Aoud Velvet

Montale Aoud Velvet dupe, inspired by the original

Montale Aoud Velvet is a smooth, rounded oud, wrapping the house’s signature wood in soft rose, amber and vanilla for a plush, easy to wear finish. Our interpretation carries that character in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Where some Montale ouds are sharp and smoky, Aoud Velvet lives up to its name with a softer, more polished feel. It keeps the rich agarwood at the centre but rounds every edge with warm, sweet materials.

Orange and bergamot open it bright and fresh, a smooth oud, rose and jasmine give a warm floral woody heart, and a base of amber, vanilla and patchouli keeps it plush and long lasting. It smells like a velvety, refined oud, rich without any harshness, which is exactly what makes it so wearable.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation is. What we have built follows the same woody oriental signature of the original, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil so it projects clearly early on and lingers longer than a typical spray. A little goes a long way.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who wants a smooth, refined oud with a soft, warm finish. It works year round and is especially good in cooler months, and wears as a bold unisex fragrance.
