Montale Aoud Lime is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Pierre Montale. Aoud Lime opens with Oud and Saffron, settles into a heart of Rose and Iris, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Montale's Aoud Lime carries an Acquired verdict, a oud-led wear.

This notorious Montale is not for the faint-hearted. It's a polarizing, beast-mode oud-rose with a misleading name, but if you can handle its intensity, you'll be noticed. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it reaction from those around you.

Given its 'atomic bomb' projection and insane longevity, Aoud Lime is far too powerful for an office setting where it would likely annoy colleagues. It suits formal events or dates where making a strong, memorable impression is key, but apply with extreme caution; a single spray is often too much. Its heavy, oriental character makes it unsuitable for casual or sport wear.

About

Aoud Lime assaults the senses with a sharp, medicinal oud and a prominent, often abrasive, rose. Despite its name, citrus notes are elusive, often replaced by a green, almost detergent-like accord in the opening, thanks to saffron and patchouli. As it settles, a dry, woody backbone of sandalwood and amber emerges, softened slightly by a powdery iris, resulting in a rich, Middle Eastern-inspired aroma that demands attention.
