Aaron Terence Hughes Chocolate, Rose & Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Aaron Terence Hughes. Chocolate, Rose & Oud opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Sandalwood, Oud, and Patchouli. Aaron Terence Hughes's Chocolate, Rose & Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

The name is a fair summary: rose on top, then cacao, vanilla and tonka, with oud and dark chocolate underneath. A dark, sweet and woody scent for people who like their gourmands with some weight.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Rose opens the scent and is the only top note listed. The heart moves to cacao pod, vanilla and tonka bean, which give it a sweet, creamy and chocolatey feel. The base brings oud, dark chocolate, sandalwood and patchouli, so the sweetness is grounded by wood and earth rather than left to float. It reads as a warm, rich gourmand with a floral start and a dark, woody finish, and it feels best suited to cooler weather.
