Launched in 2017 by Montale, Intense Black Aoud is crafted by Pierre Montale and combines woody, rose, animalic, warm spicy, patchouli, citrus, musky, and floral accords. The composition opens with a bright burst of citrus before transitioning into the heart of rich rose and warm spices. This is anchored by a deep base of patchouli and musk that adds an earthy, smoky quality. It's a fragrance that balances opulence with restraint, making it suitable for both day and night.

Application Tips
Apply one or two sprays at your pulse points; the citrus opening is bright but fades quickly into the richer heart and base notes. This fragrance works best in cooler weather when its warm spices and musky undertones can truly shine.

The story behind the bottle.
The tension between an office desk at dusk, where the light begins to dim and the scent of musk and rose lingers in the air.
