About This Perfume
Montale Aoud Cuir d’Arabie smells like smoky leather gloves over saffron oud resin. It opens with leather, Oud and bergamot, moves into clove, rose and vetiver and settles on amber, cistus and musk. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2006.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, 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 leather forward and signature for nights out.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong leathery notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike animal fragrances.
Around $82.
