Comparing Amber Aoud and Aoud
I haven't written a separate in-depth review of Amber Aoud yet but here are a comparison of differences with Aoud. You find my in-depth review of Aoud.
The rating is same for both.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AOUD AND AMBER AOUD
Both unisex with eternal longevity, huge sillage and projection.
I wanted to write about these Roja Dove’s two perfumes since there seems to be people who would like to know the difference of these two and if another one is redundant if you already have the other. You can check the differences from the notes of course but that doesn’t tell always how those similarities or/and differences appears. So here is my opinion.
As I love Roja so much I have both: Aoud in 30ml and 100ml and Amber Aoud Crystal in 100ml. I like to have both and for me I feel that I need to have both. The difference is not so big for most of the people but it’s very noticeable for trained nose, rosewood lovers and Roja fans.
Differences are:
- Amber Aoud is slightly more sweet because of Fig in the opening and Benzoin in the base.
- In the same time it’s warmer because of Ambergris and Benzoin in the base. (Ambergris is as well in Aoud but it’s not the main note.)
- Aoud is more fresh and rosy. It’s more traditional Rose Oud scent.
- Even if there is Saffron in both, Aoud is more earthy since there is less the main notes in overall so Saffron is easier to detect.
- I would say that Aoud is not so complex than Amber Aoud. In Aoud it’s really easy to smell Rose, Saffron and Oud separately while in Amber Aoud its 5 different main base notes are really well blended.
- Aoud is the first one of those three (Aoud, Musk Aoud, Amber Aoud) which Roja launched so it is like the most simple one.
- Amber oud has a smoky feeling in it, it varies a lot between different batches though.
If you want a real Rose Oud scent go for Aoud, if you are not a huge fan of traditional Rose Ouds, you can love Amber Aoud.
MY OPINION: If you like AOUD, you will like Amber Aoud as well but not automatically in the other way.
I hope this will help some people to choose between these two chic, captivating and mesmerizing perfumes. Musk Aoud is by the way totally different and unfortunately it’s discontinued due to the regulations of certain natural ingredients. I’m happy to own it as 30ml og and 100ml crystal.
These both perfumes are suitable in the same kind of occasions, they share the same kind of feeling and character despite of the differences. They are attractive, seductice, rich, complex, mesmerising, utterly luxurious and absolutely in among of the best scents ever. The juice of the original perfumes is very dark and it stains clothes permanently so Crystal versions of those scents are very practical. I love to wear these scents during a summertime and with white clothes so clear juice is great with them. The scent itself is identical with the dark, original juice, only the colour has been removed.Both perfumes are unisex.
