Roja Dove Candy Aoud For Men and Women

Candy Aoud is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance from the British house Roja Parfums, released in 2015 and signed by perfumer Roja Dove. This fragrance for men and women blends the sweetness of fruit with the depth of oud and leather in a rich, bold composition. It suits anyone who loves oud but wants it softer and more joyful than traditional oud.

The Story of Candy Aoud

This fragrance belongs to Roja’s Aoud series, which Roja Dove drew from the Middle East’s love of oud and rich scents. The idea here was to present oud in a “candy” spirit: ripe, sugary fruits at the start, followed by a long, opulent base that brings together oud, leather, amber and spices.

How Candy Aoud Evolves

The fragrance opens with Grapefruit and Bergamot, a citrus opening that leads to a distinctly fruity heart of Banana, Pear, Apple and Blackcurrant with a touch of Rose. Then the very rich base emerges: Oud, Leather, Birch, Amber, Saffron, Rhubarb and Patchouli, with Gurjun Balsam, Musk, Sandalwood, Cashmere Wood, Cardamom, Labdanum, Oakmoss, Iris, Fir Balsam, Amyris, Cedarwood and Frankincense. The result is a multi-layered scent that keeps changing on the skin for hours.

Oud and Fruit: An Unexpected Formula

Oud is one of the most precious aromatic materials and one of the most present in Arab taste, but in Candy Aoud it doesn’t come across as sharp or smoky. Instead, it is wrapped in the sweetness of fruit and the warmth of amber and leather. This blend makes the fragrance appealing to oud lovers and lovers of sweet fragrances alike.

Who Is This Fragrance For?

Candy Aoud suits men and women who love a strong presence and luxurious, head-turning scents, and those looking for an evening fragrance different from classic oud. It is a lovely choice for occasions and nights out, and for anyone who wants a fragrance that leaves a clear trail.

When to Wear It

This fragrance shines in autumn and winter, especially in the evening, when the cool air gives its rich base room to come through. In hot weather, one or two sprays are enough, as it has strong projection.

What Makes Candy Aoud Special

What sets it apart is that it brings together two worlds that rarely meet: playful fruits and luxurious oud, in a composition rich with a large number of ingredients. If you like this style, you may also love saffron fragrances and winter fragrances.

Tips for Wearing Candy Aoud

• Spray on your pulse points: the neck, behind the ears and the inner wrists. Body heat helps release the scent gradually.
• Don’t rub your wrists together after spraying. Rubbing breaks the top notes and changes the balance of the opening.
• Two to three sprays are enough for most occasions. Add one spray on your clothes if you want it to last longer.
• Moisturize your skin with an unscented cream before spraying. Moisturized skin holds fragrance longer.
• Try the fragrance on your skin and wait half an hour before judging it, as the base reveals the composition’s true character.

How to Care for Your Fragrance

Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity, ideally in its box inside a cupboard, not in the bathroom or the car. Close the cap tightly after each use to limit the oils’ exposure to air, as these factors are what most change a scent over time.
