Montale Oudmazing EDP

Description

Oudmazing is Montale's fruit-bowl oud: grape, fig and pear piled on top of the wood, with vanilla and a soft leather to finish. Released in 2016 and credited to house founder Pierre Montale, it puts Malaysian oud in the opening next to Sicilian orange and bergamot, then turns sweet and juicy as the fruit takes over. The heart adds Egyptian jasmine, iris and patchouli, and the drydown settles on grape, vanilla, leather and white musk. Reviewers are clear that the oud is a supporting player here. Most describe it as a grape-and-vanilla fragrance with a woody edge, which makes it one of the easier entry points into Montale's oud line.

Scent Character

Translation: sweet fruit leads, with the oud and the bright citrus sharing second place. The floral share is the jasmine and iris heart, and the woods stay in the background.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Malaysian Oud (Agarwood), Sicilian Orange, Sicilian Bergamot, Fig, Pear
• Heart: Egyptian Jasmine, Iris, Patchouli

Performance

Longevity: Typically 6–8 hours on skin, and longer on clothing.
Sillage: Moderate to strong in the first hours, in the usual Montale manner.
Projection: An arm's length or more early on, then closer to the skin.

An honest note: reviews vary. Some wearers get a full day from a few sprays, while others find it settles into a skin scent sooner than they expected.

FAQ

Does Oudmazing contain real oud?
Yes, agarwood is listed in the opening. It is kept in the background, though, and most people notice the grape, fig and vanilla long before the wood.

Is it men's or women's?
Unisex. The leather and oud give it some edge, while the fruit and vanilla make the drydown soft and sweet.

How long does it last?
Usually 6–8 hours on skin, with good projection in the first few hours. Clothing holds it longer.

What does it smell like on skin?
Juicy grape and pear over vanilla, with a woody, slightly leathery base. It reads more fruity gourmand than traditional oud.
