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 an Acquired verdict, a woody-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.

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.
