I ordered a sample of this from Luckyscent, and I am so glad that I tried it. It has been a long time since I found a new chypre to love, and this one is a treasure. It started off cool and mossy...

What a study in contrasts: Medicinal, sharp woods paired with dewy rose petals. I'll admit that the opening blast of Aoud scared me off at first: It almost reminded me of paint thinner or paint...

I was a little skeptical about White Aoud since I had fallen in love with Montale's aoud line and figured this was just "aoud lite" for people who didn't like the medicinal edge of the others. But...

The first time I pried open my sample of White Aoud, I clumsily spilled most of it all over my couch. It was almost a week before the fog cleared, and even longer before I could think of...

When I first tried a few of the rose-aoud samples from Montale, I liked this but it was quickly overshadowed by Black Aoud, which I adore. I recently got a decant of it though, and it's very nice...

Okay, I will try to describe this one as best as I can. It starts with a blast of dark chocolate and orange to me (much like those dark-chocolate oranges you can get at Christmas, the ones that...

The rose is less prominent in this fragrances that other Montale creations, in my opinion. Vanilla and a hint of amber are key players, almost as strong as the rose although seamlessly blended -...

A really nice vanilla. Dry but on the flower edge. Neither cheap nor girly.

This is a really nice Aoud blended with dreamy exotics scents. Sweet and sexy at the same time. Young but not teenage. Oud but not heavy. Notes are: Peach Blossom, Ylang-ylang, Orangetree flowers,...

I have not bought it. I mean 300 euros is a lot! BUT that is a perfect one. It is not too dry, not too sweet not cloying like some Santal can be. I believe them when they say it is the finest...

My definite next purchase in the Oud line by Montale. Gorgeous earthy smokiness... note of "smoked with burned wood" and exotic plants. Just awesome. I need it!!!

I love it and still I will give it "only" 4 lippies. Because it is greatly boozy at first and awesme in the dry-down but there is this "in-the-middle" phase that I don't enjoy. So it's like:...
