Montale Oud Tobacco is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Oud Tobacco opens with Citrus, Cumin, and Sumac, settles into a heart of Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean. Montale's Oud Tobacco carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper Montale - strong and polarising. Expect a sweet, fruity-spicy wallop that some will adore and others will find overwhelming. Don't go in expecting prominent oud or traditional tobacco; this is a beast all its own.

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.

Casual Formal

Its beastly performance and loud, sweet profile make it unsuitable for professional settings. It excels in date nights and social events where its strong projection and unique character can truly shine.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a vibrant, almost candy-like burst of citrus and sweet sumac, underscored by a hint of spicy cumin. As it settles, a smooth, creamy sweetness of tonka bean emerges, blending with a subtle, almost cherry-like tobacco. Hints of amber and a faint, non-barnyard oud linger in the deeply sweet, almost gourmand dry down, making for a potent and distinctive aroma.
