Montale Aoud Damascus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Pierre Montale. Aoud Damascus settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Balsam, Oud, and Frankincense. Montale's Aoud Damascus carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This isn't just another rose oud, it's a divisive conversation starter. Some find it a regal, balanced Arabian dream, while others are scrubbing off 'bathroom comparisons' and 'stale rose water'. It's bold, it's persistent, and it definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea.

Given its strong projection and excellent longevity, Aoud Damascus might be a bit much for the office unless applied very sparingly. Its rich, opulent rose and oud accords make it exceptional for formal events and romantic dates, but it's likely too intense for casual daywear or sporty activities.

About

Aoud Damascus pulls you in with an intense, almost medicinal oud, quickly softened by a rich, dark rose. Hints of fresh spice and amber weave through, preventing the rose from becoming overtly sweet or cloying. The woody base, featuring that persistent oud, gives it an almost leather-like depth, creating a full-bodied, enveloping aroma that lingers for hours. It’s an intricate dance between floral sweetness and austere wood, with an underlying balsamic warmth.
