Founded in Paris in 2003 by Pierre Montale, the house was born after several years spent in the Middle East, where the perfumer discovered oud and other rare materials. Back in France, he developed a fragrance style with oriental accents, built around concentrated compositions. In 2008, he also founded Mancera, then opened a Montale boutique near the Champs-Élysées in 2015.
Montale builds its identity around intense materials such as oud, rose, amber, musk, leather and precious woods. The house favours concentrated compositions designed to leave a distinctive trail. Its cylindrical aluminium bottles protect the fragrances from light and help preserve them.
Right now at Fragsplit, 6 Montale fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants: Intense Cafe, Honey Aoud, Vetiver Patchouli, Oud Tobacco, Infinity…
