Notes: bergamot, Sicilian lemon, fruits, Malaysian oud, Moroccan rose, Indonesian patchouli, amber, leather, guaiac wood, Mysore sandalwood, white musk
Aoud Night is a typical Montale leather-oud offering, vaguely along the lines of Moon Aoud.
The fruity opening is quite conservative, providing fruity-gourmand top notes as opposed to those that are zesty or juicy. However, what's surprising is how the oud and rose are timid in their stature. As for the other accords, the patchouli, amber and leather are far more discernible, as is the sandalwood and musk base.
While it's gentle, creamy and inoffensive, it's yet another recent Montale creation that's lacking a soul, let alone any originality. As for longevity, it lasts around six hours but any projection is minimal.
Although it's one of the better recent Montale releases, it still leaves one greatly dissatisfied.
