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 Solar Note, Black Leather, Floral, and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Tobacco. Montale's Oud Island carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-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.

About

Oud Island bursts open with a vibrant, non-sweet citrus medley of bergamot, lemon, and prominent tangerine. This bright start quickly warms into a heart of smooth black leather and soft, woody sandalwood, uplifted by subtle floral hints. The journey concludes with a creamy, lightly smoky base of vanilla, tobacco, and amber, grounding the initial freshness with a refined depth. The 'oud' remains more of a gentle woody whisper.
