The Scoop If you needed convincing that there simply isn't another line out there that could compare to Montale in its masterful use of aoud note, try Aoud Roses Petals. The precious aoud is woven into the crimson velvet of the rose accord with truly exquisite skill. The striking note is neither harsh nor arid here, as aoud is often prone to be. The silky sweetness of roses softens the aoud, and, in turn, aoud gives flowers dark, smoldering sensuality, that wonderfully exotic feel that many perfumes try to achieve and only few manage to create. The woody base notes, with the lingering presence of aoud, are warm and rich-- a fittingly opulent finale for this Arabian tale of perfume and passion.
