🖤 The Dark Glow of Musk and Oud

Few perfumes embody opulence and restraint at once like Musk Aoud.
Roja Dove imagined a world where animalic sensuality meets sacred wood, fusing creamy musks and soft leather with rose, jasmine, and golden resins.
It’s elegant excess — oud without aggression, luxury without noise.

A paradox made perfume: luminous darkness.

🔬 GCMS & Formula Highlights:

🌲 Oud illusion without the weight
Built around Cypriol oil, birch tar, sandalwood oriental, and Norlimbanol, this accord simulates the resinous, leathery character of oud — smooth, dry, and smoky.

💎 Musk architecture
A triad of Ambrettolide HC Supreme, Ethylene Brassylate, and Muscenone forms the clean, diffusive musk base — a velvet texture that never turns animalic.

🌹 Floral opulence
Hints of jasmine absolute, rose oxide, and ylang-ylang bring a perfumed softness that rounds out the woody intensity. The floral heart prevents the oud from becoming harsh.

🍯 Amber and gourmand warmth
Vanillin, Tonka absolute, Ethyl maltol, and Cinnamic alcohol melt into Evernyl and Cinnamyl acetate, producing a golden, resinous sweetness that reads as honeyed leather.

🍋 Bright contrast
Tiny touches of bergamot, lemon, orange, and nutmeg flash at the opening — a brief spark before the dusk settles.

💫 The Result

Musk Aoud is sumptuous, deep, and meditative — a fragrance of shadows and light.
It moves like dark silk: smooth, weighty, but with radiant edges.

✅ Oud illusion through complexity, not excess
✅ Powdery musks and creamy sandalwood core
✅ Amber-leather depth with floral radiance
✅ Intimate yet powerful, unisex and timeless

A perfume of nocturnal elegance — the scent of black velvet, candlelight, and skin still warm from incense.
