Aoud Melody

by Pierre Montale

Montale Aoud Melody is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Pierre Montale. Aoud Melody settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Musk. Montale's Aoud Melody carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a Montale, alright, but not as you know it. It's divisive from the off, with some finding it a harsh, medicinal mess, while others champion its understated warmth and creamy oud. Give it time, and you might just get hooked, but don't expect the usual Montale beast.

While Montales are known for beastly performance, this one is often described as more understated than its siblings, making it more office-friendly than typical ouds. Its warm, sophisticated profile suits dates and casual wear well, but it might lack the gravitas for truly formal events or the freshness for sport.

About

Aoud Melody opens with an unexpected, almost plastic and medicinal burst, quickly mellowing into a surprisingly delicate blend. The prominent warm spice and subtle oud are smoothed by creamy amber and sandalwood, with a hint of rose and ylang-ylang adding a soft, almost tropical edge. The initial leather note is fleeting, giving way to a more refined, lingering warmth.
