Aoud Crystal Parfum

Aoud Crystal Parfum, composed by Roja Dove in 2010, opens with a bright trio of lemon verbena, lemon and bergamot before settling into a dense floral heart of May rose, geranium, ylang-ylang and jasmine. The rose is the defining accord here, and it is not a shy one: it sits forward and stays forward, framed by the citrus lift of the top. Beneath it, agarwood, ambergris and leather give the composition its weight, while saffron, cashmere wood, cedar, musk, rhubarb, sandalwood, patchouli, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla build a long, spiced base that reads oriental-spicy rather than sweet.

Collectors should expect a rose-oud parfum in the classic Roja mould: rich, layered and slow to develop, with the oud and spice emerging well after the opening. It suits wearers who want a statement rose for evening, cool weather or formal occasions, and who value a full, resinous base over airy freshness. Those seeking a light daytime rose will find this too dense; those hunting a discontinued rose-oud with real depth will recognise the profile immediately.

Aoud Crystal Parfum 由 Roja Dove 於 2010 年調配，屬東方辛辣家族。前調以檸檬馬鞭草、檸檬與佛手柑帶出明亮酸香，隨即過渡到五月玫瑰、天竺葵、依蘭與茉莉組成的濃密花香核心；玫瑰是最鮮明的主調，久久不散。基調以沉香、龍涎香與皮革撐起厚度，再以番紅花、喀什米爾木、雪松、麝香、大黃、檀香、廣藿香、肉豆蔻、肉桂與香草鋪成長而帶辛香的尾韻。

整體氣質濃郁、層次分明，沉香與香料在開場之後才慢慢浮現，並非輕盈日用的玫瑰。適合喜歡玫瑰沉香、追求存在感與樹脂厚度的人，於晚間、秋冬或正式場合使用最為合襯；若想要清爽淡雅的玫瑰，這支會顯得過於厚重。
