Aoud has always held a mythical place in perfumery, but as contemporary fragrance lovers seek new ways to wear classics, a rare reinterpretation has arrived with remarkable presence. Roja Parfums introduces Aoud Extraordinaire, a luminous addition to the Aoud Collection that feels tailor-made for the modern season in Australia. Inspired by Dubai’s radiant luxury, this creation transforms one of perfumery’s most historic materials into something unexpectedly bright, tropical, and gilded.
Aoud Extraordinaire opens with an energy that immediately shifts the traditional perception of oud. Instead of leaning into weight or darkness, the fragrance brings an effervescent interplay of tropical fruits and cooling florals, a refreshing contrast that mirrors sunlit architecture and desert heat shimmering against gold. Roja Parfums amplifies this lightness with Cashmere notes and a soft gourmand glow, creating the impression of warmth diffused across skin, like golden hour settling onto the body. The result is a scent that feels indulgent without heaviness, rooted in tradition yet styled for a contemporary audience.
For collectors, this fragrance offers an invitation to experience oud in a more radiant form. While the DNA of the Aoud Collection remains unmistakable, Aoud Extraordinaire introduces a surprising weightlessness, making it an elegant choice for summer evenings, celebratory gatherings, and occasions where fragrance becomes part of one’s presence. The craftsmanship behind Roja Parfums is evident in the way each note rises and settles, shifting between opulence and luminosity with quiet precision.
Aoud Extraordinaire is priced at AUD $650 for 50ml and AUD $1,250 for 100ml. It is available in Australia through libertineparfumerie.com.au, where fragrance enthusiasts can explore the wider Roja Parfums universe. As readers refine their scent wardrobes for the festive and summer season, this new release offers a compelling way to experience a golden, modern expression of oud.
