Oajan
Oajan by Parfums de Marly is an unisex eau de parfum from 2013 in the luxury price tier. It opens with saffron and dates, moves into oud and rose and dries down to vanilla, amber and musk. Expect around 11 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Dates Sticky, jammy dried fruit. The backbone of Middle Eastern gourmands.
Heart
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
