The story behind the bottle.
Orange Aoud by Montale, launched in 2014 and crafted by Pierre Montale, is a harmonious blend of unexpected contrasts. The fragrance opens with the bright citrusy zest of bergamot and saffron, creating an immediate freshness that gives way to the deep, woody warmth of agarwood (oud) and patchouli. A subtle layer of violet and rose adds floral complexity, while leather and oakmoss lend a rugged, earthy edge. The base notes of white musk and sandalwood ground the composition with a rich, enveloping warmth.
Apply one to two sprays for a balanced effect. The citrusy opening is bright but fades within an hour, so it's best used in the morning or early afternoon. The woody and leathery base notes develop slowly over time, making this fragrance perfect for daytime wear.
