Aoud Flowers

Wonderful scent, chock full of aoud, rose and beautiful geranium. This is very masculine, pungent (in a good way) and not for the beginner. Far dry down is not as good as the opening and mid, but still nice. Like most of Montale's early aoud bombs, this is a statement maker. I oddly detect a slight blueberry note. Can be worn in all seasons, office safe if sprayed lightly, easier wear than the standard bearer, Black Aoud.

I like this, I like this very, very much. It is clearly a unisex and would be suited for females with no doubt. The rose and aoud combo is lovely, geranium gives this green and interesting edge making me want to sniff this all the time. Of course as usually with Montale's rose-aoud perfumes - silage and longevity is superb. Unfortunately it is way too sharp for the first hour, such a pity, but I would never wait an hour for a perfume to get wearable for me. Yes, it is very beautiful for the first hour as well, but because of the monster silage and sharpness I had to keep my wrist way away from my nose as I did not want to sneeze all the time.

A beauty indeed . I totaly like this .. To me this is a Dark Rose deligth. kind off oily.. i guess this is the way i will know the Oud.. Kind off oily rosy. like a sheet sprincleed whit rose pettals .. there is a woody feal to it and a bit off musk. i can not detect so much Geranium. (thank G.. ) i dont like that to much in perfumes.. To me this is not masculin , but rather grown up ladylike I like the almost smoky dark feal this rose gets whit the Oud. totaly love it actualy.. This is one off the best i have tryed from Montales so far

This one is commercialised for men but it leans feminine to me, so much that my mum bought it the day after it smelled it on me. the opening is very very harsh nor for the masses, almost like cheap toilet cleaner, very synthetic opening. the drydown though, it is wow sexy oudy and a tint of rose very famouse in montale fragrances. Longevity is 12 hrs beast mode with good projection 3hrs. To me it leans totally feminine though. 8/10

An immediate opening of bitter geranium, medicinal rose and leather. I guess these are flowers, but if you are looking for a sweet Dior floral summer vibe- this is not it. This is unisex towards male. Confident, leathery, cold, with some oud and musk. Minimal sweetness. Beautiful scent but the name is a bit deceiving :)
