Oudrising Montale arrived in 2020 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the east family. The author of this composition is Pierre Montale, and that explains a lot. Available as eau de parfum.
Made in France, backed by a long and proud tradition. Oudrising Montale unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Oudrising unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Montale comes through from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
The internal accord map is built around these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Floral and Musc without random overlap. Background accords such as Wood, Amber, Leather and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
In the first seconds you sense sparkling citrus top notes: Bergamot, Black Pepper, Grapefruit and Leather accord.
In the middle phase you notice Jasmine, Labdanum, Oud, Patchouli, Rose and Smoke holding a velvety sandalwood direction.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Leather and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Balsamic, Wood, Floral and Mineral. At family level the fragrance belongs to East.
Overall Oudrising sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.
