Founder and History

Behind the founding of Montale Paris stands a man with a deep passion for fragrance: Pierre Montale. Before opening his perfume house in Paris in 2003, he spent many years in Saudi Arabia, where he developed tailor-made perfumes exclusively for the royal family and members of the nobility. This experience shaped not only his fragrance aesthetic but also his combination of French refinement and oriental fragrance tradition.

  • An olfactory heritage between Orient and Occident.

    In the Arabian desert, Pierre Montale encountered a centuries-old understanding of perfumery, characterized by the use of rare raw materials and intense concentrations. He was particularly fascinated by the rare and precious oud, also known as "liquid gold." He recognized the potential to bring this essence to the European perfume world, yet without losing its spiritual depth and primal power. With his return to Paris, the success story of Montale Paris began. The brand became one of the first in Europe to specialize in oud perfumes. Pierre Montale developed a collection that not only reflects the magic of the Orient but also unites the artistic craftsmanship of France's perfumery. His fragrances are often rich in contrasts: powerful and gentle, smoky and sweet, spicy and powdery. They evoke journeys to distant lands, permeated with memories, colors, and textures.

  • Design, fragrance and mystery: what makes Montale so unique

    The packaging plays a special role. Instead of traditional glass bottles, Montale uses elegant aluminum bottles that effectively protect the perfume from light. At the same time, they are reminiscent of antique perfume containers from the Orient. Each bottle is not just a container, but an expression of the aesthetics and culture that Montale embodies. Pierre Montale remains a mysterious figure to this day. He rarely appears in public, allowing his creations to speak for themselves, thus protecting the aura of mystery surrounding his brand. It is precisely this mystique that makes Montale so fascinating.


    "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"

    - Pierre Montale -


    Today, Montale Paris is a global symbol for exclusive, niche perfumes with character. The fragrances are available in over 70 countries and find their place in the world's most prestigious perfumeries. Despite its success, Pierre Montale's signature is evident in every creation. It carries on his vision: to touch people with extraordinary fragrances, awaken their senses, and tell stories that go deep under the skin.

Oriental opulence in a modern form: the perfumes of Montale Paris

Montale fragrances are emotional works of art, born from a symbiosis of oriental inspiration and French craftsmanship. Each scent tells a story, creates a mood, and touches the senses in a profound way. At the heart of the collection is the use of highly concentrated, natural raw materials. The brand uses an exceptionally high proportion of pure essential oils, which gives the fragrances their distinctive depth and long-lasting presence.

  • A commitment to purity, intensity and emotion.

    Notes such as oud, rose, amber, patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla are carefully selected and combined to create complex yet harmonious compositions. The oriental character of many Montale perfumes is particularly distinctive. Fragrances such as Oud Dream , Pure Gold , and Mukhallat transport the wearer to faraway lands. At the same time, Montale brings a modern balance to its collections with fresh, floral, and fruity accords.

  • Character, structure and variety: this is what Montale smells like

    A unique selling point is the elegant aluminum bottle, which not only ensures high recognition value but also serves a functional purpose. It optimally protects the fragrance molecules, thus preserving the quality and longevity of the perfume. Montale offers a wide range of fragrance families, including smoky and spicy, sweet and gourmand, or fresh and aquatic scents. This ensures that every type of person will find their own personal favorite. Whether as a signature scent or for special occasions, Montale perfumes offer individuality and expressiveness. The collection is divided into clear series: "Oud," "Fresh," "Amber," "Fruity," "Floral," "Gourmand," and many more. Within these lines, you will find both iconic bestsellers and unusual niche fragrances that are almost unparalleled in their originality and quality.

Top-class sensuality with musk: The Arabians Musk

With Arabians Musk, Montale has created a perfume that embodies the essence of oriental fragrance culture while exuding modern elegance. Inspired by the heritage of Arabian equestrian art and the symbolic power of the horse, Arabians Musk unfolds as a sensual, animalistic, yet highly sophisticated fragrance that impressively combines strength and gentleness.

  • Creamy musk and fine leather.

    The focal point is the note of white musk, which gives the fragrance its pure, creamy depth. For Montale, musk is not just a base accord, but a key element of the composition. In Arabian Musk, it is accompanied by a powerful leather note, which lends the fragrance a noble, almost majestic character. Patchouli, amber, and cedarwood add warmth and earthy depth.

  • Masculine power and soft sensuality.

    The special sophistication arises from the combination of these powerful accords with floral elements such as rose and jasmine. These bring a subtle lightness to the composition without disturbing the dark, mystical aura. It is this tension between masculine power and soft sensuality that makes Arabians Musk a truly special experience. Arabians Musk is a fragrance that takes up space without being loud. It doesn't remain on the surface, but works deep down. The musk envelops the skin in a soft, almost skin-like warmth, while leather and woods add structure and presence. Arabians Musk is for people who love fragrances with character and are sensual, sophisticated, powerful, and mysterious all at once.

Spicy depth meets sweet temptation: The Arabians Tonka

Arabians Tonka is one of Montale's most iconic fragrance creations and is considered a symbol of opulent oriental fragrances with modern sophistication. The fragrance combines the warmth of the tonka bean with the mystical depth of oud, creating an olfactory experience that is simultaneously seductive, powerful, and mysterious. Inspired by the desert romance of Arabian nights and the wild elegance of oriental horses, Arabians Tonka unfolds a multi-layered, almost cinematic aura.

  • Tonka bean and oud in harmony.

    At the heart of the composition is the tonka bean, which, with its sweet, vanilla-nutty facets, delivers a delicious gourmand note. It brings warmth, richness, and a touch of nostalgia. The heart note of oud, meanwhile, lends the fragrance structure and depth. Oud, also known as agarwood, is considered one of the world's most precious fragrances and lends a smoky, dark sensuality to this creation.

  • Sensual balance and striking presence.

    These two main ingredients are masterfully complemented by noble notes of Bulgarian rose, saffron, amber, bergamot, sugar cane, and oak moss. The result is a finely balanced perfume that oscillates between sweet lightness and animalic depth. The rose brings a delicate romanticism, while the moss and spices ground the fragrance, lending it an almost rugged nobility. Arabian Tonka is a perfume with presence. It wears like a tailored suit, powerful, striking, yet elegant. On the skin, it develops dynamically: initially bright and spicy, then sweet and creamy, and finally earthy and velvety. The longevity is exceptional. One spray is enough to accompany the fragrance for many hours without losing its expressiveness.

The heart of the Orient: the oud fragrances of Montale Paris

If there's one element that particularly defines the Montale Paris signature, it's oud. It's the dark, precious resinous scent extracted from deep within the agarwood tree. Montale was one of the first European perfume houses to place the spiritual power and sensual complexity of oud at the heart of its collections. Since then, the brand has been considered a pioneer in the art of oud perfumery, creating an unparalleled fragrance line that impressively celebrates the oriental character of the raw material.

  • The liquid gold of the Orient: Oud reinterpreted at Montale

    Oud, also known as agarwood, is a rare and precious raw material known for its woody, balsamic, and sometimes smoky depth. In its purest form, it exudes a mystical aura and has been used for centuries in the Arab world for religious ceremonies and royal perfumes. Montale reinterprets this tradition, combining the precious resin in a variety of often daring combinations.

  • Oud in its most beautiful variety.

    The collection includes more than 40 different oud perfumes, from classic oriental to avant-garde modern. Fragrance icons such as Oud Dream , Oudyssee , Oud Pashmina , Oud Tobacco and Oudmazing demonstrate the incredible transformability of the raw material. Oud is combined with floral accords such as rose, jasmine or ylang-ylang, but also with citrus fruits, spices, leather or vanilla. This creates complex fragrances that not only enchant but also surprise. Montale's oud fragrances are characterized by extraordinary depth, strong presence and extreme longevity. They are powerful, but never intrusive. They evolve with the skin, unfolding new facets over the hours and can be worn by both men and women.

The summer fragrances are ideal for warm days and vacations on the skin. Montale masterfully combines fruity, floral, and aquatic notes to create a vibrant, refreshing, yet elegant effect. They don't just envelop, they captivate.

  • Sunbeams in fragrance form: the summer highlights from Montale

    One of the highlights of the collection is Day Dreams , a dreamy fragrance that captures the atmosphere of a sunset on a Greek island. With Sicilian orange, neroli, tiare blossom, and coconut milk, it evokes a feeling of comfort and sunshine in every note. So Amber, meanwhile, demonstrates how sensual a summer fragrance can be. The combination of amber, rose, sandalwood, and raspberry creates a warm, luminous bouquet. Aqua Gold, on the other hand, exudes Mediterranean freshness with lavender, jasmine, and Italian lemon, reminiscent of a sea breeze.

  • Summer on the skin, style in the bottle.

    Montale skillfully plays with contrasts in its summer fragrances. Citrus fruits meet vanilla, coconut meets musk, blossoms meet wood. This creates scents that are not fleeting, but lingering. The bottles also reflect the summer spirit. Their design captivates with bright, lustrous colors such as white, gold, turquoise, or rose, making the perfumes real eye-catchers and true travel companions. Despite their lightness, Montale's summer fragrances retain their unmistakable signature: luxurious, high-quality, multifaceted. For all those who want to prolong the summer with their fragrance, or want to bring it to their skin in spring.

Dry skin areas are intensively cared for without leaving a greasy feeling. What makes Montale's body cream special is its intense fragrance.
