17 Best Montale Fragrances For Women 2024
Montale is a perfume company that was founded by Pierre Montale. Before he started his company, he was a nose working exclusively with the rich and famous of Dubai and some other cities in Qatar and also Saudi Arabia.
In 2003, the company was born and its first ever perfume collection was named after him. The perfumes were loved and sold out quickly.
The Montale company/ brand is based in Paris, France, the fashion capital of the world. So, that’s just a brief history of the Montale brand.
It is a relatively new brand that is forging its way in the industry. It has been around for twenty years now and is much more established than when it started out.
There are so many different beautiful scents and humans remember each scent specifically. There must be a scent that each one of us says is the best they have ever known.
Still, you will discover new ones you will love or like or they might even become the best ones you have ever known.
Anyway, to all those who are love perfume as much as I do, we keep trying out new ones and we won’t stop any time soon.
So, here is what I think are the seventeen best Montale fragrances for women in no particular order. Most of the perfumes on this list if not all are strong scents.
So, for the ladies who like softer perfumes, this list is not for you because you might hate all of them and think the list is insane for thinking the scents are good.
But, for those who love stronger, warmer perfumes, try at least one of the perfumes here and you will definitely be impressed.
17 Best Montale Fragrances For Women
1. Montale Ristretto Intense Café Extrait de Parfum.
This perfume was launched in 2019. It has quite an interesting name. I mean when you think of a café, you think of coffee, at least the avid coffee drinkers do.
On the Montale website, it is said that the perfume opens with a perfect waft of fresh brewing coffee that will take your breath away.
I agree, it is perfect when you first smell it. Then when you let it sit further, the vanilla emerges and we all know vanilla smells amazing. Its top notes are black coffee and Turkish rose water, middle notes are French rose buds, roasted coffee beans and the base notes are vanilla bean pods, white musk, caramel and amber.
The fragrance was made for both men and women which would explain the mustiness in the perfume.
Its main accords are coffee, rose, vanilla, warm spicy, caramel, powdery, sweet, musky, floral and woody. It is a beautiful scent that draws you in from the beginning.
The smell of coffee makes it seem like something that you not only need but must have. The fragrance overall smells like something you want to eat.
It is a sweet warm spicy and floral scent that you should definitely try out. The perfume (100 ml) is worth 155 euros so if you can afford it, why not?
2. Montale Aoud Forest.
The Montale Auod forest perfume is an ‘out in the wilderness’ scent you can wear anywhere: dinner parties, work, workouts, summer, winter, all year round.
Its main accords are seawater, rosemary, lemon, grapefruit, ginger, agarwood(oud), rose, musk and ambergris.
This already smells heavenly to me although it smells more like a beach than a forest but who cares about all that if the scent is great.
It has a moderate sillage and its longevity is reasonable (5 to 6 hours). It makes you smell fresh the entire time you are wearing it.
This seems like a win to me and it is quite a lovely scent. Although it was made for both men and women, I feel like the particular lightness of this perfume makes it perfect for women.
So, ladies try this gorgeous scent.
3. Montale Arabians Tonka Eau de Parfum
This perfume was launched in 2019. Its top notes are saffron and bergamot, middle notes are agarwood (oud) and Bulgarian rose and its base notes are sugarcane, tonka bean, amber white musk and oakmoss.
Its main accords are sweet, vanilla, amber, rose, musky, metallic. It is a beautiful scent that keeps evolving.
It is for both men and women and it is a great buy for those who love sweet flowery scents. It is definitely one of those perfumes where you get compliments every now and then about how good you smell.
It has the best longevity for a perfume and a strong sillage. It is a bit spicy at first like most men’s perfumes but trust the process, it is a good one.
And as a piece of advice, don’t wear too much of it, it is quite strong and will leave you dizzy. So, spray a little bit and you got yourself a great perfume. So, try it.
4. Montale Aoud Queen roses.
This beautiful scent was launched in 2007 and it was created by the boss himself, nose Pierre Montale.
It is a women’s perfume which is very sensual and sweet. Its amin accords are oud, rose, floral, leather, patchouli, fresh spicy, animalic, woody, smoky and warm spicy.
It is a long-lasting perfume with strong sillage. It smells so good. If you love flowery and powdery scents, this is the one, it smells like a rose bit just the sweetness of it and not the overwhelming strong rose scent.
It is a loud perfume so if you like it simple with minimal sillage, look elsewhere because this won’t be for you. it is a great scent for the hot summers because it lasts for about eight hours or more. It is divine so try it.
5. Montale Dark Purple Eau de Parfum.
It was launched in 2011 for women. The top notes are plum and orange, middle notes are rose and red berries and the base notes are musk, tea wood and amber.
It is seductive, intoxicating and fierce. This is one of those perfumes with an attitude. Good sillage and longevity. It is a great perfume.
6. Montale Red Aoud.
This fragrance was launched in2008 for both men and women. It is a spicy perfume so if you hate those, stay away.
Its main accords are warm spicy, rose, fresh spicy, woody, metallic, floral. It is a sexy and alluring scent and it does blend well with the skin so it is a yes from me.
It has a moderate sillage but it is a long-lasting scent so that is good enough.
7. Montale Velvet Fantasy Eau de Parfum.
It is still a new one since it was launched in 2020 as a fragrance for women. Its top notes are fruity notes and citruses, middle notes are rose and violet and base notes are white musk, incense and amber.
It has good sillage and is long-lasting. It is a strong fruity scent and appeals mostly to those who adore fruity fragrances. It draws you in and never lets go.
8. Montale White Aoud.
This fragrance was launched in 2006 for both women and men. It is a delicate and soft aroma and also a very warm fragrance.
Its notes include agarwood, rose, vanilla, saffron, jasmine, patchouli, amber, and sandalwood. It is soft but also strong so spray a little and you will smell heavenly for the better part of the day.
I won’t describe it much because it seems similar to other Montale perfumes but that doesn’t make it any less amazing.
9. Montale Intense Roses Musk Eau de Parfum.
This fragrance was launched in 2015 as a women’s scent and its nose was Pierre Montale. Its main accords are rose, musky, amber, powdery and floral.
The floral bit is not too exaggerated in this one so for my daring women, this is the musky scent for you. It is a very outgoing perfume and is not quite for everybody.
It is a very natural scent and I know very few will like it. Just remember to get a sample so that you are definitely sure before getting a bottle.
I like this one even though it is not my go to scent every day. It is great for humid evenings.
Its sillage and longevity are great so you can try it if it works, it works, if it doesn’t, there are other options.
10. Montale Sunset flowers.
I love the packaging of this scent. The white bottle makes it look expensive and I would probably buy it only for its aesthetic (white and shimmering gold) but the fragrance begs to differ because it is exquisite.
It smells like a garden of fresh flowers in the summer. It is a great scent for the spring and summer.
It is a floral fragrance that was launched in 2008 for both men and women. The nose behind it is Pierre Montale. Its notes are chamomile, grassy notes, green apple, petitgrain, violet, and rose.
It just smells fresh which is the only thing I will say about it. Its freshness makes me love it so much so I will also say it has character.
It is a divine nostalgic scent that just fits the summer perfectly. It has longevity and the sillage is not bad too. Definitely a favourite.
11. Montale Sweet Peony Eau de Parfum.
So, flowers? Yes, yes and yes. It is a soft floral scent that captures your attention from the beginning to the very end. It was launched in 2017 as a women’s fragrance.
It is a very modern scent. Its top note is peony, middle notes are rose, peach, coconut and jasmine and the base notes are sandalwood, vanilla, coffee and cloves.
I mean for just these notes I am sold. Its main accords are floral, rose, vanilla.
Fresh, powdery, sweet, fruity, white floral. It starts out very strong and is quite overwhelming at first but in a few seconds when it settles, it transforms into one of the best scents that I know.
It exudes feminine energy. It also has great sillage and is long lasting. Surely, it should be on your list of scents to try out.
12. Montale Sweet Flowers Eau de Parfum.
For this one, I will start with the sillage and longevity. Amazing! One of the best I have seen for Montale fragrances. It is sensual and addictive.
You can smell it all day long and still be drawn to it time and time again. It was launched in 2018 as an Amber vanilla fragrance for women.
Its top notes are cotton candy, white peach, ginger, pepper and bergamot, middle notes are tuberose, patchouli, jasmine, sambac and violet and the base notes are Madagascar vanilla, white musk, sandalwood, oakmoss and cedar.
I know you’re probably thinking it smells like a teenager in the early 2000s. I can guarantee you it doesn’t. It does not smell cheap. It does amazingly well for itself so try this beautiful fragrance.
13. Montale Aoud Melody.
It was launched in 2014 as a fragrance for both men and women. Pierre Montale is the nose behind it.
The top notes of the fragrance are agarwood (oud), elemi, saffron, leather and cloves, middle notes are rose, ylang-ylang and jasmine and the base notes are amber, sandalwood and musk.
So, this one is more for the men than the women despite popular belief but it is still a great perfume if you want to try it out.
It is very flowery but also musky and earthy and is a great scent for the summer. It also a unique scent that most likely does not smell like something you know.
It is long lasting and has good sillage. It does smell like roses but not in a soft way. Anyway, overall, it is a scent I can get used to and love it either way.
14. Montale Pure Gold Eau de Parfum.
Pure gold was launched in 2009 for women. Pierre Montale is the nose responsible for it.
Its top notes are apricot and mandarin orange, middle notes are jasmine, neroli and orange blossom and base notes are musk, patchouli and vanilla.
The fragrance’s main accords are white floral, musky, citrus, powdery, fruity, sweet, vanilla, and woody.
So, I was a little bit unsure about this one because when I smelt it the first time, it felt like it was too much going on.
It is not so great at first but be patient, when you spray it, after like a minute, it is divine. Anyway, maybe first try out samples if available and if you like it, buy it.
It can be a confusing one but I like it. The longevity is great because it can last for about 8 to 10 hours. Its sillage is good too so try it.
15. Montale Honey Aoud.
This fragrance was launched in 2015 for both women and men. But, today is about women, isn’t it?
So, ladies, this is a gem right here. The nose behind it is Pierre himself. I know honey is an overwhelming smell for some but it is so minimal in this scent in a good way.
You do get a lot of honey on the first spray but, hey, it smells delicious. Its main accords are honey, oud, cinnamon, sweet, amber, floral, vanilla, leather. What is not to love about this scent? And, it is not overly done. Everything blends well together.
It is a bit strong for some but like I said earlier, most of the Montale perfumes are, so, this is for ladies who love strong scents.
It has longevity and strong sillage as well. Do yourself a favour and try this perfume.
16. Montale Oudmazing Eau de Parfum.
This Eau de parfum is a fruity scent. Its top notes are agarwood, fig, pear, Sicilian orange and Sicilian bergamot so it is a strong and dark fruity scent unlike the lighter ones.
Its middle notes are patchouli, orris and Egyptian jasmine and its base notes are grapes, Madagascar vanilla, leather and white musk.
Its main accords are fruity, sweet, oud, vanilla, woody, leather, powdery, patchouli, citrus and animalic.
It has strong sillage and it is long lasting so it is definitely worth the money. It is such a great scent that it appeals to all the sexes.
If you love flowery scents and are unsure what to go with, this is the one. Strong but not nauseating.
The name is a bit misleading though because the oud was almost inexistent and was definitely overpowered by the fruity flowery and woody scent.
Although, I still recommend that you do not spray too much. I know at the first spray it might seem like too much but trust me, it has a beautiful smell.
To all who love fruity and flowery fragrances, you are going to love it.
17. Montale Vanilla Extasy Eau de Parfum.
This beautiful scent was created in 2008 by the nose, Pierre Montale. Leaning towards how it is described on the Montale website, the scent creates extreme desirability for whoever wears it.
It reveals notes of vanilla, ylang-ylang and jasmine. It also has a bit of apricot, sandalwood and mahogany. So, it is earthy without being too musky.
Its top note being vanilla, it immediately smells amazing and draws you in from the beginning. Then when it settles, you get a bit of muskiness that blends well with skin.
It does have longevity and its sillage is quite strong. It is one of the Montale favourites. Try it if you like a blend of various flowery scents that you recognize but not quite. I like the mystery.
It is strong and those who prefer lighter perfumes should not attempt to use it.
So, there you go, the best Montale fragrances for women. And you are welcome. Great perfumes for amazing ladies.
