Fragrance description Roja Parfums Candy Aoud
Candy Aoud is an oriental fragrance for men and women from Roja
Parfums, a British niche perfume brand. Since 2007, Roja Parfums
has been offering its customers a brand new concept of luxury and
sophistication in perfumery that is fit for our modern times. It
proudly bears the name of its leading personality, one of the
greatest fragrance designers in history. Roja Dove is known for
using the finest ingredients available and for his precision and
painstaking attention to detail, as well as his personal
philosophy of never settling for less than the best. Candy Aoud
from Roja Parfums offers a highly creative take on an oudh
fragrance with a delicious touch of fruit.
The wood of the aquilaria tree, also known as eagle wood, agar
wood, oud, aoud or (in Arabic) oudh, is a fascinating material
with a resinous aroma, the most expensive wood in the world, used
for centuries to make incense and perfumes, particularly Arabian
ones. Roja Dove used this truly royal ingredient, also called the
“wood of the Gods”, in a completely new way. “When I lived in the
Middle East, surrounded by indulgence and sinfully delicious
treats, I noticed that those who love oudh desire something new –
something creative. And so I started toying with the idea of
combining agar wood with elements of fine dining,” is how Roja
Dove describes his inspiration.
His approach gave birth to a truly unusual oudh perfume. Candy
Aoud from Roja Parfums presents precious and valuable agar wood
in an oriental composition with pronounced fruity aspects. The
aroma of this unique perfume starts with head accords of bergamot
and grapefruit. The heart follows with Provence rose, apple,
blackcurrant, pear and banana and the composition is completed by
a foundation of rhubarb, cardamom, saffron, gurjum, sedge,
patchouli, oak moss, fir balsam, cashmere wood, amyris,
sandalwood, agar wood, iris root, incense, birch, labdanum,
leather, ambergris and musk.
The rich, leathery foundation is warmed by a combination of
precious woods and refreshed with the unusual note of rhubarb.
Spice gives the fragrance life and rose in the heart accentuates
the sweetness of fruit balanced by citrus notes. The full aroma,
which originally combines a woody and fruity character with
balsam blended with spicy, sweet and leathery notes, is rich,
delicate, sweet, fruity, spicy and warm. Candy Aoud from Roja
Parfums lives up to the promise of its name, delivering an oudh
fragrance with a delicious touch. This lovely, incredibly
alluring perfume is another example of the masterful skills of
perfumer Roja Dove.
The packaging of Candy Aoud from Roja Parfums is beautiful. As
is the case with all the Roja Parfums fragrances, the bottle
Candy Aoud comes in is a masterful, hand-finished piece made in
France from the purest glass there is. The gold label is manually
embedded in the glass in England and the gorgeous ornate cap, the
symbol of Roja Parfums, is hand-decorated with Swarovski
crystals. The Roja Parfums Candy Aoud bottle is packaged in a
beautiful, lavish box.
The Roja Parfums Candy Aoud perfume is suitable for day and
evening wear throughout the year. This amazing perfume will
forever win the hearts of all lovers of highly original and sweet
oriental fragrances and delight everyone who has long searched
for something truly new among o
