Which Should You Buy?
Aoud Leather from Montale is a beast-mode, divisive scent. You'll either love this bold, refined leather with oud and citrus or find it too harsh and synthetic. Definitely sample before committing.
This one's a real love-it-or-hate-it affair, not for the faint-hearted. Montale's Aoud Cuir d’Arabie is a challenging, beastly leather-oud that demands confidence and a thick skin. If you can ride out the barnyard opening, you'll find a dark, compelling drydown.
