Sweetie Aoud – Roja Dove

A Decadent Gourmand-Oud Treat Wrapped in Pastry, Spice, and Resinous Luxury

Released in 2015, Sweetie Aoud by Roja Dove belongs to the Tutti Frutti Aoud collection. It stands out as a bold, sweet gourmand-oud hybrid. Think warm bakery pâtisserie meets rich woods, resinous incense, and spicy undertones. Designed for those who love their scents lush, opulent, and with distinct personality.

Performance & Scent Profile

• Opening: A sweet, patisserie-like rush. Bergamot gives a bright freshness, while Artemisia adds a slightly herbal bitterness that cuts through the sugar. Many describe it as "walking into a bakery" with warm pastry aromas.

• Heart: Rich gourmand (the “bakery” accord) blended with rose and cistus incense. This combination gives a creamy, warm sweetness that’s indulgent but also layered.

• Dry Down: Woody, resinous, smoky with oud, spices (cardamom and cumin), and labdanum. The gourmand-sweetness softens, and the base comes forward with deeper woods, incense, and a touch of oud. It becomes more mature, less overtly sweet.

Community Impressions:

• Frequently praised as “next-level gourmand” with high sweetness, but also rich depth.

• Some say it’s almost dessert-like, but balanced so that it doesn’t feel too cloying.

• Good longevity and noticeable presence, though performance can vary depending on batch or climate.

When & Where to Wear

• Seasons: Fall, Winter, Cooler Evenings

• Occasions: Luxurious dinner setting, special occasions, nights out, when wanting a statement scent with warmth and decadence

Why You’ll Love It
