Montale

Montale is a luxury fragrance house founded by Pierre Montale in 2003 in Paris, France. The brand is renowned for its use of rich, exotic ingredients, particularly oud, and its commitment to creating high-performance fragrances with intense sillage and longevity.

 Before founding Montale, Pierre Montale had a prestigious career as a perfumer for the royal family, where he was tasked with creating bespoke perfumes for Middle Eastern royalty. His time spent in the Middle East greatly influenced his creations, and his deep knowledge of Arabian perfume culture shaped Montale’s distinct, bold style. His experiences with rare and luxurious ingredients from the region led him to infuse oud, rose, amber, and spices into many of his signature scents. Montale’s fragrances are characterized by their depth and intensity, often showcasing rich and oriental accords with a unique blend of wood, florals, and spices. His expertise in oud is particularly notable, and many of Montale’s fragrances are known for their powerful, long-lasting presence. Montale's best-sellers are Arabians Tonka, Intense Café, and Black Aoud.
