"Draw me an island," she said. "Somewhere I would belong. A place to rest, a nest to stay. A place to look at the world from this outside and see how beautiful it is."
With this poetic inspiration, Montale set out to create an olfactory masterpiece, a scent that is both intimate and intense, timeless and enchanting. This fragrance had to be a universally personal experience, evoking the magic and artistry of a master perfumer.
He began by collecting the most precious materials, seeking a blend that would transport one to a secret world. The journey started with the fresh, invigorating notes of Lemon and Mandarin, guiding the way. Leather and Sandalwood emerged, sketching the contours of this hidden paradise.
An open space enveloped in Amber appeared, surrounded by the endless embrace of Labdanum and Vanilla. He crafted a generous land bathed in the exotic aroma of Tiaré, with a rich, tuberose heart at its core. Oud Island was born—not a mere island, but your very own personal sanctuary.
Montale's Oud Island is a fragrance that invites you to escape, to find solace and beauty in your own intimate retreat.
