15 Top Montale Perfume For Women in 2022

Montale perfumes produces men's, women's and unisex fragrances made with rare oils like incense, oud (agarwood), cedar, sandalwood and many other materials used by Arabian perfumers. In this article we focus on Montale perfume for women and on unisex scents suitable for women to wear.

The house of Parfums Montale was founded by Pierre Montale in 2003, a Parisian who spent some time living in the Middle East and creating perfumes for nobility, kings and queens. When Pierre Montale returned to Paris from Saudi Arabia, he offered his amazing oriental creations to the Western world as well - with their mysterious East-Arabia theme found in each of the collection's bottles.

Montale fragrances are created using natural materials in large concentrations to make them long-lasting and intense. The aluminum bottle was specially designed so the precious essences would be protected from light, allowing for a longer scent life than traditional glass containers. Their great longevity and strong sillage make Montale for her perfumes excellent for clubbing or nights out on the town.
