The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oud Montaigne by Rabanne was launched in 2024, crafted by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, and it brings together the rich warmth of oud with a distinctive blend of fruity and spicy notes. The composition opens with plum and liquor, creating an intriguing contrast between sweetness and alcohol's sharpness. This leads into a heart of cardamom and cedar, adding layers of warmth and depth. The base is anchored by agarwood (oud) and leather, resulting in a fragrance that is both luxurious and grounding.

How to wear it

Apply Oud Montaigne in moderation — its rich base notes develop slowly on skin. A light spritz to the wrists and neck is sufficient for a long-lasting presence that deepens throughout the day.
