Oajan
Oajan opens with bergamot and pink pepper alongside nutmeg, the spice note giving the citrus a warmth that deepens as the composition develops. Rose arrives in the heart with leather, a combination that Parfums de Marly handles with unusual skill: the rose prevents the leather from becoming harsh, and the leather prevents the rose from becoming soft. Oud in the base gives the leather-rose accord a depth that amber and sandalwood then extend into one of the house's darker drydowns. A masculine composition that rewards patience.
Why We Carry This
The rose-leather combination in Oajan is Parfums de Marly's most sophisticated structural choice in this part of their range: each material keeps the other in proportion, and the oud base gives the accord a depth that the nutmeg-pepper opening earns. A well-built masculine with genuine longevity.
