The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Spicy Aoud by Montale is a bold Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men, created by Pierre Montale in 2016. The composition opens with vibrant citrus notes that give way to the rich warmth of oud and patchouli, creating an intriguing contrast between freshness and depth. The metallic accents add a modern edge, while musky undertones provide a grounding base, making it both contemporary and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply Spicy Aoud to pulse points for a lasting impression. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it to settle before heading out. Its warm base notes will slowly emerge over time, making it perfect for evening engagements.
