Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched The Oud in 2023, crafting it as an Oriental Woody fragrance that marries the warm intensity of oud with a rich blend of floral and spicy notes. At its core is the complexity of rose and ylang-ylang, which intertwine with clove and saffron to create a depth that feels both intimate and expansive. The composition opens with a fresh burst from mandarin orange and bergamot before settling into a base of patchouli, cedarwood, and frankincense, grounding the entire fragrance in earthy warmth.
Apply The Oud to pulse points for an intimate warmth that blooms over time. It’s best worn during cooler evenings when its woody base can fully envelop you without being too heavy.
