Red Aoud... yum. Starts off strong, spicy-rosey-cinnamony, with a heavy and dynamite wood base. Seven hours later, the drydown (soft, warm, cinnamon musk(?) aoud) is still going strong. This is...

I didn't get any lime, just lots of gorgeous aoud. There is a very slight rose note in this, but it isn't nearly as strong as the Red or White Aoud. This turned a little soapy after a while. It...

Horrible off note (burnt plastic?) when first applied, then it softens out to become an artificial rose note, with an underlay of cheap incense -- not nice on any level. I had to scrub this one...

This is indeed a VERY sweet perfume, however, as with all Montales, it is so skillfully blended that I didn't mind. No medicinal aoud notes here, I believe it is somewhat foody and some of the...

Patchouli leaves is the patchouli pefume par excellence! Have tried quite a few samples of patchouli based perfumes and thought I would never smell anything that resembled the real thing....

I cannot detect any difference between Chocolate Greedy and CSP Amour de Cacao, therefore I cannot justify spending $125 for it. It smells nice, like sweet cocoa puffs but CSP is about half the...

This might be a 2 instead of a 1 ... except that I have a headache, and I'm pretty sure this fragrance gave it to me. If I decide I'm being unfair later, I'll bump it to a 2.

Other reviewers have written splendid reviews of this. It is not quite sweet enough for me personally. A little too much earth.

A herbally aoud fragrance, although it is far from being a masculine-only scent. I like it! Not overpowering.

Maybe I'd have to suck it up and give this more time, but frankly, half an hour of this was more than enough to send me scrubbing. It is old-fashioned, sharp, and powdery in the same way musty...

Montale Jasmin Full seems more like lemon blossoms or mock orange
blossoms - the scent of southern California evenings in the springtime -
just delightful! I'd like to get some more of this but...

The name of this perfume describes it well. It is a woodsy vanilla, that is very different from the usual sweet vanilla fragrances that are out there. It also has a touch of incense that makes it...

I have never smelled the tiare flower more beautifully interpreted in a fragrance. Soft, rich, and creamy, with a lovely hint of coconut that does not overpower the fragrance. Wonderful!

I love all that is Montale, especially the Aouds. If you like Black, you should LOVE white. It has the same intensity of the Black but is creamier and sweeter, which is a nice contrast to the...

Nauseatingly medicinal and astringent upon application. Actively unpleasant. It shocked me by going on to evolve from this ghastly beginning into a glorious, deep, long lasting amber, truly one...
