Montale Paris Aoud Legend

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, like a new leather jacket, smoky with a bitter edge.

It opens on leather, agarwood (oud) and saffron, moves through sandalwood, patchouli and rose, and settles on ambergris, oakmoss and labdanum.

• leather: like a new leather jacket: dry, smoky, faintly bitter
• 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.
