Taif Aoud, now my signature fragrance, has conquered my heart faster than any other fragrance so far. A fragrance that I reach for when I don't know what to wear today, a fragrance that is super unique but at the same time incredibly pleasing and has so far given me nothing but positive, even
enthusiastic reactions.

But now to the important part, how does the Taif Aoud go? For me, it is the most beautiful realization of the Taif rose, which I get right at the beginning in combination with the usual Roja citrus, which makes the rose almost tingling for me, but just so that it does not tickle my nose. At the same time, the fragrance is very radiant, but not obtrusive, rather airy and pleasant. The air around you absorbs the fragrance and carries it gently with you. Over time, the rose in combination with the other fruity-floral fragrance notes becomes increasingly soapy and a woody, soft oud joins in, giving the fragrance a very light oriental feel. After many, many hours, the fragrance blends more and more with the smell of my skin and gently fades away.

An absolute dream of a fragrance that, for me, perfectly captures the feeling of love with its warmth, floral facets and deep scent. In addition, Ti Amo really smells completely different on every skin, so on my skin the warm and chocolaty fragrance notes come through above all, which are joined by very light floral fragrance notes. Meanwhile, on others, the fragrance develops into a floral, almost chypre-like scent that becomes slightly gourmand. Another masterpiece from Roja Dove that you simply have to smell. Certainly not for everyone, but for me it's a hit.

This fragrance has fascinated me since the first sniff and was my introduction to the world of oud. It's a super potent fragrance but it's not overpowering, at least not for me. The oud takes a little while to emerge, but it doesn't come on abruptly but gently creeps in with the other fragrance notes. A really perfectly balanced fragrance that is truly flawless for me. An extraordinary fragrance that you won't smell twice and that is completely worth the relatively high price.

I almost didn't want to like it, but here the hype is completely justified, at least for me. The first time I tried it on my skin, I knew it was THE leather fragrance for me. I was fascinated by how the fruity raspberry remains so present alongside the leather throughout the entire fragrance, how the individual fragrance notes blend more and more and create a beautiful, potent and soft overall composition that is simply addictive.

The first time I smelled the fragrance on the test strip, it almost overwhelmed me. The sour passion fruit note in particular bothered me somehow, so it was clear to me that this was not my fragrance. At least that's what I thought. A few weeks later, however, the nice perfumery owner persuaded me to test the fragrance on my skin. I still found the openig strong, but somehow interesting and captivating. The drydown, the development into dark, leathery and chocolaty with a lot of rum, however, quickly took away my decision as to which fragrance would be next for me.
