Aoud Ambre

I agree 100% with Roge' and love his idea about "boxing gloves". It is indeed a war scent lol. You are immediately hit with this strong mix which I found wonderful, unexpected and really spooky at the beginning. 5 minutes later I started doubting how daring I should become to ever think of wearing this in public. They are not the same, but another scent that made me feel the exact same way was Kurkdjian's Absolue pour le soir. You get amazed, seduced... but suddenly panic: Would I dare? Well, I've decided I would! In my case this is total love... For women this screams SEXY and for men it is definitely harder to wear (there's something lipstickish or found in many female offerings... can't put my fingers on what it is...) but I believe it screams HOT nevertheless! I can't think of this scent without linking it to erotic thoughts. Just like the Kurkdjian's. Please sample first, I don't want any insults in my mail after failed blindbuys, it certainly won't please most people. It's for the intrepid who are not afraid of powerhouses and of being looked at and desired all night long. Well... I'm not one of those but let's face it: I could well start today! Thanks Scorpiosheep for this wonderful Montale, it's been a real surprise since it has nothing to do with any other of their offerings as far as I know... I keep getting hooked with this house!!!

For ena86 whether this is more suitable for a woman or a man depends on your taste in oriental fragrances. After the initial application and for around an hour I smell the amber and rose and a sweet scent. After that it is a very dry incense aroma the rest of the day. On my skin that's about 8 hours. For me there is no sweet ambery effect which is present in so many orientals. Of course everybodys skin is different and you just have to try it. As they say, your results and mileage may vary. This is one of Montale's many ouds which for some reason has stayed under the radar. I love this version. Great by itself or to layer with a sweeter oriental such as Opium or Boucheron's Jaipur Homme.

it is the percfect aristocratic and royal perfume type ! very gorgeous, very heavy, do not put it in high temperatures you could die suffocated ! it is perfect for great events and ceremonies, and so it could seem a little bit " too much " in every day life days ! but it is the very oriental too much style lol if u like to be too much put it morning and evening, but open the windows anywhere you could be excuse my english

A surprisingly aromatic amber. Verdant and ever so light minty, camphoric bursts of golden zest. Moist, un-cut pine. A rose that is merely a florist's whisper amidst sweet droplets of resin. Somehow warmed salty air elements mingle to enliven scarcely metallic chills of brisk earth enshrined bedrock. High-noon sunbeams warming florals and tree-lined paths.

Amazing amazing amazing!!! Honestly when I wear it everyone starts asking about it!
