  The now-discontinued Tutti Frutti line from Roja Parfums featured three gourmands united by one common thread: oud. Candy Aoud is a woody oud with birch and leather notes that give it a dirty edge all wrapped in sweetness. It’s linear with decent projection leaning unisex-masculine despite the pink bottles suggesting otherwise. I like it dry but it just doesn’t fully convince me when worn. I tested it on family and no one cared enough to ask about the brand or the $550 price tag for 50ml; they just said it was ‘fine.’ To me it feels like an overcomplicated offering since Frutti Aoud delivers the same vibe but leans into fruit feels dirtier while Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is more pleasant with an initial oud burst followed by banana fruit notes and Qatar smells like cotton candy with incense. They all carry that signature sweet DNA typical of Roja. The fact that I don’t like it doesn’t mean others won’t but oddly enough both this scent and Frutti Aoud were discontinued due to poor sales. The only real winner is Sweetie Aoud one of the best gourmands I’ve ever smelled. Are you missing out on something special? No. It’s not worth hunting down unless you have a fetish for collecting Roja bottles which will leave a hole in your wallet.
