Montale Aoud Forest Eau de Parfum (sample)

The Wood Collection, featuring the world's most expensive wood, agarwood, entices with mysterious forest trails in the scent of Aoud Forest by Montale. As the French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once said, there are path people and there are highway people. This perfume is particularly suited for the path people: those whose company is simply a pleasure to enjoy. They are endlessly fascinating, with something new and interesting to discover every day. These people love life in all its forms, valued for their unique individuality, not for their goals or status.

The fragrance is fresh, with a woody-fougère character. It opens with the bitter citrus of grapefruit, sparks of lemon, and the sharpness of ginger. At its heart lies an elegant rose and spicy rosemary. The base of gray amber and white musk sets a calm, even tone. There is also a pleasant moisture, like the air after rain amongst the shady trees. The perfumers of the brand refer to this accord as "marine notes," the composition of which is kept secret.
