The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oud Fool Roses by Montale, launched in 2024 and crafted by Pierre Montale, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that balances the rich warmth of oud with the delicate freshness of rose. The composition opens with a vibrant burst of tangerine and Taif rose, creating an immediate sense of brightness and vibrancy. As it settles into its base notes of musk, labdanum, and amber, Oud Fool Roses evolves into a warm, enveloping scent that feels both luxurious and intimate.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The tangerine and rose top notes are bright but fleeting, so you may need a light touch-up in the afternoon as the musky base comes into its own. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than across a room.
