The story behind the bottle.
Red Aoud by Montale was launched in 2008 and crafted by Pierre Montale, the mastermind behind this house known for its bold and luxurious fragrances. This composition opens with a warm spicy accord, featuring notes of pepper and cumin, creating an initial burst of energy and heat. The heart of Red Aoud is anchored by oud and rose, which bring a rich and sensual depth to the fragrance, while orris root adds a powdery softness that tempers the intensity. Sandalwood and vetiver in the base notes ground the composition with earthy warmth, making it a scent that evolves gracefully throughout the day.
Apply Red Aoud in light layers, as the warm spicy top notes can be intense. Allow it to develop on your skin for about 30 minutes before reapplying if needed. The scent is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than diffused across a room.
