The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2005 by Pierre Montale, Aoud Lime is a Woody Spicy fragrance for both women and men. This composition opens with the bright freshness of lime, which contrasts sharply against the rich, earthy tones of oud and patchouli. The heart adds warmth with rose and powdery notes, while the base rounds out with woody and warm spicy accords, creating a complex interplay between citrus brightness and deep, sensual richness.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure that both the bright top notes and the rich base are present. The lime will fade within an hour, so it's best applied close to when you need its freshness most. This fragrance performs well in cooler weather but can also be enjoyed year-round depending on your preference.
