A sophisticated study, in contrast, Montale Wood & Spices opens with a cool wisp of incense that feels airy and luminous before gliding into creamy woods where sandalwood and vetiver show both polished smoothness and earthy bite. Underneath, a refined oud hums in the base, adding depth without heaviness, for a confident woody spicy signature that feels elegant, enduring, and unmistakably Montale.

Story and Positioning
An early pillar in the house’s woody spice universe, Wood & Spices showcases Montale’s signature materials in a purposeful, minimalist frame, leaning on incense lift and a creamy wood core with a gentle oud undertone. It sits comfortably within the brand’s Spices family while appealing to anyone who favors refined woody signatures with quiet power and long wear. Wearers often describe its vibe as a clean yet plush woody cologne feel, which some compare to the elegant freshness found in classic masculine styles.
Bottle and Design
Presented in Montale’s lightweight aluminum flacon in a high shine silver finish, the bottle is tall and cylindrical with a smooth shoulder and a secure metal clip at the sprayer. A square emblem charm hangs at the collar, the logo is printed cleanly on the face, and the bottle slips into a branded drawstring pouch for travel-friendly storage while protecting the juice from light.
