All About Aoud - With Roja Dove

[@UnstoppableJefe]

This man loves what he does, I can hear the passion in his voice.

[@adnanjagalstyle]

Of course he love Guerlain😅

My god... Roja’s presence is that of a unconditionally loving mother or father. Warm and embracing, I could listen and watch him all day.

Awh!!

Hahaha so true. I'm partly listening for learning and inspire, but his voice and tone really does calm me during such mind blowing times... 😊 🙏 🌈 😎 🌻

Perfect! I can't improve on that, so I won't try!

He is indeed delightful. ❤

[@ashwanikumarsharma15151]

Yeah, but his perfumes are very very expensive 😢

It amazes me how this video has so little views and this channel so few subscriptions! This is a must for any fragrance lover. A true masterclass!!!

[@mohammedalzahrani7239]

Having smelled some Rojas and owned two, I am now seriously considering getting rid of my whole collection and start collecting only Rojas! They smell divine.

[@user-hn9cj6kh9j]

Exactly my thinking yesterday before I watched this video. Puredistance M which is made by Roja might be the best scent I ever smelled.

I much appreciate your voice, your style, your class, your passion and the history behind each creation, one can sense just by listening to you.

[@keithchegwin1222]

The room you're sitting in, and the clothes you're wearing fit perfectly for when talking about oud, it caused a feeling in my feet. Smells, colours, shapes and music are really the same thing to a degree to me. I wish you all the best. You're the real deal I can tell.

[@TheScentientMan]

Wonderful video. Very detailed. It's quite a coincidence that this video came out today because on the weekend I discovered an atomiser of Aoud that I've owned for over six years. So I wore it yesterday. It really is something special and I feel it's become smoother over time.

[@rojadove4680]

Fabulous :)

[@coreypowers2100]

I have smelled all the brands and Roja is the absolute best house there is!!! I wish I could hit the reset button and have bought only Roja and nothing else

[@thedistinguishedbiker1539]

My all time favorite house. My wife and I own many of Roja's beautiful creations. As a frequent visitor to Dubai Roja's UAE is a personnel favorite of mine. It captures the UAE perfectly.

That was an amazing video Roger, I've lived most my life in Dubai and have been fascinated by Aoud since I was a child. I've become obsessed with strong perfumes since my late teens and at 53 years now, I'm even more appreciative of a good solid perfume. Aoud, musk, Civat and Ambergris are ingredients that I absolutely adore in a blend.

[@hocineted7594]

Does amber aoud contain real ambergris ?

[@Sam-gn6og]

Oud is an Arabic word for 'wood'. It's refers also to the masculine scent that's in 'bokhour' and it has some history behind it. Dried Agarwood and Aloswood were a common valued trade in ancient arabia and was prized by arabs and jews as it was associated with piety and holy sites.

In the next day or so I hope to make it over to Oswald and or Scent Bar in NYC (I live near those locations) to experience your creations. I hope they have a good selection to explore. I'm partial to oud, frankincense, myrrh, patchouli, amber, and in florals -- all the heavy hitters -- tuberose, jasmine, gardenia, lily. I'm no 'shrinking violet' when it comes to fragrance.😉

[@greglongphee2034]

Like many of life's most memorable experiences, aoud is an acquired taste. Few take to oysters on the half-shell at first-go. But persevering will reward you. Such is Aoud. Having spent a good portion of my childhood in the Middle East may account for my affinity for it. Xerjoff's Oud-Stars offering MAMLUK, is my favourite so far. Oud for Greatness has a certain appeal, but not enough to get me to take the plunge. No question but that Aoud adds mystique, depth and power to any fragrance. Well blended it is intoxicating. Doubt I'll be sampling any of Roja's offerings any time soon, given their heady prices.

[@alanhansen8218]

this is an expert and eloquent tutorial on aoud by Roja Dove himself. I would like to add a few random but related thoughts: I do not have a signature scent, but I do wear a signature note daily to some degree - the note of aoud. I'm fortunate to have in my collection "Musc Aoud," "Sweetie Aoud," "Enigma Aoud," and "O;" and I do hope to add "Ahlam" or "H" next. Roja's staff are amazingly kind, professional, and knowledgeable individuals who are only too willing to assist clientele with an elevated and quite certain measure of egalitarianism. (as a Hospice nurse myself, and my partner as a machinist; we have always been attended without pretension or condescension. I offer here very special gratitude to office staff Daisy and Harrods shop 'curator' Maurice - thank you.) Roja Dove's life work and artistic endeavors have played and continue to play an indispensable role in my fragrance world.

Roja, I have a question about Oud. What are the different aromas of OUD? Which do you prefer and use in your creations? I know it all depends on where the Oud comes from but could you be more descriptive on the ouds of various places?

[@devstation18]

Majorly and exclusively from the Eastern and North Eastern states of India and parts of South Eastern Asian forests India mainly Assam , Tripura , Nagaland , Manipur these are the eastern Himalayas and Foothills which are its origin and natural habitat and some of the worlds best quality oils are from here Then Bangladesh parts of Cambodia , Laos and Myanmar my home state West Bengal also has some as all ghese are our neighbouring states .
