Roja Dove’s Amber Aoud sets out to best every other rose-oud by sheer dint of superior raw materials and blending, creating a fragrance that is both soft and sensual.
Taking a regally sour, spicy Indian oud, he buries it deep within the folds of a jammy rose. It is then illuminated by Hesperides, kissed by saffron and accentuated by flirty cinnamon. Patchouli ensures earthy depth, while Iris delicate powders, civet lends animalistic notes and flowers conjure up a creamy freshness.

Smoky and spicy, the woody accentuated oud encounters the warmth of precious ambergris.

But look closely and you will see the artful balance between sweet and sour, dusty and moist, sharp and smooth. There is structure and discipline within the avalanche of richness. Birch tar and incense resins and gums provide a smoky fade-out that proves to be excellent ballast for the jammy sweetness up top.

Roja Dove's Aoud Collection is exquisite, unique and masterfully composed - a fitting tribute to this precious essence.

CARE: Roja Parfum Aouds are very dark, therefore care should be taken not to spray them on, or near, pale clothing.
