This is a nice fragrance...I am on a gourmand trip right now, so I'm collecting vanillas, almonds. ect. This is not a "true' almond in my opinion...it's more of an almond candy, amaretto,...

Lovely loukhoum! The gorgeous rosa centifolia lasts a long time, and is very prominent and though it is sweet gourmand the rose lifts this to another level. Ultimate comfort fragrance, perfect for...

Another sample from Luckyscent. I had to get this off me asap. I don't mind sweet fragrances but (at least on my skin) this smelled like a bubblegum scented marker on me..sharp and sweet and just...

I ordered a sample of this because I usually like patchouli. Wow. This is not your average patchouli. There's something green & sharp in here that did NOT mesh well with my skin chemistry....

This is not a gardenia scent, as many have described it. The fragrance notes are tiaré, ylang-ylang, vanilla, coconut milk, jasmine, and roses; I suspect that the interplay of ylang and vanilla...

A very subtle and nicely done gardenia scent. The Tiare in this is very subtle, think Fracas' infant sister. There is a sweet, but nutty coconut accord on which this all floats as well as a good...

This is really different. It opens with a deep, resinous, aromatic accord that is reminiscent of eucalyptus. Really soothing yet invigorating. It also has a somewhat marine/ozone note next and...

This sample came to me with several others and had leaked. Before I opened the envelope, I thought "God, what a hideous stench!" This is gaggingly sweet and not in a nice way (think Sweet...

I usually don't wear sweet fragrances, and am bored by obvious accords.
Intense Tiaré might be both sweet and obvious – but it is so beautiful.
It is magic, comforting and never overpowering....

This is LOVE ! Yes, being Montale, there is Aoud in this but I can smell the white musk and there's a slight methloated hit from nutmeg- the amber and woods come together and it's quite seamless....

When I first applied this sample, I thought the supplier must have put water in by mistake. I smelled absolutely nothing. Then, after about 10 minutes, it starts to bloom. This smells like clean...

Aoud is difficult- it's so in your face at first spray and abit strange , I know - it's nearly alarming. White Aoud is gentler on the Aoud but it is beautiful .I don't know why Aoud smells so...

Lots of vanilla woody undertones with the medicinal almost metallic aoud scent. Pretty linear-- doesn't change much from squirt to drydown. Not for me-- just too much of that low sweet base for me.

This is sweet but different - it's a little out on a tangent - abit gourmand but so lovely and so expensive smelling. It is expensive ! It's long lasting as are most Montales .Thumbs up !

Received a sample of this in a fantastic swap. Here's my usual disclaimer - I've got the weirdest skin chemistry ever - whatever is sweet in a scent zings up to unimaginable proportions. I...

A sweet fragrance friend sent me a decant of this, and I'm so grateful she did!
Now, my chemistry is such that things get very sweet and syrupy once on - even those that are supposed to be dry....
