This is a lovely aoud, but probably not as wearable as White Aoud. This, to me, has a predominant leather note, and even though that's a note I would usually run from, Red Aoud is very pleasant on...

Well, these Montales are not cheap, but they are worth every penny. This was the first of the aouds that I tried, and I loved it before I even got the top off the decant. Some people seem to have...

I received a sample of this and I'm normally a lover of sweet oriental fragrances. But this was just too heavy, heady and irritating as once it hits the skin it is difficult to wash off! Sod's law...

Lovers of "pink cupcake" and "vanilla candy floss" scents will be very disappointed. But if you like non-foody grown-up vanilla fragrances you'll like this one. The vanilla is very much there......

Vanilla with nasty undertones. I can't distinguish what they are, and I don't want to put on more to find out.

This just smells so much like straight vanilla....*nothing* interesting going on in this one unfortunately.

I had high hopes for his, being a jasmine lover and having had good luck so far from Montale.
Nothing wrong with this fragrance--it's just very boring, mild, and weak on me. Almost no...

I should love this for it's name alone. I am a true chocolate connoisseur and only wear gourmand fragrances, so naturally I was excited when this first came out. That excitement came to a...

This is not one of my favorite vanilla scents although I can see how it would be appealing to those who prefer a less foody vanilla. Notes are ylang-ylang (which almost always destroys a scent for...

This is really gorgeous. Usually I detest ANYTHING patchouli, but Montale has taken what I usually think of as rootbeer and dirt and turned it into a creamy smooth, subtle, sweet mystery. This...

Of the Montales I've tried this one is the best - probably because it has spices instead of the usual roses. It is smoother, doesn't have the rough edges of the other Oudhs. Lasts well too. I loved...

This is one of the very best rose scents I have yet tried. The next best is Creed's Fleur de The Rose Bulgare. Both of these are true rose, very linear, but it is refreshing to get a rose scent...

I am of the opinion that some scent lines are meant for those of a certain age and level of sophistication and Montale is one of those lines. I know that sounds narrow-minded but too bad. ...

Great sophisticated, adult vanilla! It might even be a little too sophisticated for me, but I have to give it a full thumbs up. Wonderfully a vanilla, but obviously a chypre too! House of...

This is very nice, but I can't give it a full five lippies. First, for the good: it is a wonderfully sweet vanilla/almond scent. If you like them sweet, like Botrytis and Sweet Oriental Dream,...

Oh I really wanted to love this. I was looking to find a next-in-line replacement for my SL Rahat Loukhoum, since I'm burning through my bell jar way too quickly and I don't have any huge plans of...

There is a stinging, hot quality to this fragrance on my skin; I sense the dry red pepper, but over rose. However, there is supposedly no rose in it. I'm also sensing a dirtiness, probably from...

Black Aoud is a very dark, very heavy, velvety rose fragrance, accented with dark woods, a bit of leather, some incense, and patchouli. There are mainly top-note traces of citrus. I think it's got...

This is the most perfumey perfume I own. I'm usually into skin scents but I fell for this floral fast. It is VERY sweet, so if you're not into sweet skip this. To me it has an opaque-ness to it...
