Montale Aoud Velvet Eau de Parfum unisex 100 ml

Montale Aoud Velvet is a floral woody fragrance for men and women with a distinctive note of oud wood. This Eau de Parfum from a French perfume brand which is noted for its love of fragrances from the Orient and Arabia and for its interest in their enchanting history offers the popular fragrance of oud wood in a wonderful combination with white flowers. As with all the fragrances from the Montale brand, the greatly admired, yet somewhat enigmatic Pierre Montale has given the Aoud Velvet Eau de Parfum an original character evoking a miraculous elixir or a rare magical salve.

One of the main aromatic components in the Aoud Velvet Eau de Parfum, the wood of the Aquilaria tree so loved by Pierre Montale, also known as eagle wood, agarwood, oud, aoud or (in Arabic) oudh, is a fascinating material with a resinous aroma and the most expensive wood in the world, and it has been used for centuries to make incense and (especially Arabian) perfumes. This truly regal ingredient, also sometimes called “liquid gold” or the “wood of the gods”, is combined with floral and spicy sweet notes in Aoud Velvet by Montale.

The aromatic composition of the Montale Aoud Velvet Eau de Parfum opens in the head with notes of orange blossom, ylang-ylang and a special gardenia (the Tiare flower). The heart contains charming and mystical Arabian oud wood, while the base consists of tones of sandalwood, vanilla and tonka bean. The overall aroma combines the dominant white floral notes with the distinctive tone of oud wood and the sweet, vanilla, woody and balsamic aspects and in so doing reveals the feminine side of the oud wood. The vanilla, tonka beans and rare sandalwood from Mysore in India provide enthralling smoothness – hence the word "Velvet" in the name. The Aoud Velvet fragrance, which is perfectly suited to both men and women, is masterfully balanced, unmistakable and unforgettable.

Pierre Montale has created yet another extremely successful and original interpretation of fascinating oud wood which deserves admiring attention, as if the time he spent in Saudi Arabia had imbued the brand’s founder and the creator of all the perfumes in its portfolio with the mysterious abilities of an Oriental sorcerer. Like all of Pierre Montale’s fragrant creations, Aoud Velvet has been created using natural materials of the highest quality and in high concentrations which ensure that the fragrance has a long-lasting effect.

Montale Aoud Velvet is suitable for day and evening wear, all year round. This Eau de Parfum will appeal to men and women who like the scent of oud wood, especially in combination with white flowers. It should be tried by everybody who appreciates true quality and likes to feel the breath of the magical history of the Orient upon them. In addition to magical scents with masterfully balanced aromatic compositions, all the perfumes by Montale also come with captivating, original packaging. The design is enchanting thanks to its straightforward and pure elegance, which, in the case of Aoud Velvet, has been enhanced with the use of an attractive glossy gold colour scheme, while the practical selection of the material also makes the flacon unique. Pierre Montale has made the original choice of an aluminium flacon which provides the perfume with perfect protection.
