Welcome back to Beautyistic, where we bring you the inside scoop on the best beauty products, one review at a time. Today, we’re diving into something a little different—a luxurious fragrance from the prestigious Roja London brand: Aoud Extraordinaire Parfum.
Now, I know we don’t always talk about perfumes, but when you’re looking for something that truly stands out, you have to approach it with the same attention to detail we give to any other beauty product. Let’s take a closer look at this eau de parfum and see if it deserves a spot in your fragrance collection.
Roja London is renowned for creating exquisite, high-end fragrances, and Aoud Extraordinaire is no exception. This 50ml bottle promises to deliver a sophisticated, floral, fruity, and woody scent. It’s an eau de parfum, meaning you can expect a more concentrated, long-lasting fragrance compared to an eau de toilette.
The first thing that struck me when using this perfume is how it’s not just one note. It’s an evolving fragrance that seems to unfold over time. The floral and fruity notes come through first, giving you that fresh, bright vibe, but as the scent settles, the warmth of the woody notes comes forward, adding a rich, grounding depth. This transition from floral and fruity to woody is what makes it feel so luxurious—almost like it tells a story as it wears on your skin.
In terms of longevity, it performs impressively. I wore it throughout the day, and I could still catch the scent hours later, especially those woody undertones, which stayed close to my skin. This is definitely a fragrance that has staying power, making it worth the investment if you’re someone who likes their scent to linger without having to reapply.
But let’s talk about the real-world experience. When I first applied Aoud Extraordinaire, I noticed how smooth the application was. The mist from the spray bottle is fine and distributes the fragrance evenly, which makes it a pleasure to use. If you’re someone who’s particular about their fragrances, this is a scent that can easily transition from day to night—thanks to that balance between floral brightness and woody warmth.
Now, when it comes to pros, this fragrance is a standout in terms of quality and sophistication. The scent itself is unique; it’s not a generic, mass-market perfume that you’d smell on everyone. It’s bold and confident without being overwhelming. The bottle feels heavy and luxurious, reflecting the premium nature of the product.
However, on the flip side, the price is something to consider. Aoud Extraordinaire is definitely positioned at the higher end of the fragrance spectrum, and while you’re getting a high-quality product, not everyone may feel comfortable splurging on a luxury perfume. Additionally, this is not a fragrance for everyone—it’s bold, and it has that signature oud note that can be polarizing.
In terms of value for money, you’re paying for quality here, and if you’re a fan of niche, luxury perfumes, it’s worth considering. But for those who don’t mind a less expensive alternative, there are options that offer a similar vibe without the premium price tag.
Now, I won’t compare it to budget options because when you’re buying a Roja London fragrance, you’re not just buying a scent—you’re buying an experience. But if you’re after something in a similar range, other high-end perfume houses might offer fragrances with a similar balance of florals and woods.
The build quality is exceptional. The bottle feels like a work of art, and that alone is a piece of luxury you’ll be proud to have on your vanity. There’s a weight to it, and the sprayer mechanism works flawlessly, which makes the application a pleasant ritual.
I haven’t had direct interaction with Roja London’s customer service, but given the brand’s reputation, you can expect solid support if you have any inquiries.
In the end, Aoud Extraordinaire is a fragrance that speaks to those who enjoy complexity and sophistication in their scents. It’s ideal for evening wear or any occasion where you want to make a statement. It’s a scent that feels like it could tell a story—a beautiful, bold story—about who you are.
