Montale Oudrising is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Oudrising opens with Leather, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Montale's Oudrising carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a bit of a Montale curveball; less beast-mode, more subtle sophistication. While some rave about its natural feel and versatility, others are left wanting more of that signature Montale punch and longevity. Definitely polarising.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Despite being a Montale, many reviewers find Oudrising more wearable and less 'beast mode,' making it suitable for a wider range of occasions. The sophisticated leather and oud notes lean it towards evening and cooler weather, but its 'airy' and 'mass-pleasing' qualities allow for daytime wear, though its projection might be too much for a formal office setting if over-sprayed.

About

Oudrising kicks off with a vibrant burst of bergamot and grapefruit, swiftly introducing a nuanced, supple leather that's far from industrial. As it settles, smoky oud and woody notes emerge, softened by a hint of vanilla and the warm embrace of amber and tobacco in the drydown. It's a complex dance of bright freshness and deep, rich undertones, with a persistent leathery core.
