It follows the Middle Eastern tradition of gum resins: lemon, bergamot and lime open it, rose, jasmine, ylang ylang and fig form the heart, and oud, saffron, cinnamon, benzoin and ambergris sit in the base. It is a dense, warm scent, and dense scents are best tried on skin first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Lemon, Bergamot, Lime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Rose de Mai, Jasmin de Grasse, Ylang Ylang, Fig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Cinnamon, Saffron, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Oud, Benzoin, Orris, Birch, Ambergris, Musk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA short citrus lift\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLemon, bergamot and lime open the scent with a clean, brief lift. They clear the way without defining it: within a few minutes the citrus gives way and the warmer, darker parts of the composition take over, like lifting a lid before the resin appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRose, jasmine, ylang ylang, fig\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart pairs Rose de Mai and Jasmin de Grasse for a rich floral, with ylang ylang adding a creamy, heavy sweetness. Fig contributes a green, milky fruit with a hint of wood. This is the soft, plush bridge between the bright start and the dark resin beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOud, saffron and resin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the base oud brings a smoky, leathery depth, saffron a warm metallic spice and cinnamon a sweet heat. Benzoin adds sweet resin, sandalwood a creamy wood, and patchouli, oakmoss, orris and birch dry earth and a hint of smoke. Ambergris supplies the salty note, musk the softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTest the sample on a cool evening, with one application on the chest or neck, since the Parfum is dense and stays close to the skin. Wear it a second time on a milder day to check whether the resin and oud still feel comfortable. Give it space instead of adding more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sample suits anyone who enjoys resinous, spiced woods and does not mind a scent with presence, and people who want oud in a sweet, rounded form, with benzoin, fig and rose softening the edges. The house lists it as unisex. If you prefer light, fresh scents, this is not the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Roja Parfums Amber Aoud as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOud perfumes with this many materials, eleven in the base alone, work differently on every skin: some people get a sweet resin, others a dry, smoky wood. A 10 ml decant shows which side Amber Aoud takes on you before you invest in a 50 ml bottle of Parfum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in the vial?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 10 ml decant of Roja Parfums Amber Aoud Parfum in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us.
