The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2008 by Pierre Montale, Aoud Collection Golden Aoud is a fragrance that marries the luxurious richness of oud with the warmth and complexity of spicy accords. The composition opens with rose and geranium before settling into a heart of patchouli and leather, creating an unexpected balance between floral sweetness and earthy depth. This unisex EDP continues to evolve through notes of chili pepper, saffron, teak wood, and cedar, resulting in a warm and enveloping scent that is both intriguing and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points, as this fragrance develops slowly and fully blooms after an hour. The spicy top notes dissipate quickly, making the warm base notes more prominent over time.
