Aoud Lime is early Montale at full strength, from the 2005 wave of aouds that brought Middle Eastern perfumery to Paris long before oud became a designer buzzword. The name undersells it: this is really saffron, black pepper and rose over a boldly medicinal oud that dries into smooth sandalwood and amber. It lasts well past the 10-hour mark and announces itself in a room. A cold-weather statement piece for wearers who've graduated beyond safe blind-buys.
Montale Aoud Lime features precious Aoud from the mountains of Pakistan, refreshed by Indian Roses and Italian Iris, anchored by Amber, Patchouli, and Sandalwood with a hint of Saffron. The light, summery rose blends well with the oud, creating an elegant and mysteriously enjoyable scent that is at once dirty and clean, deep yet approachable.
