Which Should You Buy?
No.598 leans hard into Montale's dense oud-and-musk signature, opening on golden saffron before a singular vetiver heart and a heavy oud-amber-musk base, delivering the brand's trademark oud intensity if slightly less refined than the niche original.
Aoud Heritage delivers a bold statement with its rich oud and sophisticated blend, best worn for special occasions.

Seasons
Aoud Heritage's rich and warm notes make it best suited for colder months like fall and winter, while its complexity can be appreciated in the mild spring but may overpower in the summer.
Occasions
Its strong projection and aromatic profile make it more suitable for evening events or date nights, with a versatility that allows for both casual and formal settings. However, it's too intense for sports or highly active scenarios.
