  Pure luxury perfume. I reserve it for night due to this crazy price: 450 euros for 30 ml forces you to apply very little. What I love is that its moderate trail maintains the same intensity for hours and hours without changing a bit. Rose and oud make it unisex in my opinion; I’m increasingly sure that rose fits perfectly with men’s pH even though many refuse to wear it. It’s warm woody and has that ideal musky touch for dates in autumn or winter. The only flaw is that it stains clothes so you have to be careful. Roja Dove launched the Crystal version for this but for me it loses the magic and the character of that intense red.

  In my view Roja is currently ahead of the rest of niche perfumery. I just bought Oceania and it’s brutal but Roja Aoud remains my absolute favorite. It’s the best rose-oud blend I’ve ever tried light years ahead of giants like Phi Une Rose de Kandahar by Andy Tauer. It has an undeniable animal/sexual touch hard to describe but it’s like capturing in perfume an encounter with a girlfriend you love deeply showered with Legrain Moussel gel. Its effect is unique: when you breathe you clearly catch a note that is also in Oud Wood on a good day a kind of sublimated Legrain Moussel gel. Top-notch fixation and non-linear evolution. It works well all year round though more for night than day. In a hostile world that fresh Aoud from Roja with its Swarovski crystals on the cap is a reminder that divine things still exist.

  For me Roja takes the lead today over the rest of niche perfumery. I just bought Oceania and it’s brutal but Roja Oud remains my favorite perfume in the world. It’s the best rose-oud blend I’ve ever tried light years ahead of prestigious things like Phi Une Rose de Kandahar by Andy Tauer. It has an undeniable animal/sexual touch; I won’t be more explicit but it’s like the perfume of an encounter with a girlfriend you love deeply showered two hours prior with Legrain Moussel gel. It has a unique effect: when you breathe you catch a note that curiously is also in Oud Wood on a good day like that gel sublimated. Fixation and evolution are non-linear and very good. It goes for any season though more for night than day. In a hostile world that fresh Aoud from Roja with its Swarovski crystals is a reminder that there are still divine things.

  In my opinion Roja is currently above the rest of niche houses. I recently bought Oceania and it’s impressively good but Roja Aoud is my favorite perfume in the world. It’s the best rose-oud combination I’ve had the chance to try light years ahead of fragrances as prestigious as Phi Une Rose de Kandahar by Andy Tauer. It has an undeniable animal/sexual touch; I don’t want to be too descriptive but it’s the embodiment in perfume of an encounter with a girlfriend you love deeply showered a couple of hours prior with Legrain Moussel gel. It has a unique effect: when you breathe you clearly note a note that curiously is also in Oud Wood on a good day. A kind of sublimated Legrain Moussel gel. Very good fixation and non-linear evolution. I’d say it works well for any season and moment though perhaps a bit more for night than day. In such a hostile world a fresh Aoud from Roja with its Swarovski crystals on the cap constitutes a reminder that divine things also exist.

  Phi Une Rose de Kandahar has not a whiff of oud so it doesn’t compete in that oversaturated arena. It’s true that Aoud is sublime and requires an expert nose to appreciate but that doesn’t make Tauer inferior; L’OU DH is a marvel that no one is talking about.

  The scent is exactly what the name promises: a rich yet soft and refined oud with a rose that holds its own against the agarwood. At first the verbena refreshes it adding a citrusy almost metallic and rough touch; it’s a tease that leaves you wondering if it’s a flaw or a stroke of genius. Then the oud and rose merge into the two pillars with dark woody and floral nuances creating a warm atmosphere. After a few hours I barely notice the other ingredients. In short the perfume works well and has its place though one must remember that in 2011 this blend was uncharted territory. Today almost every brand has something similar at much lower prices. What I’ve tried from Roja so far smells great but it doesn’t quite justify such an investment.
