Montale Wild Aoud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Pierre Montale. Wild Aoud opens with Bergamot and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Geranium and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oud, Patchouli, and Teak. Montale's Wild Aoud carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive Montale; folks either adore its fresh, earthy complexity or find it utterly underwhelming. Don't let the name fool you into expecting a monster oud-it's far more nuanced, if a touch inconsistent in performance for some.

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.

Its blend of fresh spicy and woody accords, with moderate projection and good longevity, makes it versatile enough for most settings. It's too distinctive for a high-intensity office role, but perfectly suited for dates or smart casual outings where its character can 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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Wild Aoud opens with a brisk, almost medicinal freshness of bergamot and artemisia, quickly met by a vibrant geranium. This briskness then leads into a deep, earthy heart where teak wood and a subdued oud blend with the smoky warmth of tobacco and the rich, slightly sweet depth of amber and patchouli, creating a complex, evolving scent profile.
