Semi-Bespoke No. 24

Semi Bespoke 24 is an intensely sweet and feminine floral gourmand. It’s rich and heady, yet light and delicious in all the right ways. As soon as you spray it you’re whisked away by the sweet juiciness of raspberries, contrasted by the dry nuttiness of candied almonds. There’s an uplifting brightness of fleeting lemon and bergamot, whilst the entire scent profile is smoothed and balanced out by an array of thick, powdery florals including heliotrope, wisteria and rose. There’s hints of sweet tonka and ever so gentle whispers of warm spices in the base, but for the most part the scent profile doesn’t change too much. Personally I’m not a fan of raspberry notes, in most cases I can’t stand them. However I must say that the raspberry in here is gorgeous, everything is smoothed out to perfection, but unfortunately it’s still not a scent I’d pay £750 for.

Even though me and my wife own lakme, a goodnight kiss, pour femme 51.Has not been a big fan of Roja. But by this perfume I started to look through all of his work.My wife's best pick perfume among her more than 600 bottles of perfume collection. Start with fresh, light citruses.Well balanced sweetness(not too much), fruity, sensual, very elegant. Can't express the feeling when I first sniff this one. By only one sniff I thought this is what I've been looking for. True masterpiece!!

The quality is high and the blending is very special, there are no jarring stand out notes , it's like a magic carpet ride until undetectable many hours later , I get a fruity top with an undercurrent of animalistic undertones and a touch of smooth tonka , when the fragrance sails into the mid and base it transitions into something that reminds me of Chanel le lion, the sandlewood which feels high quality is now clearly evident, something in the mix gives me a slight leather vibe too, feels very unisex and will appeal to both gender, price is always debatable when your struggling to put the heating on, but your buying something that has the best ingredients and is technically perfect.

Wow what a scent. This is an incredibly smooth floral w fruity nuances and a slight citrus as well. The tartness of the raspberry due to the almond and heavy violet, is softened and shows through as a general fruity accord. The bouquet of florals sit on a base of primarily tonka, sandalwood, and white musk. It’s a sweet, fresh, fruity unisex scent that is ever so uplifting and calming at the same time. An underrated masterpiece in my opinion. 9 out of 10 with outstanding overall performance and very versatile.

Out of this range, this is one of two that stood out head above shoulders. The raspberry is the star and I’ve never found a comparative so far in my fragrance journey. Realistic tart raspberry blended with touches of almond and supporting florals / tonka, that lasts all day, smells unique and makes you smile.
