Aoud Flowers

$95.00

Geranium does an unusual thing here: it bridges the rose and the oud, its slightly green, rosy-metallic quality giving both materials a shared register to occupy. The oud in Aoud Flowers reads as genuine wood rather than resin, dry and dark against the rose's warmth. Patchouli in the base adds earth to the sandalwood-amber foundation without pulling the composition away from its floral center. What holds attention is the specificity of the pairing: this rose and this oud were built to coexist.

Why We Carry This

The geranium bridge between rose and oud is the compositional detail that sets Aoud Flowers apart from Pierre Montale's other rose-oud pairings. Most rose-oud fragrances lean heavily on one or the other; this one holds both in balance across a long drydown.
