Fruits of Aoud

Fruits of Aoud smells like a decadent blend of sweet red berries and smoky agarwood. It opens with tart bergamot, grapefruit, and artemisia before introducing juicy strawberry, raspberry, and black currant. A floral heart of rose, violet, and orange blossom gives way to an opulent base of oud, leather, birch, amber resins, and creamy vanilla.

Community longevity ratings are not yet recorded for this fragrance. There are currently no public wear-time votes logged by the community. However, as an Extrait de Parfum enriched with heavy base materials like agarwood, leather, olibanum, and cedar, it is formulated to stay present on skin longer than standard eau de parfum concentrations.

Fruits of Aoud is an inspired interpretation of Roja Parfums Fruity Aoud. It mirrors the original scent profile by combining sparkling citrus and sweet berry accords with natural agarwood, rose, and leather. Compared to Montale Red Aoud, it features significantly more mixed fruit sweetness and less pungent culinary spice.

Fruits of Aoud is formulated as a completely unisex fragrance. The opening and heart feature sweet strawberry, raspberry, and powdery violet that lean gently feminine, while the dry-down is packed with dark oud, birch, patchouli, and rugged leather that add traditional masculine weight. Anyone who appreciates complex oriental blends can comfortably wear it.

Fruits of Aoud shifts from a crisp, fruity sparkle into a warm, smoky woody scent. The opening is dominated by bright grapefruit, bergamot, and sweet berries. Within an hour, powdery florals and orris soften the sweetness. Eventually, the fragrance settles into dark agarwood, smoky birch, labdanum, and rich vanilla that linger for hours.

Fruits of Aoud performs best during the crisp temperatures of autumn and winter. The dense structure of agarwood, gurjan balsam, leather, and warm spices provides comforting warmth in cold air. In high heat and humidity, the sweet berry and heavy resin accords can quickly become overwhelming and cloying.

Fruits of Aoud is best suited for evening gatherings, formal dinners, and date nights. Its rich, dramatic character makes an elegant statement during night outings or special events. It is generally too bold for everyday daytime office wear unless sprayed very sparingly.

There are no community sillage votes recorded for Fruits of Aoud yet. Formal voter data on projection is still missing. However, Extrait de Parfum compositions carrying potent notes like agarwood, birch, and saffron typically create a noticeable scent trail around the wearer rather than staying whisper-quiet close to the skin.

Fruits of Aoud is not recommended as a safe blind buy. While the sweet fruit accords are inviting, the underlying presence of medicinal agarwood, birch, and leather can polarise those unfamiliar with Middle Eastern perfumery. Sampling a smaller decant first ensures the smoky wood and berry combination suits your preferences.

Apply Fruits of Aoud sparingly with one or two sprays on pulse points. Because it is an Extrait de Parfum filled with heavy base notes like oud, olibanum, and guaiac wood, a light application prevents the scent from becoming overpowering. Start with a single spray on the chest or wrists.
