Amber Aoud helps you test the waters of oud. As it isnt a prominent note. But beautifully blended throughout. Its is distinctly opulent. It is for someone who wants to smell powerful, confident and unmistakably expensive. Strengths: Superb quality raw materials. Good longevity. Especially on clothing. Although can stain so use with caution. It is a complex and evolving fragrance like all Roja Dove. Stunning bottle presentation
Very very old person smelling. Like grandma vibes. I would associate this with a lady in her 70s🤣 This one ain't for me at all. Can't believe I bought into the hype kmt
Great scent, criminally bad performance. Plus, for all the prestige and ridiculous prices of this brand, this isn't offering anything new, nor is it serving me the dazzling beauty and wonder of similarly priced oud fragrances. There are so many things I'd go for over this due to the poor performance and lack of originality. For me this brand is just way too cunty and elite, and while they do have some good perfumes, they seem to have been perfected into oblivion. There's no charm, no edge, nothing to make me come back. And it's not just the price, I mean I have bought perfumes in the same price range but to me the Roja Dove ones are worth a quarter of what they're asking for at most. Update: dries down to a very synthetic-smelling woody amber base.
ROJA PARFUMS AOUD AND AMBER AOUD BOTH UNISEX I wanted to make a post of these Roja Dove’s two perfumes since there seems to be people who would like to know the difference of these two and if another one is redundant if you already have the other. You can check the differences from the notes of course but that doesn’t tell always how those similarities or/and differences appears. So here is my opinion. As I love Roja so much I have both: Aoud in 30ml and 100ml and Amber Aoud Crystal in 100ml. I like to have both and for me I feel that I need to have both. The difference is not so big for most of the people but it’s noticeable. Differences are: - Amber Aoud is slightly more sweet because of Fig in the opening and Benzoin in the base. - In the same time it’s warmer because of Ambergris and Benzoin in the base. (Ambergris is as well in Aoud but it’s not the main note.) - Aoud is more fresh and rosy. It’s more traditional Rose Oud scent. - Even if there is Saffron in both, Aoud is more earthy since there is less the main notes in overall so Saffron is easier to detect. - I would say that Aoud is not so complex than Amber Aoud. In Aoud it’s really easy to smell Rose, Saffron and Oud separately while in Amber Aoud its 5 different main base notes are really well blended. - Aoud is the first one of those three (Aoud, Musk Aoud, Amber Aoud) which Roja launched so it is like the most simple one. If you want a real Rose Oud scent go for Aoud, if you are not a huge fan of traditional Rose Ouds, you can love Amber Aoud. MY OPINION: If you like AOUD, you will like Amber Aoud as well but not automatically in the other way. These both perfumes are suitable in the same kind of occasions, they share the same kind of feeling and character despite of the differences. They are attractive, seductice, rich, complex, mesmerising, utterly luxurious and absolutely in among of the best scents ever. The juice of the original perfumes is very dark and it stains clothes permanently so Crystal versions of those scents are very practical. I love to wear these scents during a summertime and with white clothes so clear juice is great with them. The scent itself is identical with the dark, original juice, only the colour has been removed.Both perfumes are unisex. I hope this will help some people to choose between these two chic, captivating and mesmerizing perfumes. Musk Aoud is by the way totally different and unfortunately it’s discontinued due to the regulations of certain natural ingredients. I’m happy to own it as 30ml og and 100ml crystal (review is my 4th post). Thank you for reading and I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
Amber Aoud opens with the most realistic, juicy fig note with bright and sparkly florals such as rose, ylang and jasmine, accompanied by refreshing hints of bergamot and lemon. It’s a much fresher and fruitier opening than you would expect for an oud fragrance, but it’s stunning nonetheless. Following this, it develops a robust heart with intense sweetness coming from the fig and saffron, but with a slight earthy bitterness and warm spiciness from the oud, civet, ambergris and cinnamon. Amber Aoud takes a while to completely dry down as the sweet fig, saffron and cinnamon lingers leaving an addictive and alluring scent trail. Eventually you are left with sweet florals of rose and saffron, expertly blended with an oily oud and creamy ambergris. The warm spices linger gently overall creating the most addicting scent bubble that just oozes quality and class. Amber Aoud is simply stunning, however despite how much I love it I personally think Aoud and Musk Aoud are better. Amber Aoud is slightly overhyped and overpriced, and judging from the name you would expect the oud to be more prominent. Nevertheless this is a modern masterpiece and one of the best floral ambergris scents on the market, a must try for those who adore sweet fragrances.
After finally acquiring a bottle of Amber Aoud, I feel I can write a second review now that I’ve been able to wear it more often. This opens very similarly to the original Aoud, hints of lemon and bergamot alongside a floral medley of rose, jasmine and ylang compliment that classic woody base perfectly. Soon after the spraying, a juicy note of fig emerges which takes the first steps into a sweeter direction. This sweetness is intensified by cinnamon, saffron and a delectable Amber accord of the highest quality. Alongside this is the classic salty ambergris and oud duo which is so loved in the original. Amber Aoud is an absolute masterpiece and I can see why it’s the best seller from the 3 - it’s simply the most captivating. Where Aoud is dry and regal, and Musk Aoud being clean and subtle, this one truly pulls you in and seduces you straight away. I find this fragrance to be much more youthful, playful and versatile than the other two Aouds. Such a beautiful creation perfect for evening wear when you’re looking to attract others.
It’s one of the brand’s most recognisable fragrances, rich, sensual, and enveloping. A multi layered, perfectly balanced composition where rose, oud, amber, and saffron take centre stage. It settles on the skin like a warm, golden aura, elegant, deep, yet never overwhelming. The scent is distinctive while maintaining a sense of refinement and calm, it draws people in rather than dominate. Longevity is very good, as is characteristic of Roja Dove. The projection is noticeable for the first few hours, gradually softening into a closer, more intimate presence.
