About This Perfume
Roja Sweetie Aoud smells like sweet rose and oud warmed by cardamom and incense. Artemisia and bergamot open it with an herbal brightness. Cistus and May rose make a soft, resinous rose heart. The base is long and layered: sweet notes, frankincense, gaiac wood, amyris, cedarwood, gurjun balsam, labdanum, oud, patchouli, cardamom, cumin, cypriol and juniper wood. Released in 2015, it is unisex.
It is a night scent for spring, fall and winter, and the community points it at dates. It is romantic and aromatic, a rose oud where the sweetness rounds off the smoke and spice. At this price, and with cumin and oud in the base, it is well worth smelling before buying a full bottle.
It lasts a long time and fills a room. The community flags that it needs maceration, so let a new bottle rest for a while before you judge it.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: rose and oud lovers who want a sweet, resinous evening scent.
- Sample first if: cumin or oud are new to you, given the luxury price.
- Skip if: you want a fresh, light daytime scent.
Around $410.

The Brand
Roja
Roja has 183 perfumes indexed on Scendira, Scendira's highest-priced brand by a wide margin. The six most-common accords are woody (109 perfumes), citrus (56), amber (52), aromatic (44), powdery (39), and warm-spiced (35), built on bergamot, jasmine, rose, musk, patchouli, and vanilla. Prices run $129.95 to $3,500, with a $500 median, luxury pricing throughout. 65% of the range reads unisex. By community mentions, Elysium Noir leads clearly, followed by Burlington 1819, then a tight cluster of Oceania, Apex, and Enigma. Roja Dove is a British luxury perfumer, and the catalogue reflects that: aromatic-citrus openings on a woody, powdery base, in the register of a serious, old-world perfume house rather than a mass-market Gulf brand. Filter by note below, or ask Dira which Roja perfume actually matches what you want to smell like.
