An olfactory journey that unfolds in layers

Aoud Leather is more than a perfume: it's a statement of power.

Finally, leather emerges as the absolute protagonist, enveloped in the richness of ambergris and a smoky halo that remains etched in the memory.

The Olfactory Art of Pierre Montale

Pierre Montale's signature is unmistakable: a master who has made oud and leather symbols of intensity and luxury in niche perfumery. With Oud Leather, he achieves a magnetic composition that balances the wild and the refined, capturing the essence of an untamed yet elegant character.

Top Notes: A Spicy Burst with Citrus Freshness

The first sensations are a whirlwind of contrasts. Calabrian bergamot brings a sparkling and luminous nuance, which quickly meets the penetrating warmth of Indian pepper and Guatemalan cardamom. Saffron, with its exotic touch, adds a spicy glow that ignites the opening with dynamism and sophistication.

Heart Notes: The Animal Mystery of Oud

In the heart, the fragrance reveals its darkest and most enigmatic side. Oud unfolds its resinous depth, with an animal character that brings magnetism. This accord intertwines with spicy and metallic nuances that reinforce its power, creating a hypnotic experience that holds the nose captivated.

Base notes: leather, amber, and intoxicating smoke

The finale is an ode to leather. Rich, robust, and enveloping, it combines with the mineral softness of ambergris and smoky accords that reinforce its dark character. This lasting base creates a powerful and elegant trail, capable of lasting with firmness and sophistication long after the first application.

Versatility for lovers of intensity

Aoud Leather is ideal for those seeking an imposing and memorable fragrance. Its intense character makes it perfect for evening wear, special occasions, or for those who want to make a statement. Despite its strength, the combination of spicy freshness with amber depth gives it balance, adapting to both temperate climates and colder seasons.
