About This Perfume
Montale Aoud Collection - Golden Aoud smells like smoky oud and leathery saffron, spiced woods. It opens with patchouli, Bourbon geranium and Bulgarian rose, moves into leather and pimento and settles on Oud, saffron and teakwood. It reads unisex.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2008.
In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something spicy and confident for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $85.
