Two 'Aoud' Scents from MONTALE

MONTALE

MONTALE 2009 NEW YEAR
A New Year Begins with Two "Aoud" Scents

Founded in 2002, MONTALE is a Parisian perfume house. The brand, known for its elegant fragrances based on rare ouds from around the world – dubbed "diamonds of fragrance" – has now introduced two new additions.

Black is "Royal Aoud," Gold is "White Aoud"

ROYAL AOUD, presented in a black aluminum bottle, offers a scent that is somewhat shadowed, decadent, and dark.
A tar-like leather and dry resinous oud are brightened by the tartness of kumquat and the bittersweetness of grapefruit.
Warmed by body heat, powerful Indian spices create a captivating, warm aroma that unifies the entire composition.

The reason for its mysterious, almost spellbinding scent lies in the fragrance of "Andira inermis," a mythical tree said to possess narcotic properties.

On men, it imparts a shadowy, sexy impression;
on women, it creates a dangerously sophisticated aura.
A single fragrance, upon meeting another, ignites an unexpected chemical reaction.

Wrapped in passion and mystery, ROYAL AOUD is undoubtedly one of MONTALE's masterpieces.

WHITE AOUD, in its gold aluminum bottle, is an elegant fragrance that evokes a sophisticated "adult white," smooth as fine silk.

Based on Arabian oud, it lavishly uses precious Indian saffron and Damask rose. Sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli form the core, adding a soft, powdery touch to the exotic and elegant oud.

The finest amber and a hint of vanilla provide a unique accent, creating a refined and sophisticated scent where the strength of oud meets gentle elegance.

New Releases Perfect for Valentine's Day

MONTALE's new release for Valentine's Day is "CHOCOLATE GREEDY."
Its scent is a fusion of sophisticated dark chocolate and cream. The first notes are as delectable as opening a box of chocolates, with a meltingly creamy and rich ganache aroma.
The middle notes evoke the taste of truffles dusted with the finest cocoa powder, with a subtle hint of bitter orange.
Gradually, the sweet chocolate scent melds with the skin, transforming into an elegant fragrance.
The base notes envelop the chocolate lover in a gentle, sensual embrace.
