Aoud Safran by Montale was launched in 2009 and was crafted by Pierre Montale, who imbued this fragrance with a distinctive blend of oud and warm spices. The composition opens with the rich earthiness of oud, which is balanced by the delicate sweetness of rose. As it evolves, metallic notes and leather introduce an unexpected depth, while tobacco adds warmth. This complex interplay creates a scent that feels both ancient and modern.

Application Tips
Apply a single spray to each wrist and let it sit for a few moments. The metallic notes are subtle but distinct, so avoid layering with other fragrances that might overpower them. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the warm tobacco scent of the beans meets the metallic sheen of the machine.
