Oud Fool Roses

$115.00

Oud Fool Roses opens with rose and tangerine, the citrus giving the floral opening a brightness before the double-rose heart arrives: Taif rose, known for its honey and saffron-like complexity, alongside oud and cashmere wood. The Taif rose is the composition's distinction from standard rose-oud constructions, its characteristic sweetness and depth adding a dimension that Damascus or Turkish rose cannot provide. Labdanum and amber in the base give the rose-oud accord a resinous warmth that musk then carries close to skin.

Why We Carry This

The Taif rose in Oud Fool Roses is the specific material choice that justifies carrying this within a range that already includes other rose-oud compositions. Taif rose has a honey-saffron character that most rose-oud fragrances replace with generic rose absolute, and Montale's use of the Taif material gives the 2024 release a genuine point of distinction.
