Which Should You Buy?
If you're already a fan of Black Opium, this is more of the same winning formula. It's a comforting crowd-pleaser, perfect for those who love a sweet, woody scent.
Espresso Aoud is a remarkably polarizing beast. It's a dark, complex coffee and oud combination that isn't for the faint of heart, dividing opinions sharply between those who hail it as a masterpiece and those who find it utterly unwearable. This is Roja's boldest statement in a while.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
The sweet and woody accords, combined with its described comforting nature and general low sillage (for most users) make it suitable for dates and relaxed evenings. While not overpowering, its warmth might be a bit much for a strict office environment, and it is definitely not a sport scent.
