This starts out with a blast of carnation and then, thankfully, the aoud kicks in. Mmm....The carnation is still here, but the aoud grounds it and definitely gets rid of often-found powdery note...

I don't know how Montale could go this wrong. This is strawberry koolade powder. Ewww.

A grown up, striking, non- 'ultra sweet' vanilla scent that turns a little smokey for depth after a while .It's wonderful ,soft but lingering. Beautiful chic perfume.

Resinous, herbal, slightly bitter. I'd call this a unisex. It makes me feel like I'm outside, in the woods (daytime), at the end of a hot summer. Love it!

I'll say that I would buy this product, but only because I would be happy to receive it as a gift. It's not compelling enough for me to actually go out and buy for myself. Not because there's...

This is not up to Montale's usual standards. However, it may be a way for them to market to the younger market. The oud is very underplayed in this and dissipates quickly to reveal the smell of...

As ever, Montale has created yet another masterpiece. Most citruses fail to last or morph into something toxic. This however is glorious. It opens with strong dark green lime, nothing light or...

Of the ambers out there, this is certainly one of the best. It's got a nutty, spicy richness with a soft, greenish lift to it. It's on the dryish side, and it's not vanillic or too sweet, but...

I have a sample for this and I was eagerly looking forward to it. I am sorry( no disrepect to all those who love this scent ) but this has got to be one of the worst scents I have ever tried . I...

Montale’s Embruns d’Essouira is a refreshing marine/algae scent that I enjoyed very much. My first thought upon sniffing was thank goodness it was not another “faux beachy” scent, ie. another...

Well, probably I will not be popular saying this, but as much as I appreciate other Montale scents, I did not like this one.
The first time I sniffed it was on one "mouillette" directly in the...

The description sounded exquisite and I was totally ready to hop on the train for this. But I sampled instead of buying unsniffed and I'm really glad I did. It's really pez-like, except that's...

Starts out as a bright rose floral, passes through a soapy, sharp stage and ends up creamy and pretty. Lasts well. I will use up my sample for sure, but I many not seek out any more.

I am currently searching for a good almond scent so I decided I had to try this one. The first spritz reminded me so much of this awful DEET (a nasty kind of poison) bug spray I used to have to...

I need this, it´s stunning. You always read that perfume is described as syrupy, well this actually matches the description. it starts out almost too sweet then the spices and eastern smells kick...

This reminds me of D&G's Light Blue except SdC is better.
I'm not keen on these type of scents. It reminds me of green herbs, rosemary and the sea.

This is really unique. The Lime is very front and centre and does not dissipate. Very tricky to do. Most citrus scents are notoriously short lived. I LOVE this. As with all Aouds it opens...

From the comments here it just goes to show how individual everyone's chemistry is. When I first applied I got a full on rose and I LOVE the Montale roses (Ta'if and Queen Rose especially). Then...

Wait, I was wrong and I apologize to my little sample of White Aoud. Maybe it's because it's cold, or maybe I just wanted something different, but I stumbled back upon my bag of samples the other...

This was a disappointment. With a name like Vanilla Extasy, I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, but I figured it's a Montale. . .
I had hoped this would be an exotic, spiced vanilla, but...
