Roja Dove Aoud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Roja Dove. Aoud opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Lemon Verbena, and settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang. Roja Dove's Aoud carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

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.

About

Aoud by Roja Dove unfurls with a bright, zesty citrus burst of lemon and bergamot, immediately cut with the herbaceous sharpness of lemon verbena. This vibrant opening quickly mellows into a rich, velvety heart dominated by a jammy, sensual rose, harmonised with the creamy sweetness of ylang-ylang and delicate jasmine. The dry down is a luxurious tapestry of earthy, woody oud, softened by warm amber and a hint of leathery spice, creating a deep, enveloping warmth that lingers for hours.
