‘When I was working in the Middle East, I fell in love with the scents there, the way ouds are worn – refined by the scent of bakhoor. The greatest compliment for me is when my customers from the Middle East ask: “How do you know our scents so well?”’ Roja Dove
Sensual, exotic and mysterious – these are the attributes one would associate with an excellently crafted oud fragrance, and Aoud by Dove certainly deserves them: it is lush, exuberant and opulent, an oriental fragrance that truly lives up to its name. Delicious oud, liqueur-like and gourmand, rich, colourful, diverse and radiant. Hesperides outshine the heart and provide balance, while oud captivates in combination with blossoms. The base notes are kissed by saffron, precious woods and velvety sweetness, temptingly spiced with cinnamon.
Roja Dove's Aoud collection is exquisite, unique and masterfully composed – a fitting tribute to this precious essence.
Crystal Parfums
The Crystal Parfums are the equivalent of the Aoud Parfums, but differ from them in their production: they are made using a special, complicated method to create almost colourless fragrance oils. The colour of the fragrance oil depends, for example, on the duration of the distillation. To create almost colourless oils, molecular distillation is used, in which the already distilled fragrance oil is distilled again under lower pressure and at a lower temperature. This ensures that no intermolecular interaction takes place, so that the dark colour elements can be removed without altering the scent – a technically highly sophisticated method.
Aoud Collection
‘With my oud creations, I have captured the mysterious, exotic character of the Middle East. They are powerful, exotic and complex fragrances with unparalleled luxury – the secret pleasures that everyone desires.’ Roja Dove
Perfume & Packaging – The Quintessence of Luxury
To emphasise the luxury and value of its products, Dove attaches great importance to quality and sophistication in the packaging of its precious Roja perfumes. Dove personally selects each element of the packaging, combining the infinitely simple with the infinitely precious to create exactly what luxury should be: true craftsmanship.
Considerable skill is required to produce and hand-finish the Roja Parfums bottles: each bottle is as unique as the fragrance it contains. It is manufactured in France and the pure gold decoration is applied by hand in England in a lengthy process. To create the cap – the leitmotif of the Roja Parfums brand – gold particles are forged into metal to create a highly reflective surface onto which the brand name is printed. The cap is completed with fourteen Swarovski crystals, which are set by hand in a five-day process. The front of each bottle is adorned with gold lettering, which is manufactured in England and applied by hand. Each of these exquisite bottles is nestled in an equally exquisite presentation box, which is handmade in England by award-winning craftsmen using the highest quality papers, some of which are used exclusively for Roja Parfums.
The contrast between the precious matte texture of the paper and the gold embossing is a perfect prelude to the purple-coloured, hand-folded silk that lines the interior. ‘Everything about my brand has to be special, something you can't find anywhere else. That's what luxury is all about, really.’ Roja Dove
