The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Wild Aoud by Montale was launched in 2009, crafted by Pierre Montale, who brought his distinctive experiences from the Arabian Peninsula to Paris. This fragrance blends fresh spicy and aromatic notes with rich oud, tobacco, and patchouli, creating a composition that is both bold and refined. The citrus opening gives way to a heart of herbal and woody accords, grounding the scent in earthy depth while maintaining an invigorating freshness.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly — one or two sprays are enough for it to unfold fully. The citrus notes fade quickly, giving way to the deep base notes that linger throughout the day.
