Montale 2023 EDP
Oud Island
Montale Oud Island is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Pierre Montale. Oud Island opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Leather, Floral Notes, Sandalwood, and Oud, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Tobacco. Montale's Oud Island carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't your typical oud adventure. It's a surprising citrus-leather concoction, fresh yet substantial, with Montale's signature beastly performance. It's polarising, but if it clicks, it really clicks.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
While its freshness makes it surprisingly versatile, the strong projection and unique leather-tobacco drydown mean it's better suited for evenings out or casual wear rather than a quiet office. It's an excellent choice for a date, offering a unique and memorable profile.
