Roja Parfums Espresso Aoud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Roja Dove. Espresso Aoud settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Hazelnut, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Coffee, and Coconut. Roja Parfums's Espresso Aoud carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong, long-lasting nature and significant sillage make it too much for an office setting. However, its rich, dark, and sensual character is perfectly suited for sophisticated date nights and cooler weather formal events.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Imagine a rich, dark roasted coffee, intensely bitter and almost smoky, tempered by the creamy sweetness of hazelnut and a hint of exotic orange blossom. The heart is a deeply woody affair, with a prominent, dry oud providing a substantial backbone, wrapped in the smooth, comforting warmth of sandalwood. A powdery, amber sweetness underpins the entire composition, creating a complex, full-bodied experience that's far from a sugary gourmand.
