Montale Aoud Cuir d’Arabie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Pierre Montale. Aoud Cuir d’Arabie opens with Leather, Bergamot, Oud, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Cistus Incanus, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Montale's Aoud Cuir d’Arabie carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

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.

Date

With its nuclear projection and challenging animalic accords, Aoud Cuir d’Arabie is definitely not office-friendly. It’s too assertive for casual wear and might be overwhelming in formal settings. While some find it sexy for dates, its distinct character makes it a niche choice.

About

Aoud Cuir d’Arabie opens with a fierce, almost shocking blast of raw, animalic oud, quickly followed by the rugged scent of cured leather. Imagine an old, well-worn saddle, perhaps near a smoky bonfire. As it settles, a dry, aromatic tobacco weaves through the leathery oud, adding depth without softening its primal edge. Hints of birch tar amplify the smoky, tar-like nuances, creating a commanding and unapologetic aroma.
