Dark Aoud from Montale, released in 2011 and composed by Pierre Montale, is a straightforward woody oud. People describe it simply as woody, and the note list is just as direct: agarwood and sandalwood.

The oud carries it, dark, resinous and medicinal, with the slightly animalic, smoky depth that defines the material. Sandalwood is there to smooth it out, adding a creamy, milky softness that takes some of the edge off and gives the drydown a warmer, rounder feel. There is no fruit, flower or citrus to distract from the two woods.

Four in ten wearers report that it lasts all day and almost as many call it long lasting, while about half find the sillage strong and a fifth call it enormous. It is voted equally for autumn and winter and mostly for night. It is worn by anyone, and suits cold evenings and someone who wants an uncompromising oud rather than a softened one.
