Roja Sweetie Aoud Parfum
Description
Sweetie Aoud pairs a buttery patisserie accord with real agarwood, launched by Roja Dove in 2015. Reviewers describe it as smelling like "a pastry shop in Paris" crossed with warm, resinous oud, a gourmand-oud combination that's rich without being cloying, built for cold-weather statement wear.
Scent Character
- Woody: 39%
- Oud: 28%
- Fresh: 17%
- Spicy: 11%
- White Floral: 6%
Translation: a genuinely oud-forward composition, one of the most oud-forward in Roja's line. Despite the "Sweetie" name and patisserie accord, the gourmand character reads through the warm buttery notes rather than sugary sweetness, layered over real agarwood.
