The story behind the bottle.
Moon Aoud by Montale was launched in 2011 and crafted by Pierre Montale, the mastermind behind the brand's signature elegance and intensity. This Oriental Woody fragrance opens with a bold note of Agarwood (Oud), which immediately sets a rich and enigmatic tone. The heart is anchored by rose and saffron, adding warmth and depth, while leather and vetiver lend an earthy, almost animalic touch that grounds the composition in a sensual, tactile experience.
Moon Aoud is best applied sparingly — two sprays are enough to let its complex layers unfold naturally. The base notes take time to bloom fully, so it's perfect for an evening out or as an after-dinner scent that evolves throughout the night.
