MONTALE

Twenty years ago, in the far reaches of the Kingdom of Arabia, Pierre Montale had a fateful encounter that would shape his life and work.

Deeply inspired by the mysticism, beauty and hidden secrets of the Eastern world, he began creating fragrances that were a fusion of his learning and undisguised wonder. He works with a range of exclusive and traditional fragrance materials such as rose, frankincense, amber, cedar, precious wood and many other enchanting ingredients - all to create unique scents that are both blissful and love potions in their purest form.

Among Pierre Montale's most popular fragrances is oud, a scent deeply rooted in Eastern tradition. Pierre Montale became the first ambassador of oud in the West, and his work with this powerful and versatile fragrance material has made him a pioneer in the world of perfumery. Oud, with its infinite combinations and complexity, earned him a reputation as one of the foremost in the perfume industry.

In 2003, he returned to his homeland and launched his first fragrances under his own perfume house, Montale. His creations represent an olfactory immersion that offers an almost meditative experience, a perfection that can only be experienced when you close your eyes and allow the scents to transport you to another world.
