Roja Parfums Candy Aoud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Roja Dove. Candy Aoud opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, and settles into a heart of Rose, Apple, Pear, and Blackcurrant. Roja Parfums's Candy Aoud carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive, intriguing, and definitely not what the name suggests. Expect a full-on barnyard oud with a fruity twist. It's unique, but whether that's a good thing is truly down to your nose.

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.

The prominent and sometimes 'barnyard' oud makes this too potent for most office environments. It's best suited for cooler weather evening wear, where its bold character can shine without overwhelming, making it suitable for dates or formal events. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling particularly daring.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, tart burst of citrus and candied fruits, specifically banana and pear, quickly followed by a skanky, animalic oud. This potent combination then settles into a leather-infused, ambery woodiness with lingering fruity sweetness. It's a journey from candy-like fruit to a seriously mature base.
