By the editors · 2 min readAoud Melody announces itself without hesitation — leather and oud at full strength from the first spray, saffron adding a warm metallic cast, with clove pushing the opening toward the aromatic-spiced end. The floral heart is lush: jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose form a triad that lifts the composition's heaviness without softening its edge. Mysore sandalwood in the base is the standout element — creamy, milky, and deeply warm — absorbing oud and amber into something unusually smooth for a Montale oud fragrance. This wears long and projects boldly, with a development arc that rewards patience. A confident example of the oud-floral format.
