Montale Paris Aoud Damascus

Mostly the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend. Underneath that, dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses.

It opens on gurjan balsam, moves through gurjan balsam, olibanum and oud, and settles on gurjan balsam, olibanum and oud.

• olibanum: frankincense: dry resinous smoke with a citrus lift. Usually worth naming as frankincense instead
• oud: dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
