Roja Dove Musk Aoud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Musk Aoud opens with Bergamot and Lemon, and settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang. Roja Dove's Musk Aoud carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

Musk Aoud is a deeply polarising fragrance; some find it a masterful, unique blend of sensuality and luxury, while others are put off by its intense animalic facets and surprisingly poor longevity for the price. This one is for the bold, but sample first.

About

Musk Aoud opens with a fleeting citrus spark of bergamot and lemon, quickly giving way to a rich, opulent heart of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. The real character unfolds in the dry down, a complex tapestry of bold musky animalics, earthy oud, and smooth leather, underpinned by a warm, subtly sweet woodiness. It's thick, dense, and evolves through distinct stages, from an initial pungency to a refined, almost melancholic sensuality.
