I think I've always secretly longed to befriend a pipe smoker, just so I would be able to smell pipe tobacco often. Sweet Oriental Dream has satisfied my pipe-sniffing urges. One tiny spray...

This is an earthy and dirty patchouli with a boozy opening and a rich resinous dry down with a hint of amber. Montale's Patchouli Leaves is very unisex, but not after-shave-y on my skin. I think...

I might enjoy a dry cocoa fragrance, but this is just like rubbing a candy bar on my wrists. Too rich, too sweet, too much.

There's Oud in this? All I get is rose, and a fairly unspectacular rose at that. Nothing bad about it, but for this price and with this name, I need to smell the Oud. If you're going to charge me...

Oh. Damn. I've been obsessively curious about this scent for nigh on a year now. I finally got the chance to smell it at the Montale shop in Paris -- on a card, as I was decked out in Black Aoud...

Chypre Fruite is lovely in it's realm, and I've no quarrel with it. I'm not even sure my low rating is fair in a sense. You see, my quarrel with it is more a matter of my expectations than it's...

Who wouldn't want to try this after reading these reviews? I loved White Aoud (my husband is an oude-hater, though, so I don't own it), but the Black version just gets warmer and increasingly...

Black Aoud is *the* most beautiful perfume I've ever experienced. I say *experienced* rather than sniffed or smelled. That's because encountering Black Aoud is an experience. I've never said...

I have a mad crush on this perfume! And, it loves me back. I only want more of that "iodine-like", "envelope glue", "medicinal" aoud note. Among all the Montale Aouds I have tried, this one has...

Vanilla rose - to me something about it makes me want to compare it to the various loukhoum scents out there. Somehow in the same ballpark, but while loukhoums are too sweet for me, this one...

Sample received from Lucky Scent - and I have to confess that I wonder if I got punk'd because this smells like laundry soap on me. Quite *nice* laundry soap - rose castile, I'd say - though it...

I so wish I could love this one, but it really is too over the top for my liking. Again, this Montale is definitely meant for someone much more mature, and of the opposite sex. It's a shame, such a...

I really, really want to like this one, especially given the price of it, but I just can't do it. I feel this is something a 70 year old man may wear, but this certainly isn't fit for a 17 year-old...

This is a bright, sweet orange scent on a base of musk, with a tiny bit of spice that's similar to the subtle "oriental" accord in Crystal Flowers. It feels rounder, fuller, and less sharp than...

You have to love raw animalic leather notes to love this one. This is very smoky and very strong and potent. The Aoud is not as strong as it is in most other Aouds. This is a nice leather scent....

I love this fragrance. It is by far the best in my wardrobe, which includes several other Montale's. I like the dry-down in particular because it is very reminiscent of Musc Ravageur from my...

I think Vanille Absolu is one of the best Montale's I own. It isn't too terribly different from Chypre Vanille, only lacking the Almond note, but its still good. I would test before buying, that's...
