Arabians Rose Leather
Arabians Rose Leather by Montale is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with leather, rose and ylang-ylang, moves into oud, cedarwood and sandalwood and dries down to labdanum, vanilla and musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Heart
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
