Which Should You Buy?
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 is a truly magnificent Chypre that's criminally underrated if the chatter is to be believed. A perfectly blended classic-feeling scent that's all class and sophistication, pulling off the 'timeless' vibe without feeling dated.
