Montale Crystal Aoud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Pierre Montale. Crystal Aoud opens with Mandarin, Melon, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Musk, Saffron, and Vanilla. Montale's Crystal Aoud carries an Acquired verdict, an oud-led wear.

Crystal Aoud is a real Montale marmite - some love its warm, fresh, fruity take on oud, others get a chemical perm or garbage bin vibe. Give it a whirl if you're feeling brave, just don't say we didn't warn you.

About

Opens with a lively, juicy burst of crisp apple, sweet melon, and bright mandarin, before sliding into a warm, woody heart dominated by Montale's signature oud. This isn't a deep, dark oud, but a cleaner, somewhat synthetic take, balanced by creamy vanilla and a hint of spicy saffron in the drydown. It's a sweet, musky skin scent that retains a touch of freshness throughout.
