Beguiled

Beguiled, released in 2015 and composed by Roja Dove, opens on a single bright note of bergamot before widening into a heart of ylang ylang, lemon and tangerine. The citrus is layered rather than sharp, with the yellow floral softness of ylang ylang rounding the lemon and tangerine into something smoother and more textured than a simple cologne opening.

The base is where this scent settles into its character: sandalwood and patchouli give a woody spine, pink pepper and pepper add a warm spiciness, and orris, raspberry leaf and oakmoss fill out the drydown with a powdery-green, faintly fruited depth. With woody and citrus accords dominating, it suits collectors who want a bright opening that resolves into something earthy and grounded. Best worn in daytime or transitional weather, and a good fit for anyone building a Roja Dove reference shelf who wants the citrus-woody side of his range represented.

Beguiled 由 Roja Dove 於 2015 年調製，以單一佛手柑作開場，隨即展開依蘭依蘭、檸檬與柑橘交織的中調，果香與黃花香氣互相包裹，令柑橘顯得更柔潤而非尖銳。基調落在檀香與廣藿香的木質骨幹上，粉紅胡椒與胡椒帶來暖辛感，鳶尾、覆盆子葉與橡苔則添上粉綠與微果香的層次。整體以木質與柑橘為主導，適合喜歡明亮開場、沉穩收結的藏家，日常或換季時節使用皆宜，亦適合想完整收藏 Roja Dove 柑橘木質風格的人。
