The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Aqua Gold by Montale was launched in 2018 and is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance crafted by Pierre Montale. The composition opens with fresh citruses and lavender, creating an invigorating initial impression that transitions smoothly into the heart notes of orange blossom and jasmine. These floral elements provide warmth and depth before settling into a woody base of cedar, white musk, and leather. This fragrance is neither overtly sweet nor overpowering; instead, it balances freshness with subtle complexity.

How to wear it

Aqua Gold has a moderate sillage that builds over time. Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience throughout the day. The citruses are noticeable in the first hour but give way to the floral and woody notes, which last well into evening.
