HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched Musk Aoud in 2010 as a bold and complex fragrance that blends the warmth of oud with musky undertones and powdery florals. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from bergamot and lemon, giving way to a heart of rose and ylang-ylang, which is further enriched by jasmine and agarwood (oud). The base notes of musk, leather, sandalwood, and vanilla create an enveloping warmth that feels both intimate and sophisticated. Musk Aoud is neither overtly masculine nor feminine, making it a versatile choice for those who appreciate a rich and layered scent.
Apply Musk Aoud to pulse points for a long-lasting warmth that builds throughout the day. The base notes are slow to develop, so allow at least an hour for the full depth to emerge.
