    Montale is one house from which I expect absolutely nothing except surprise, although at times this surprise takes the form of unintentional perversion. Whether this is good or bad is up to the...

    This is a nice fragrance...I am on a gourmand trip right now, so I'm collecting vanillas, almonds. ect. This is not a "true' almond in my opinion...it's more of an almond candy, amaretto,...

    Am I the only person who really loves this? I really love it too! For me AO is a smoky almond vanilla scent, just wonderful. I certainly don't smell DEET and cannot recall the scent of calamine...

    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...

    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,...

    I have a sample of this, the first Montale I've tried. I think it's rather pretty, in a comforting, soft way. On me, it's not at all sexy or confident, but it's perfect for days like today when...

    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 had high hopes for this, as I love almond notes, but as others have noted, the almond is really "off"--the reviewer below who said burnt plastic is right on, imo. It's sweet burnt plastic--blech!

    Waaaayyyy too sweet. I need more almond and less amaretto + bandaid. This may work well on someone else's skin, but on mine, it turns to "big scary monster."

    Wow. This I never would have tried on my own. Almond and vanilla? How original! And unisex? Not for me. But this would be the be-all end-all for me were it not for that band-aid note. It's...

    Montale Amande Orientale is MUCH softer than one would expect of a Montale. It's a very soft, soft, almond/vanilla, more dry than sweet with a subtle smoky whisper. It is made of very good...

    Wow. My chemistry just <i>hates</i> this, and it's not a quiet, passive aggressive hate. It's loud. It's almost terrifying that my skin could dislike a scent so much. It's not one of those bad...

    I smelt the almonds first, with delicious big, overblown lilies. I know the vanilla must be there because DH says it smells like vanilla ice-cream, but I can't seem to separate it from the rest....

    I liked this very much at first - the lovely, soft almond blended so well with the rich, sweet vanilla - but after about 10 minutes I got the dreaded medicinal note. What *is* that, anyway? If the...

    What an exceptionally strange scent! It starts out with something of a marzipan overkill, like a ton of Farnesiana, several truckloads of almond pastries, and a few pounds of confectioner's sugar...

    The problem with the Montales is that they don't sell samples and there are no distributors in the U.S. (for now at least). It's a large line and so, naturally, not all will be appealing to...

    Barbie Doll head. That's what I smell: plasticky, acrilycky Barbie Doll head. I think there's some almond in there but it's locked up in that factory-produced, empty head. Imagine that! A...
