I purchased Crystal Aoud for half price off of Roja Parfums, £295 for 100ml which personally (and very low knowledge on fragrance) found to be an acceptable price when other niche brands such and Creed for example are around the £300 mark for that same quantatiy. 🤷🏽♂️

Nice!!! Really appreciate this Peter. Especially those thoughts on Enigma Aoud. I think Roja once mentioned that they actually do invest in the process of removing the atranols from oakmoss absolute so I wouldn't be surprised if they had the cash to do the same thing with certain rose materials. But yeah, sweet gourmandy materials....not exactly the most pricey.💲 They do make me hungry though. 😄

My only issue with Mr.🕊- is that he has no shame asking that kind of money for his perfumes. My only issue with oud is that it became a trademark that justifies a huge price sticker just for the fact that they put oud on the label. It's just another raw material after all and putting a drop of oud in the blend doesn't make it an oud perfume. Only those perfumes that have a dominating oud note should be entitled to be called oud perfumes. But I'm afraid Roja doesn't care for my opinion lol ps: I've smelled that Aoud line, was surprised it's called Aoud....

Not 1 of roja doves are overly sweet dont let somone review influence your mind. I have smelt maybe 25 roja doves, and not 1 is focused on sweetness. The ones that are sweet are subtle sweet, and the knky 1 out of the oud range that is sweet is sweety aoud.

He will often list a barrage of notes deliberately to make people believe it's complex or that you detect a mirage of notes, but actually he's using the same amount that is average. With Roja it is all smoke & mirrors. Don't be fooled by a shiny plastic cap on a plain bottle.

My advice is to stay away from Roja fragrances. They are mainly clones of far better scents with an old school twist. Roja Dove is not a trained perfumer, he is someone who made his money in marketing & knows how to sell anything at high prices. In marketing he is an expert, in perfumery he is NOT.

My advice is to always follow your nose. If you like it, you like it, if you don't , you don't. Everything else is bs. I like some Roja's a lot, others not so much. There's no such thing as a "better scent" that's pure sales bs.
