Montale Aoud Queen Roses

Launched in 2007, Aoud Queen Roses by Montale is an oriental floral unisex Eau de Parfum that reigns over the floral‑oriental category with undeniable authority. Created by the legendary nose Pierre Montale, this regal masterpiece bridges the opulent traditions of the Middle East with the refined artistry of French perfumery. The fragrance opens with an assertive, slightly medicinal oud and a sparkling burst of saffron and pink peppercorn, creating a dark, winey rose that is both deep and rich. The heart unfurls a velvety symphony of Turkish rose absolute, sensuous jasmine, and ylang‑ylang, deeply intertwined with patchouli and the resinous warmth of agarwood (oud). As the composition develops, it grows darker and more intense with notes of leather and resin. The dry‑down is warm, long‑lasting, and earthy, anchored by sandalwood, oakmoss, guaiac wood, and a creamy white musk, leaving an addictive, seductive trail.

This fragrance is famous for its exceptional longevity (8–12+ hours) and strong, room‑filling sillage. Perfect for fall and winter evenings, it is a bold, sophisticated signature for the confident woman or man who appreciates a dark, narcotic rose.
