About This Perfume

Roja The Oud smells like smoky cedar and spice warmed by amber and distant florals. It opens with geranium, mandarin orange and bergamot, moves into magnolia, ylang-ylang and jasmine and settles on cloves, patchouli and labdanum. It reads unisex.

It works across all four seasons and is an evening scent. It suits casual days. Released in 2023.

Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something woody and warm for casual days.
  • Sample first if: you are unsure about strong woody notes; this one divides opinion.
  • Skip if: you dislike amber fragrances.

Around $452.

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.
