Wood and Spices by Montale is dense and resinous, built around oud and warm spice. Agarwood, incense and pink pepper open it, sharpened by geranium and a green lift from vetiver, with violet just visible underneath. Sandalwood, patchouli and other woody notes fill out the middle, and the base settles into musk and oakmoss, dry and a touch smoky. It came out in 2005, worn mostly by men, well suited to anyone who wants oud read as warmth rather than showmanship. Autumn and winter suit it best, for evenings out or later at night. Wearers' longevity votes lean toward long-lasting, and sillage leans strong as well, so it holds a small room without effort. Try a 3ml decant over a week of colder evenings before you commit.

The house
More from Montale
Montale was founded in France in 2003 by Pierre Montale, who built the house around oud paired with rose and bottled it in his trademark aluminium flacons. Oud is still part of the story, but the range here runs mostly sweet and warm: amber, vanilla and musk, with coffee, caramel and tonka bean for richness and saffron for heat. Intense Cafe is the first one to know, rose and coffee over vanilla. Chocolate Greedy is a spiced cacao treat, and Arabians Tonka is a dense, sugary amber. Black Aoud goes back to the roots with rose, oud and patchouli.
