This perfume is not for the weak but if you're sophisticated and consider yourself a fan of Oriental scents from the Dubai to Mumbai Amber Aoud might be for you. Amber Aoud by Roja is a cult classic. It is a kitchen sink fragrance with 15+ notes...Wow. You would think 15+ ingredients equals a mess but not if its Roja. Somehow this works but you must survive the opening as Amber Aoud starts off firing on all cylinders with the Oud , Saffron, Patchouli, Rose and Citrus. It is very dry but peacefulland powdery. It is very potent but when it dries down things change dramatically. Trust me, its all good tho! In part 2 of this unfolding you get some fig, ambergris and Orris butter. NICE!!! Very Nice. I wanted to hate this but i couldn't. Next you get Cinnamon, Civet, oakmoss. It now appears Amber Aoud is creamy and moist. Its not to sweet but the florals come into play which makes this more tame. The great thing about Amber Aoud is that it is a great blind buy for those who want to try Oud scents. It is a great introduction to other Oud-Oriental scents. This is a monster projection, sillage and performance monster so apply liberally at first. But if you like pomposity like Misk Shoppe and Roja just dump the whole bottle on your head...Just Kidding.! Really, you will like this Misk Shoppe interpretation. This reminds me of a Misk Shoppe OG classic: called 'Sensual Oudh'.
