Launched in 2005, Royal Aoud by Montale is a masterpiece crafted by Pierre Montale himself. This Oriental Woody fragrance opens with a burst of citrus and aromatic freshness before diving into the rich depths of oud, rose, and warm spices. The combination creates an intense yet balanced scent that feels both luxurious and intimate. The heart of the composition features a delicate balance between floral notes and spicy warmth, while the base offers a smoky sensuality that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply Royal Aoud to pulse points for a subtle yet enduring presence. The citrus opening is fresh but brief, so the warm spicy base notes will carry the fragrance throughout the day. It pairs well in cooler settings where its rich character can fully bloom.
