Launched in 2015 by Pierre Montale, Aoud Lavender is a composition that balances the fresh aromatic quality of lavender with the warm, woody depth of oud. The fragrance opens with bright notes of bergamot and lemon, giving way to a heart of saffron and flowers before settling into a base of patchouli, sandalwood, white musk, and amber. This blend creates an intriguing tension between crisp freshness and enveloping warmth, making it both invigorating and comforting.

Application Tips
Apply Aoud Lavender with a light hand; the citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, while the oud and powdery base notes develop more slowly. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than across a room, where its warmth and depth can be fully appreciated.
