Fragrance description Roja Parfums Musk Aoud
Musk Aoud is a chypre 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 befits 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. The
mysterious and incredibly Roja Parfums Musk Aoud
represents an original and surprising approach to the traditional
scent of oudh.
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 blend with musk, another legendary
ingredient of perfume-making, in a completely novel way. “I have
made a perfume that combines two of the most legendary materials
of them all – musk and oudh. I wanted to find out how far you can
push the oudh note from its usual direction to create something
utterly unexpected,” he says.
Musk Aoud from Roja Parfums presents a marriage of the dominant
accords of musk and oudh wood in a mysterious and immensely
chypre composition that is warm, delicate, lightly sweet
and spicy, with a touch of leather. The fragrance of Musk Aoud
opens in the head with accords of lemon and bergamot; the heart
chimes in with Provence rose, jasmine from Grasse and ylang-ylang
and the foundation completes the composition with notes of agar
wood, ambrette , birch, oakmoss, leather, labdanum, nutmeg,
patchouli, musk, sandalwood, tonka beans, vanilla and other
precious woods.
The full aroma, in a floral chypre composition that combines
the dominant aspects of musk and wood in an original and
masterful way with the exciting note of leather and a hint of
spiciness and balsam, is unmistakable and incomparable. The Roja
Parfums Musk Aoud perfume is another masterpiece from the rightly
accled Roja Dove.
The same applies to the perfume’s packaging. As is the case
with all the Roja Parfums fragrances, the bottle Musk 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 Musk Aoud bottle is packaged in a beautiful, lavish box.
Musk Aoud from Roja Parfums is suitable for day and evening
wear, particularly in the colder months. This breathtaking
perfume will forever win the hearts of all who love the
conjunction of oudh and musk, as well as everyone who seeks
inventiveness and originality in their perfumes. Musk Aoud will
make its wearer feel truly unique, enveloped in a ,
alluringly mysterious and completely unmistakable aroma that will
never fail to arouse admiring attention. Its superior quality and
unparalleled luxury in every detail and aspect make Musk Aoud
from Roja Parfums the perfect gift
