Roja Aoud certainly divides opinion, but those who love it, really love it. It's a rich, opulent rose-oud that many find intoxicating, though some lament the lack of a prominent oud note. Be warned: the potent dark juice stains skin and clothes, which is a major sticking point for many.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a classy, versatile gem, a standout freshie. Others? Pure floor cleaner. If you want citrus-rose but don't want to smell like a toilet bowl, best try before you buy.
