“An interpretation of the traditional Oriental style in which Aoud is often presented is transformed into an utterly contemporary Chyprè accord. This composition is formed around a central duet of Musk and Aoud, where a delicate note of Rose de Mai is made dry and natural by an abundance of woods and mosses. A rich and sensual base of Tonka Bean and Ambrette fused with leather-like Labdanum heightens the aphrodisiacal nature of one of perfumery’s most legendary materials - Musk. Totally unexpected and yet utterly compulsive, Musk Aoud pays homage to tradition whilst creating its own distinct path forward.” - Roja Dove

“Musk, and costly musk-like Ambrette, mingle with Oakmoss, Labdanum, Leather, leather-like Birch, and earthy Patchouli to create a sensual and exotic effect which is softened with a blend of Vanilla and Tonka Bean, warmed with Aoud, Sandal, and other precious Wood Notes, with hints of Ylang Ylang, Rose, and Jasmine which add an unexpected touch of sweetness, the whole enlivened with Bergamot, Lemon, and Nutmeg.” - Roja Dove
