Harrods Aoud
Harrods Aoud by Roja Parfums is an unisex parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with aldehydes, citrus notes and artemisia, moves into rose de mai and dries down to elemi, cinnamon, cypriol, patchouli, cedarwood and guaiac wood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
- Citrus Notes A mix of citrus peel with no single fruit named.
- Artemisia Bitter and silvery-herbal. Wormwood, the backbone of a fougère.
Heart
- Rose de Mai Softer, honeyed May rose. Expensive and unmistakably natural.
Dry-down
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
