Amber Aoud Crystal
Amber Aoud Crystal by Roja Parfums is an unisex parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with lemon, bergamot and lime, moves into rose de mai, jasmine, ylang-ylang and fig and dries down to cinnamon, saffron, patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood and oud. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
Heart
- Rose de Mai Softer, honeyed May rose. Expensive and unmistakably natural.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
Dry-down
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
