The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Roja Dove's Fortnum & Mason Taif Oud is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance that marries the richness of oud with the vibrant freshness of aldehydes and spices. The composition opens with bright aldehydes and bergamot, creating an initial burst of luminous energy before evolving into a heart of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. These florals are then anchored by the deep, smoky warmth of oud, benzoin, musk, and patchouli, resulting in a scent that is both luxurious and complex.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly — its depth means it will build on your skin over time. It pairs well with layered clothing as the smoky base notes emerge throughout the day.
