Sexy, sensual, erotic, mysterious, animalic, sweet, naughty

Musk Aoud is one of my favorite Rojas from Aoud Collection and it has a very special place in my heart since it was my first scent from Roja Parfums. I bought it blindly and its enchantment has never faded. The color of this crystal cap is the most gorgeous of all! I think that this scent is totally underrated but I understand that it's not so easy to wear for many.

I can’t get enough of this deep and complex scent. It's so sexy, sensual, erotic and mysterious. It's slightly animalic woody musky juice which is blended into perfection like all perfumes from Roja. You have to like oud and musk but it is not so challenging which you could think. The aroma of the scent is Roja's sophisticated and classy style without any roughness or pungent and brash nuances. Musk and Oud are not edgy here but noticeable ones and appropriately naughty but so pleasant in the same time. This will grow on you easily. Flowers play a supporting role in this fragrance rather than bringing a really floral aspect to it. After this settles down it turns so soft, a little bit powdery and a little bit sweet. It’s like the sexy smell of the skin! Vanilla, Nutmeg, Ambrette and Tonka they each bring their own "neutral" and natural sweetness to the fragrance, without being in any way comparable to sugary sweetness. The spiciness is really soft, and it doesn't remind of any food because the traditional oriental spices are missing. One note which can be challenging for me is leather but I never have that problem with Roja's style to do it. Everything in this is so polished.

This is totally unisex since it doesn’t have so obvious “man” or “woman” characteristics. There is a little difference in the opening between dark and crystal juice but after 10 minutes those are totally same. The difference can be as well because of the age of the bottles. The longevity is eternal. I simply love this, I can't praise it enough and I need to add a big bottle of dark one as well. So sad that this is discontinued. Again one Roja's scent which doesn't have any similar competitor in the market.

Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review.

I agree. I have bought the most of my Rojas and Amouages blindly and I have to say that I have been so lucky. 😅

Hi, sorry but I don’t know anything about the dupes because honestly I don’t support dupe industry and I find the quality of them bad. I do understand that the price makes some beautiful perfumes unreachable. 😞 The more simple and synthetic is the original perfume the closer dupes are. Since there is nothing similar to this one and because this is complex and high en quality the sad truth is that dupes can’t reach the same aroma with synthetic ingredients. Even if the actual scent would de reminiscent of Musk Aoud it would be synthetic compared with the original one.
