Comment: Aoud Legacy is an Arab Gulf states exclusive
Over the years, Montale has issued many 'aromatic' scents, with the marine aspect being either full-on (Vetiver des Sables, Embruns d'Essaouira, Sandflowers and Fougères Marines) or subdued (Boisé Fruité, Black Musk, Aoud Forest and Santal Wood). Aoud Legacy is the latest addition to the latter.
Opening with a spicy-citrus blast, its 'aromatic' aura is subtle but still discernible. After the top notes dissipate, all that remains is a saffron-infused oud accord, with a soft aquatic nuance. However, performance-wise, there's a grave deficit in both tenacity and sillage, when compared to the Western Montales offerings.
While it's a pleasantly fresh woody-aromatic, it's no different to a fresh designer sport fragrance. In other words, generic and highly disposable.
