    Description

    ROJA London's Aoud is a masterful tribute to the rich perfumery traditions of the Middle East, a scent Roja Dove meticulously crafted after years of immersion in the region. It opens with a bright, fresh citrus burst before quickly settling into a luxurious heart where precious Rose de Mai, jasmine, and ylang-ylang intertwine. The true character emerges in the deep, sensual base, where the star ingredient, agarwood (oud), is beautifully balanced with saffron, ambergris, and a complex array of woods and spices, creating an opulent and enduring trail. This fragrance is an elegant fusion of European refinement and Arabian depth, perfect for those who appreciate a sophisticated and exotic aroma. Perfumer: Roja Dove
