There’s dark—and then there’s Dark Aoud by Montale. Launched in 2011, this unisex Eau de Parfum is the olfactory equivalent of a tailored tux at midnight: elegant, intriguing, and unforgettable. Built around the deep richness of agarwood (oud)—a rare resin revered in Middle Eastern perfumery—this fragrance belongs squarely in the oud, woody, and powdery scent families. With no traditional top note to distract, it dives straight into the heart: potent, smoky agarwood, commanding attention like a velvet voice in a candlelit lounge. In the base, creamy sandalwood adds a warm, silky texture that softens the sharpness of oud, leaving a trail that’s both bold and inviting. Best worn on cool fall or winter nights, this is not your brunch fragrance—it’s made for black-tie affairs, VIP rooftop lounges, or closing deals over cigars and scotch. Montale Dark Aoud is a power move in a bottle—refined, mysterious, and built to linger in memory.
