About This Perfume
Montale Oud Tobacco comes across as smoky clove tobacco with oud and warm amber. It opens with clove, sumac and black pepper, moves into orange blossom, tobacco and incense and settles on tonka bean, ambergris and musk. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for nights out. Released in 2020.
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 woody and sweet for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $190.
