patchouli. No. 11 entices you with brilliant many-faceted clarity and elegance, although the drydown is a bit "animalic", you can still smell the indolic jasmine which gives it a tantalising mysterious undertone. The formulation of No. 11 is no world-shaker, i.e. not innovative, but wonderfully retro (just like the stylish retro-design of the flacon).

Sour-sweet fruits
like lemons & rhubarb
Powdery flowers & musk
And a spicy sharpness
Like a sweet-sour spicy fruity floral

Spicy, finely powdery, and distinctly woody. A few flowers for sweetness. Edgy yet gentle. A rugged gentleman.

As is often the case with Mr. Dove, you get the feeling of smelling something from Guerlain. A cornucopia of powdery flowers with a tendency towards sweet-spicy.

Strange scent with conflicting notes: citrus against jasmine, sour against sweet, spicy against powdery musk: exhausting.

Typical Roja, a cornucopia of aromas, with waxy flowers resting on spices and wood. Sweetening towards the end.
Quite nice.

Waxy-sour lemon, slightly warm-spicy & beautifully balanced turns into a creamy-spicy scent with very concentrated sweetness. Doesn't fit.

In my opinion, the perfect "Oligarch" - the DNA is the same, but the crown belongs to the 11.

Sweet, spicy, floral, woody - all mixed together, intertwined, and overall very overwhelming. Not my thing.
