A sweet oud with pastry, rose and smoke
Roja Parfums Sweetie Aoud is a Parfum that turns oud gourmand: the brand sets it in a royal palace kitchen, with a pastry accord and rose sweetening the smoky aoud wood. The base is long and woody, with frankincense, cypriol and labdanum among twelve notes. Sweet oud is a very personal style, and a decant shows where this one sits between dessert and smoke.

How it unfolds
-
Bergamot and artemisia
Bergamot gives a clean citrus opening and artemisia a dry, bitter, herbal note. They work like a brief palate cleanser and hint that the scent will not be simply sugary. It is a short stage, so look past it to what follows.
-
Rose and the pastry accord
Rose de Mai, cistus and a patisserie accord share the heart. A warm, baked sweetness comes from the pastry note; rose rounds it off with a petal softness, while cistus brings dry resin so the sugar never turns sticky. This is the stage to watch for how sweet the perfume feels to you.
-
A deep base of wood and smoke
The base lists twelve notes, from cardamom, cumin and gurjum to cypriol, aoud wood, frankincense and labdanum. Together they make a dark, smoky, balsamic floor of dry wood and warm spice. The sweetness from the heart stays in view without drowning it.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Wear it on a cool evening or a cold day and apply lightly to the chest, because a Parfum with this much wood and smoke is dense. Give it time to move from the bright start through the pastry heart to the dark base. A hot office or a crowded lift is not the place to judge it; try it in the mood it was written for.
Who it is for
Listed as unisex. A good match for anyone who finds dry, resinous oud severe and would like a rounder, sweeter take, and for dessert lovers who want something dark and smoky under the sugar. If you dislike sweet scents altogether, the pastry accord is the risk, and the sample settles it.
Why try Roja Parfums Sweetie Aoud as a sample first
Roja calls it a gourmand perfume and a sweet oud, exactly the kind of idea that splits opinion: dessert on one wearer, perfumery on another. The 10 ml decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you see which. It is not a brand sample, and Roja is not involved.

Frequently asked
What is in the decant?
Sweetie Aoud Parfum, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a 10 ml glass spray vial and labelled by us. We are not affiliated with Roja Parfums.
Will it feel like food?
Only in part. The pastry accord adds a baked sweetness, but oud, frankincense and the dry woods keep it in perfume territory. Your skin decides how far the dessert side goes.
When should I test it?
Cool evenings and cold days, when warmth and smoke feel natural. Try one light application by day as well, if you want to see how it behaves there.
The brand
About Roja Parfums
Roja Parfums was founded in Mayfair, London, in 2011 by Roja Dove and calls itself a house of haute perfumery. The formulas are long: a single pyramid can run to twenty or thirty notes, from citrus and lavender through roses and jasmine to tobacco, resins and oud. Most perfumes exist as an Eau de Parfum and as a Parfum. Compositions this layered unfold slowly and differently on each skin, so a 10 ml decant worn over several days is the fair test.

- Fragrances made in England, according to the house
- Collections such as Elysium, Aoud, Isola, Art, Prestige and Apex

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
