MONTALE “ARABIANS MUSK”
Following the remarkable success of Arabians Tonka, Montale proudly unveils the newest addition to its Arabians collection: Arabians Musk. This fragrance, while staying true to the captivating magic of the Orient, shines a spotlight on the sensual and mysterious essence of Musk.
Just like the previous creations from Montale, Arabians Musk is more than a scent; it’s a journey through the Moroccan desert, where each moment of the voyage offers as much enchantment as the final destination itself.
Arabians Musk transports you to a summer evening on a road that winds through the Atlas Mountains, leading toward the Sahara desert. The air is tinged with the familiar, glycerine-like scent of leather care products, reminiscent of the horse-riding gear from a nearby stable. Not far from here, at the foot of the Atlas, lies a stable owned by a dear friend.
Here, she cares for the legendary horse CALAFETE, a stunning figure recognized worldwide from Montale’s Arabians Tonka campaign.
As the daylight begins to fade, giving way to the mystical blue hour you make a stop in front of an endless palm grove. The dates scattered on the ground have nearly caramelised under the scorching sun of the day, releasing a deep, intoxicating aroma. Nearby, an oasis emerges, surrounded by orange blossoms whose delicate fragrance fills the twilight air.This journey, like the fragrance itself, is a metaphor: sometimes, the destination matters less than the path taken, and every moment along the way becomes a source of joy and wonder.
The bottle of Arabians Musk is an elegant work of art. In contrast to the deep-toned bottle of Arabians Tonka, this new release features a soft lacquered brown, reminiscent of the smooth sweetness of ripe dates, but also of the delicate white flowers found in the Moroccan oases. This lighter hue reflects the balance between strength and softness, subtly connecting the robustness of horse-riding leather gear to the delicate sensuality of the fragrance.
The bottle’s soft, glycerine-like finish mirrors the tactile smoothness of leather cared for with the finest oils, a nod to the world of horses and their noble presence. This smoothness, combined with a warm, luminous brown, evokes both the sweetness of the dates and the light floral notes of orange blossom, creating an object that is as sensual to the touch as the fragrance is to the senses.
Arabians Musk is not merely a fragrance; it is an invitation to a sensory journey where each olfactory note is a new step on the path to discovery. Inspired by the magical Moroccan nights and the noble equestrian world, Arabians Musk is a captivating blend of musky sensuality and floral, sugary notes, creating a deeply luxurious and evocative experience.
The bottle, with its soft lacquered brown hue, reminiscent of white flowers and sun-ripened dates, perfectly encapsulates the contrast between the rugged nobility of purebred horses and the delicate sweetness of the scent. Arabians Musk is a celebration of freedom, sensuality, and elegance, reminding us that the beauty of the journey is found as much in the moments along the way as in the final destination
Pierre Montale had a date with destiny 20 years ago in the far reaches of the Kingdom of Arabia.
Inspired by the beauty and hidden secrets of the Eastern world, between learning process and pure marvel, he composes with confidential and millennial olfactory materials such as rose, incense, amber, cedar, precious woods and a thousand other wonderful scents like happy ointments or love potions.
On the range of Pierre Montale’s most popular scents rises the spirit of the oud, keeper of traditions at the gates to the east. Pierre Montale will become the first ambassador for the West. Subjugated by his infinite combinatorial properties, Pierre Montale became the first ambassador of oud for the west.
Back to his homeland in 2003, he presents his first creations under the aegis of the new eponymous house. A unique olfactory immersion revealing a perfection only accessible with our eyes closed.
The Oud: woods of god
On the range of Pierre Montale’s most popular scents rises the spirit of the oud, keeper of traditions at the gates to the east. Fragrant Asian ointment commonly used in the gulf region and Saudi Arabia, this scent is extracted from the oud tree. A secret millennia process kept away from light during several years.
Subjugated by his infinite combinatorial properties, Pierre Montale became the first exporter of oud for the west. He will then compose more than a hundred of timeless fragrances.
Travels, encounters and dazzling, from the desert to the domes of the citadel, experience the original emotion of this tireless traveler, who radiates silently in the first film of Montale Paris.
