Ahlam

Ahlam is a 2018 women's oriental from Roja Dove built on a dense floral heart of Rose de Mai, violet, ylang-ylang, jasmine and geranium. Because no top notes are recorded, the composition opens close to that bouquet rather than through a bright overture, so expect the rose and violet to arrive almost immediately. The base is unusually crowded: agarwood, ambergris, sandalwood, orris, almond, vanilla, musk, patchouli, saffron, rhubarb and powdery notes all sit underneath. In practice the powdery accord dominates, with rose and oud close behind, giving a soft, cosmetic texture over a woody-resinous floor.

This suits collectors who want a rose-oud oriental with restraint rather than smoke or barnyard aggression; the almond, vanilla and orris round the oud into something velvety. It reads as formal or evening wear, and performs best in cool weather. Those who dislike powder-forward perfumes should sample first, since the powdery character is the defining accord here. Rhubarb and saffron add a faint tart-spice edge to keep the sweetness from flattening.

Ahlam 係 Roja Dove 2018 年推出嘅女性東方調，香調以玫瑰、紫羅蘭、依蘭、茉莉同天竺葵組成嘅濃密花香核心為主。由於無記錄前調，開場幾乎直接進入花束，玫瑰同紫羅蘭好快就出現。基調非常複雜：沉香、龍涎香、檀香、鳶尾、杏仁、雲呢拿、麝香、廣藿香、藏紅花、大黃同粉香並存，實際以粉感最突出，玫瑰同沉香緊隨其後，喺木質樹脂底上形成柔軟嘅化妝品質感。

呢支適合想要克制型玫瑰沉香、唔追求煙燻或濃烈動物感嘅收藏者；杏仁、雲呢拿同鳶尾令沉香變得天鵝絨般圓潤。氣質偏正式、晚間，涼爽天氣表現最好。唔鍾意粉感主導香水嘅人建議先試香。大黃同藏紅花帶來輕微酸澀辛香，避免甜味變得平板。
