A Feast in a Bottle
Parfums de Marly has a reputation for bold, opulent fragrances, and Oajan is one of its crown jewels. This is not just another sweet scent; it is an indulgent, spiced gourmand that feels regal and addictive all at once.
First Spray: Honey Drenched and Irresistible
The opening of Oajan is like a decadent dessert fresh out of the oven. Thick golden honey pours over warm cinnamon and spice, instantly wrapping you in richness. It is sweet but never cheap, elegant yet delicious, like stepping into a glowing winter banquet hall.
The Magic Middle: Smoke and Velvet
As the fragrance settles, the story deepens. Labdanum brings a smoky, resinous glow, while tonka bean adds creamy smoothness. Then tobacco slips in, not harsh or raw, but like the sweet curl of pipe smoke. This mix of honey, tobacco, and spice feels plush, addictive, and surprisingly sophisticated.
Hours Later: Amber That Glows on Skin
The dry down is pure comfort. Vanilla and amber melt together into a creamy, glowing base, with musk lifting it just enough to keep it elegant. It clings to skin and fabric like a cashmere scarf, radiating warmth well into the next day. Longevity is excellent, and the scent trail is generous without being overwhelming.
Who Should Wear Oajan?
This is a fragrance built for autumn and winter nights. Think roaring fireplaces, festive dinners, or crisp walks under city lights. Oajan is not shy; it is confident, magnetic, and made for someone who loves leaving an impression.

Scent Siblings: Where Oajan Fits In
Fans of Parfums de Marly Herod will notice a family resemblance, though Oajan is sweeter and more honey-driven, while Herod leans smokier and spicier. Compared with Xerjoff Naxos, Oajan is more indulgent and resinous, trading citrus brightness for golden richness. It is the gourmand of the bunch, and proudly so.
Final Word
Oajan is Parfums de Marly at its most indulgent, blending honey, tobacco, spice, and amber into a fragrance that feels both comforting and commanding. It is a gourmand masterpiece for those who want sweetness wrapped in sophistication, a scent that turns cold nights into velvet.
