CANDY AOUD ROJA DOVE + Z14 HALSTON

Candy Aoud (Roja Dove) / Monsieur Dupe

Launch Year: 2015
Concentration: EDP
Olfactive Family: Oriental Vanilla
Perfumer: Roja Dove

Candy Aoud is not a typical oud—this is oud glazed with velvet and spun sugar, where cashmeran, ambrettolide, and vanillin create a radiant gourmand shell around a polished woody core. Aoud becomes elegant, luminous, and magnetic.

From the start, the blend opens with an airy citrus lift (Agrumex, ISO E Super, Hedione) softened by creamy ambroxan and sandal-like notes (Polysantol, Javanol, Sandranol). A rich heart of cypriol, fir balsam, and castoreum introduces the oud theme—never harsh, always textural.

The sweetness is abstract. There’s no overdose of ethyl maltol, only vanillin, benzylacetone, and hints of ethyl methyl butyrate for a toffee-warm glow. The leather and incense notes—Leather Oud, labdanum, olibanum, birch tar—remain smooth and well-integrated.

This is not excess—it’s architecture: every richness is diffused, every shadow is warmed. Aoud for the modern skin.

Halston Z14 – Halston / Archives Gilbert Bendoni

Launch Year: 1974
Concentration: EDT
Olfactive Family: Leather
Perfumer: Vincent Marcello & Max Gavarry

A bold masculine icon of the 70s, Halston Z14 captures the essence of leather, citrus, and herbs with masterful clarity. Built on a base of patchouli, vertofix, and isobutylquinoleine, this fragrance exudes a rugged elegance, softened by warm amber woods and an animalic touch of castoreum and costus.

The top explodes with bergamot, lemon, and orange oils, accented by Lemarome and mandarin, giving way to a complex herbal heart — rosemary, armoise, tarragon, sage, and lavandin — before settling into a drydown that feels both classic and arrestingly modern.

This is American power scenting at its finest: assertive, aromatic, seductive — and now decoded.
