The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006 by Montale, Steam Aoud (Aoud Hoggar Mota) is a creation from Pierre Montale that embodies the brand's signature oriental charm. The fragrance opens with a fresh spicy accord, leading into a heart of aromatic and sweet notes before settling on an intense base of oud and amber. This composition captures the essence of luxurious Eastern scents, blending modernity with traditional materials to create a distinctive olfactory experience.
Apply Steam Aoud (Aoud Hoggar Mota) in light sprays to allow its complex layers to unfold gradually. The spicy opening is brief but impactful, giving way to the deep, enveloping base notes that last throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in a wide sillage.
