Montblanc Star Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Gaël Montero. Star Oud opens with Cardamom, settles into a heart of Oud and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Woody, Amber, and Sandalwood. Montblanc's Star Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast - you'll either adore its bold, smoky aura or find it utterly repulsive. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser, but if you're into edgy, challenging oud, this might just be your next obsession.

About

Star Oud bursts forth with an intense, warm spicy hit of cardamom and cinnamon, quickly followed by the rich, resinous depth of amber and a distinctly woody oud. As it settles, a smooth, creamy sandalwood emerges, grounding the challenging initial blast into a sophisticated, lingering warmth. It's unapologetically bold, with a complex, exotic character.
