The story behind the bottle.
Aoud Musk by Montale was launched in 2010, crafted by Pierre Montale to evoke the warmth and depth of oud combined with musky richness. The composition opens with a bold, earthy oud that immediately commands attention before settling into a warm, spicy heart punctuated by powdery notes. As it evolves, metallic undertones add an intriguing edge to the overall scent, creating a complex interplay between the woody and spicy accords.
Apply Aoud Musk to pulse points for a lasting effect; its metallic notes make it more noticeable close to skin than from a distance. It pairs well with layered clothing, allowing the fragrance to slowly unfold throughout the day.
