The story behind the bottle.
White Aoud by Montale was launched in 2006 and crafted by Pierre Montale. This fragrance combines the warmth of spicy accords with the rich depth of oud, creating a composition that is both elegant and captivating. The heart of White Aoud features rose and woody notes, while vanilla and amber add a powdery, aromatic finish. Pierre Montale's experience in crafting perfumes for nobility in Saudi Arabia is evident here, as he brings an opulent touch to the Western world with this oriental creation.
White Aoud has a strong presence, so one or two sprays are sufficient to make an impact. The fragrance blooms gradually over time, with the base notes becoming more apparent as the day progresses. It pairs well with cooler evenings but can also be worn during the day for a subtle yet sophisticated scent.
