The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by M. Micallef and crafted by perfumer Jean-Claude Astier, Royal Rose Aoud is a Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the opulent notes of rose and oud with warm spices and woody accords. The composition opens with a burst of black currant and saffron, before settling into a heart of rich rose and agarwood (oud). This luxurious blend culminates in a base of white musk, sandalwood, and patchouli, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both regal and intimate.
Apply Royal Rose Aoud to pulse points for a long-lasting effect. The fragrance blooms best after an hour, so a light spritz in the morning will ensure it stays close to your skin throughout the day. It's perfect for evenings and indoor gatherings where its depth can be fully appreciated.
