The main component of Montale Intense Black Aoud is precious oud. Why is it so common to find the definition of “precious” in various perfumery descriptions, and why are perfumes containing this woody note called elite? Oud oil is extracted from the trunk of ancient trees, which now exist in minimal quantities. Therefore, perfumes containing extracts from the resin of the agar tree are distinguished by a high price. Intense Black Aoud is one of the niche perfumes, the beauty and versatility of which can be appreciated by few connoisseurs of beauty.
Intense Black Aoud is a sophisticated combination of woody, floral and musky notes. The perfumery bouquet begins with smoky agar shades and the moist aroma of smoldering wood inherent in the leaves of Indonesian patchouli. The heart notes of the eau de parfum are revealed by the light charm and juicy freshness of rose petals and tangerine. The aroma of musk gives the perfume a laconic completeness.
