The story behind the bottle.
Nepal Aoud by Montale was launched in 2014 and crafted by Pierre Montale, bringing together the rich traditions of his time spent in Saudi Arabia with a Western sensibility. This Oriental Woody fragrance opens with fresh spicy notes of saffron and nutmeg, leading to a heart of Bulgarian rose that adds depth and warmth. The base features leather and oud, creating an animalic and powdery finish that is both complex and captivating.
Apply Nepal Aoud sparingly to let the layers unfold gradually. The fresh spicy top notes dissipate quickly, so it's the rich base of oud and leather that will linger throughout the day. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than diffused in a room.
