Orange Aoud

by Pierre Montale

Montale Orange Aoud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Pierre Montale. Orange Aoud settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Musk. Montale's Orange Aoud carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This one's a Montale with a genuine identity crisis, and fair play for it. It calls itself 'Orange Aoud' but serves up a surprising blend of leather and florals, leaving most searching for the citrus and titular oud. Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably persistent - expect a Marmite-like reception.

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, typical of Montale, mean it's best kept for situations where you want to make a statement. The sophisticated leather and floral accords lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, but it could be too overpowering for a typical office environment.

About

Opening with a jolt, you're hit with a leathery punch that quickly mellows into a surprisingly smooth, almost powdery, affair. Rose and violet intertwine, adding a soft, floral counterpoint before patchouli and a creamy sandalwood bring an earthy depth. The supposed 'orange' is elusive, often replaced by a clean, musky finish some describe as ‘new leather shoes with extra sweetness’.
