Launched in 2015 by Roja Dove, Candy Aoud is a bold and complex Oriental Vanilla fragrance that defies expectations. The composition begins with the bright punch of grapefruit and bergamot, soon joined by banana and pear, creating an initial wave of sugary freshness. As it evolves, rose and black currant add a layer of floral sweetness, while the warm spices of cardamom and saffron introduce a subtle heat. The heart of agarwood (oud) and leather creates a striking contrast, grounding the fragrance with earthy depth and a touch of luxury. This is further enriched by amber, birch, and musk, which weave together to create an enveloping warmth that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply Candy Aoud to pulse points for maximum impact. The top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so a few sprays will ensure you catch its full evolution from fruity freshness to warm, woody depth. It’s best enjoyed in cooler settings where the warmth of the base notes is more pronounced and intimate.
