Montale Aoud Legend is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Aoud Legend opens with Leather, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Labdanum, and Ambergris. Montale's Aoud Legend carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive beast, not for the faint of heart unless you're one of the few who thinks it's a 'light' oud. Most folk are getting a powerful, leathery rose, with serious staying power. Montale are not shy, and 'Aoud Legend' lives up to the name for many.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and bold character, Aoud Legend is best reserved for formal events or date nights where it can truly shine without overpowering. It's too assertive for casual wear and definitely not suitable for a typical office environment or sports activities.

About

Aoud Legend charges out the gate with a full-bodied leather, before a blooming rose joins forces with the earthy, green notes of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli. It mellows into a deep, mossy base, warmed by labdanum and the grey, salty nuances of ambergris. This is a rich, complex scent, woody and animalic, with an underlying balsamic warmth.
