The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched Aoud Absolue Precieux in 2010, bringing together an intricate blend of citrus, fresh spicy notes, and rich oud. The composition opens with a burst of verbena, lemon, and bergamot, creating an initial freshness that gives way to the heart of rose de mai, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. These floral notes are then enveloped by a warm base of agarwood (oud), patchouli, leather, and various spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. This fragrance is neither strictly masculine nor feminine, embodying an elegant unisex appeal that captures the essence of refined luxury.
Aoud Absolue Precieux has a strong base that blooms over time. Apply it lightly to pulse points in the morning for a fragrance that evolves throughout the day. It pairs well with layering under a jacket or light sweater.
