    Firstly, I don't understand the reviews which say it's a headache-inducing or cloying because it's not at all. It's made of high-quality ingredients. I’m from the Middle East and I know what a...

    Brought this up to three stars from two stars. Oddly I perceive this as smelling better when residual scent from my wrist is dabbed on the back of the neck. Normally, if a scent is strong or I am...

    I've tried a number of Montale's aouds, and while they're each lovely in their own right, Black Aoud is by far my favorite and has worked its way into my everyday fragrances. On my skin, it's a...

    Absolutely mental, but a classic. I wore this to a wedding once. That was probably a weird thing to do, but it was the sort of wedding where the bride wore a Vivienne Westwood black dress and...

    This is intense and purely sensual. If you wait about 30 minutes from the initial camphor blast opening, you suddenly get incense, spice, sweet yet dry wood and real, full bloom roses. Very strong...

    Hold onto your hats, cause this one packs quite a wallop. Amazing, dirty, delicious aoud--but spray it on with a light hand because it has heavyweight sillage and lasting power. Get it on clothes...

    The Truth? Wearing Montale Black Aoud is like having an impossibly gorgeous woman cross the room, softly kiss you, and then throw a drink in your face. It is hot and it is BOLD. You will LOVE...

    Montale has created a beast and Black Aoud is thy name! Raw, unbridled sexuality in a little black bottle. This is as subtle as a catagory 5 hurricane with just about as much humanity. This...

    Black Aoud is an adventure in a bottle. I love White Aoud as well, but it's a little too "vanilla" in the drydown, even though it is an interesting, weird-ish vanilla. When I first tried Black...

    I realize that, per se, this costs the earth. However I ticked the price at less than the earth because, as with many Montales (and none more than this), a little goes way way way way far. I...

    Oh, no, this one does not work on me at all. It is dark and heavy and the rose is *so* cloying and overhwelming. I tried it a few times but it just doesn't do anything on me worth waiting for. ...

    A sweet fragrance friend sent me a decant of this, and I'm so grateful she did! Now, my chemistry is such that things get very sweet and syrupy once on - even those that are supposed to be dry....

    I love the onset of this one. Rich, deep dark rose, medicinal, exotic Aoud, resinous labdanum (one of my favorite notes in perfumery). But it doesn't last this way. The labdanum fades much too...

    Strange, how our experience of perfume varies. I suppose it has to do with body chemistry, and olfactory memories... I have worn Black Aoud for quite a while, but let me say - it has to be just...

    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...
