White Aoud
Eau de Parfum
by Montale

The Scoop
A soft and insinuating take on the mystical aoud. The opening is powdery and slightly antiseptic, but this fragrance quickly blooms on the skin – gentle roses, delicate spices and ethereal incense on a creamy bed of amber and sandalwood. A judicious swirl of sweet vanilla smoothes out the blend, but never takes over the scent. If you love Black Aoud, but find it too intense for everyday wear, this is the answer. Do not be alarmed – all of this creamy softness has not banished the compelling complexity of the oud. It is still here, sensuous and edgy and dream inducing, making this a comfort scent that will never be mistaken for ordinary. Our fragrance geek side marvels at how perfectly balanced this is, our diva side just wants to wear it because it’s gorgeous. Subtle and beautiful.

This is the best Montale's oud line. The oud, rose, and vanilla work magic on my skin.

White Oud has been a knock-out scent right off the bat! It gives strong and rich impression- spicy, exotic, vanilla, cinnamon, jasmine, rose, and a sexy latex/leather smell! The good kind!! I thank the previous commenters that said it smells like sex- I totally get that, and it broke through alot of commentary and gave me the curiosity to try it... That is the experience I have when I inhale this: pure sexy. My husband likes it ! (he is typically anti-most perfumes.) Even my nine yr old daughter said i smell pretty! I know every one has their own body to work with when choosing fragrance, and there are so many great ones at Luckyscent. If you like a rich, spicy exotic pretty scent this is awesome. My last perfume phase was Andy Tauer Le Maroc Pour Elle, which is a beautiful heavy incense/rose spice smell, also great. Good luck!

I had wanted to try this one for a while because I enjoy Montale scents in general and this fragrance always got such great reviews. I am kind of neutral about white aoud. It is a nicely blended and well balanced fragrance but I don't think it matches my personal style. I feel it is a bit mature and classic smaeling. I can see how on someone else this fragrance could be amazing, on someone with different tastes in perfume. I felt that the overall smell was a touch spicy, and if it were a color, surprisingly it would not be white, but maybe gray. So overall, this was just ok for me but it has the potential to be great on someone else. It lasted a very long time and has good sillage as well.

According to my (highly personal) tastes this is the most balanced and gorgeous of Montale's Aoud line. The rosy, floral top notes are beautiful and not at all overwhelming. The heart blend arises quickly and casts a complex mix of benzoin/tonka/vanilla and medicinal herbs. The dry down reveals more of the vanilla/benzoin base and persists for an extended period. The fragrance truly straddles the middle balance of a gender neutral accord.

at first when i tried this i thought no way. too strong, too sweet and much too cloying. however of all the scents i tried on, three hours later this was the one to stand out. (it did take some time to die down...) different and beautiful. smells very riche like an arabic princess. for me, the jury is still out on this one.

By the way, if you buy a sample from LS and wonder "Hmm, this smells nothing like Black Aoud" which many reviews on the internet tell you that White is a toned version of Black. FYI, its Aoud Lime you are smelling if your sample smells like mens cologne. The real White Aoud which smells like roses and saffron is really quite beautiful. Get a sample elsewhere before you buy a fb. LS if you are reading this please check your samples b/c Andrea confirmed that your samples are marked correctly. I bought White samples twice now and both times I got Aoud Lime marked as White Aoud.

I just ordered White Aoud. For the past year, I've thought it was too sweet, too velvety/wussy, too 'meh.' Ive changed. Plus, I'm on a perfume layering kick and White Aoud is an excellent base to many perfumes that are a bit...anxious. White Aoud assures tenacious and steadfast sillage and encourages everyone to take a deep breath and relax. We can all chill knowing that vanilla, tobacco and agarwood are beautifully -and fairly - represented in White Aoud.

meh. that's about all I can say. it's tooooooo white. I'm not a fan of white flowery things... and this has too much of a white top note. Not smoky or sexy, in my opinion. Too uninteresting. dry down was still too white... not great.

Extremely pretty. Wonderful rose, love the sandalwood. Goes on a bit strong but settles real nice. This would be amazing on the right man.

First Montale I tried. I was initially puzzled by the Aoud, then came to love it as it released and yet anchored the other notes in this masterpiece. Warm, lush, soft (but not wimpy) sexy, sexy, sexy. Love, love, love. Montale deserves so much respect for creating scents that are like no other. Never boring.

This is my second favorite oud from Montale, after the hypnotically addictive Red Oud. It is lighter and less sweet than the Red Oud, and much lighter than the Black Oud. A great scent you could wear every day.

I <3 Black Oud, but failed to appreciate the White until I smelled it on a (male) friend of mine. I nigh tore his clothes off in the middle of a very public space -- it was heavenly on him. Very sandalwood-y and smooth, with the rose staying close to his skin. With that association firmly in place, I had to have it for myself, despite my initial indifference. It's completely different on me -- very soft, moist vanillic rose, with the sandalwood keeping close (basically an inverse of my appreciation of the smell on him). On the off days I forsake it for my other fragrances -- all of which I love -- I spend my entire car commute sniffing my seatbelt shoulder strap for remnants of the White Aoud. Closer to heaven than anything I've ever smelled; This. Is. Gorgeous.

One of the most beautiful rose scents i ever smelled, do not judge this one when you first put it on, i think that part turns a lot of people away, give it a couple of minutes, the dry down is absolutely beautiful. And i am not a fan of rose scent, Montale however has the most beautiful rose scents i know. The new Red Aoud (european exclusive maybe) is on the lines of white aoud, but so much more beautiful.

I have never smelled a rose fragrance like this. I don't really like rose, and yet this rose is the most beautiful rose on earth. It is layed over a scent of mystery; very compelling. What an outstanding fragrance!

Oh. My. God. I absolutely loathed this on first sniff: it smelled oddly fungal and antiseptic at the same time. But then I dabbed a bit on my wrist...in a few moments, strange and wonderful things began to happen. The notes I disliked morphed into cream and sap and skin and sweat. Which sounds horrible but is, in fact, extraordinarily beautiful. White Aoud is opulent but not florid, smooth without reeking of vanilla, oddly out-of-this-world. It is unlike anything else I have ever tried. Normally, I go for citrus and ginger scents but this has turned me into an aoud addict. White Aoud smells like sex...but in a really good way.

This is my favorite Aoud from Montale. It is much easier for me to wear than Black Aoud...more of a daytime and softer version of the Black. The listing of the notes is very surprising as I get mostly a lightly sweetened Aoud. The longevity is remarkable along with the sillage. This is a 1-2 spritz for me at best. My husband always says "wear that one perfume" referring to this. According to him all my others smell alike and this is the best of the very large bunch! For all you Aoud purists you can stop reading now :o) This layers wonderfully with CSP Vanille Abricot. It softens the Aoud in the opening then fades after a few hours and you're left with pure Montale. It gives it a bit of a Velvet Aoud feel!

In just a short amount of time, this has become one of my all time favorite scents. It is floral, woody, slightly smokey and creamy. The fianl drydown (which takes up to 12 - 16 hours on my skin!) is a velvety "grown-up" vanilla. Each stage in the dry down is so unique and beautiful, I find myself wearing this everyday in order to "re-live" the experience. I have received more compliments on this scent than anything else in my fragrance wardrobe. This is an astounding scent - suitable for men and women.

Being a fan of Black Aoud, I appreciate this one as well. White smoke, ethereal, warm slight sweetness, but the oud is always present. Beautiful scent and full bottle worthy. Sillage and longevity are both excellent. Very sexy, just like her older brother Black Aoud.

Oh, my GODS! This is amazing. I'm deeply in love with this even though it is so strong it ventures slightly into migraine territory. Be very careful to use a light hand with this, and definitly sample first.
