Aoud by Roja Dove was launched in 2010, offering an intricate blend that marries the freshness of citrus with the depth of oud and woody accords. The composition opens with lemon verbena and bergamot, adding a vibrant freshness before giving way to the rich notes of may rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. At its core lies agarwood (oud), intertwined with leather and saffron, creating an earthy warmth that is both luxurious and alluring. The base layers of ambergris, cashmere wood, and musk lend a sensual, lingering finish.

Application Tips
Apply Aoud in light layers — its complex composition unfolds gradually. The citrus top notes are fleeting but essential, so ensure they have time to blend with your skin before moving on to subsequent sprays. This fragrance is best suited for evenings or formal occasions where its rich complexity can truly shine.
