By the editors · 2 min readThe name is a deliberate misdirection — no oud appears here. Lemon opens the first minutes with clarity, then licorice steps forward: anise-black, just slightly sweet, not medicinal. It is the defining note, unusual for a Montale release. Patchouli and amber anchor the middle, giving the licorice a soft earth bed.
The dry-down pulls toward vetiver and white musk, which give the composition a subtle mineral grain. This is quiet for the house — moderate sillage, moderate trail — and uncharacteristic in accord but not in execution. Someone looking for a Montale oud fragrance will be surprised; someone looking for a gourmand-adjacent curiosity will find it more interesting than the name suggests.
