The Oud: «Wood of Gods»

On the range of Pierre Montale's most popular scents rises the spirit of the oud, keeper of traditions at the gates to the east. Fragrant Asian ointment commonly used in the gulf region and Saudi Arabia, this scent is extracted from the oud tree. A secret millennia process kept away from light during several years.

Subjugated by his infinite combinatorial properties, Pierre Montale became the first exporter of oud for the west. He will then compose more than a hundred of timeless fragrances.

What is The oud?

Oud is produced when the Aquilaria/Agar Tree is infected by a Sparasitic fungus. The tree naturally secrets a defense against this parasite. This mechanism produces a very dark and aromatic resin. This set of wood/parasite/natural defense is taken manually, sheltered from the light in cellars for several years. After a distillation process, the Oud is here.

It is a material used in spiritual rites and practices from the Middle East to the Far bats, crossing the border of religions.

Pierre Montale

Oud is a raw material that proposes itself, then imposes itself, gently and persistently. Its strength comes from the dents of the ages and the lands that have borne it, and its splendor, immediately perceptible, can be discovered and known only through time.
