Black Aoud by Montale is a dark, rose-heavy oud built for people who like their perfume loud. Rose opens it, deep and a little jammy rather than delicate. Oud and patchouli take over through the heart, earthy and deep. Musk holds the base, keeping the whole thing warm rather than sharp. Released in 2006 and worn by men and women alike, it suits anyone drawn to rose pushed into darker, woodier territory. Voters save it for winter and autumn nights, choosing it once evening settles in, more for going out than for everyday wear. Most wearers vote its longevity eternal, and most call the sillage enormous, so a single spray goes a long way. A 3ml decant is plenty to find out if it suits you.

The community verdict
For winter nights, Black Aoud pairs a pronounced rose with oud and patchouli over musk; autumn evenings work too. Most find it exceptionally long-lasting, with enormous projection that can fill a room. It suits an assertive style, but a light hand may help if rose feels intense.
