Aoud Night

Aoud Night by Montale Reviewed from 100ml bottle Summary: Dark, earthy, and elemental with touches of sweetness and a slightly animalic weight. As others have noted, Aoud Night bears a striking similarity to Ermenegildo Zegna’s immortal Indonesian Oud but is “the same” for only a short interval after the drydown begins. When sprayed, Aoud Night comes on with the sweetness anchoring the heavy oud in comparison to how EZIO rides a wave of cool moisture. The Zegna has a far more “polished” air about it than the Montale; however, Aoud Night is just as enjoyable for its rawer, heavier, drier aspects. It still must be said, though, that Aoud Night really is astonishingly similar to Indonesian Oud and is more like Montale’s take on its central concept than an empty knock-off. Technical: the performance is strong, even by the standards set by the more well-known Montale scents. Two sprays go on very heavily and project the sweeter, wetter notes first and the warmer, spicier ones shortly into the drying phase. Spices and the comforting idea of burning wood come through for the duration of its long life. The rose and oud combination strikes the same ideal balance as with Indonesian Oud when on the skin and leaves mostly the woody oud in clothing. Longevity is stellar with full whiffs still coming eight hours into wearing it. Colors evoked: black, gold, dark brown, all with a smooth, matte surface (compare this with the polished evenness and deluxe-feeling balance of the Zegna). Musical accompaniment: Budos Band - “Golden Dunes,” Down - “His Majesty The Desert,” Nile - “To Dream Of Ur” Timing: the warmth and seriousness would dictate that this is a winter scent although the heat of warmer months brings out the spiciness and funk of the animalic elements. Nighttimes or dark, cloudy days only; this is not a sunny day fragrance.

Classic oud and rose fragrance. Very pleasant. Enjoy the dry down after 1 hour better than the initial fragrance. It is a little sharp and "cleaning agent" at first but quickly softens to excellence. The rose is pleasant but not over powering. Can smell with almost every breathe. An Egyptian friend sat down next to me today and said I smelled like a rich sultan with a solid gold watch (sorry, just a white guy with an Apple watch, oh well)! Thanks to ojain101438 for idea of spraying clothes in a box. Update 9/20: The more I wear this the more I detect a slight civet note but it is subtle and inoffensive, if you can believe that. It just gives the oud a little more bite and keeps you interested long enough to take another sniff. Overall really enjoyable to wear this fragrance and continue smelling it throughout the day.

Beautiful Fall/Winter Fragrance. Super Powerful Strong, and Beast Mode Fragrance. Starts with good citrusy vibe that gives naturality to the fragrance, after that it has a very harsh and synthetic Rose/Oud Combo. After certain time the Rose/Oud gets very good and Still and in that time the Leather and the Sandalwood comes out. Very good Fragrance it gives so much Santal Royal Vibes. Sillage and Projection are very Powerful and Strong. Everybody will notice you even if the room is very big. If you like Rose/Oud Combo with some Citruses and Musk that fragrance is for you. (Test before purchasing). Lasting: 10/10 (10+ Hours) Sillage: 11/10 (Spreaded in every room that you enter) Projection: 10/10 (5-7 meters around you everybody will notice you) Total: 10/10 Fragrance.

What can I say, people will notice you definitely and this fragrance leaves a nice trail behind you, wear it today for the first time at work and the compliments never stopped, I am glad I bought this fragrance very solid buy, good price too. Longevity 5/5 Sillage 5/5 Notino has it on clearance for only 56£ per 100ml. Review edited: is been now 24 hours since I have spray it and I still can sniff it on my hand after multiple washes and shower, this fragrance is just eternal.

Was using it continuously for 4 years. Absolutely loved it, pretty bold, heavy woody-rose with some pinch of citrus, veeerry tasty and interesting. You can feel some new layers through the time, basically was staying no my clothes around 1-2 days, with strongly decreasing silage. So basically it smells like montale, everybody knows that its montale, but the question is always which one, the answer is - my beloved one:)

Oud night est un parfum Oud, boisé, aromatisé, des notes de cuir, de roses marocaine aussi qui représente ce cher pays, a vrai dire c'est pas parce-que son nom est oud night qu'on doit le porter que la nuit, je trouve qu'il peut aussi se porter le jour, il est aussi fruité, ambré, musqué... il ressemble pas mal aux autre Montale Bref. c'est un bon parfum pour les amoureux d'oud Bonne vapo.

Wow this is very nice. I don’t usually like Oud fragrances but there’s no real Oud in here . It’s very well blended and it’s mass appealing. I can’t see anyone not liking this one. I bought a small 30ml only coz I have hundreds of bottles is perfume in my collection and at some point it needs to stop or I’ll be renting an apartment just for my perfumes to live in.

This is a super strong scent. Almost identical to Indonesian Oud by Ermenegildo Zegna. I currently have each on the back of my hands and I can't tell the difference. I would say the opnening on Montale Aoud Night is a little more pleasant and not as harsh with the dry down possible being better on Indonesian Oud by Ermenegildo Zegna. I would say 99% identical.

#5 Blind bought this one as usual I just love oud and enjoy the thrill of blind buying , at 1st time I didn’t not enjoy it because it’s a monster heavy projection But over time really like it I visited my father couple times and every time he asks me what’s your perfume he loved it so I gave it to him Powerful juice not safe for small places

When I bought the first one, the sales man splashed a generous amount of tester on my jacket, I couldn't smell anything after a while, in my way back home, I noticed people are looking at me in the mall & street. Thanks to that beautiful beast, i only apply one splash inside the jacket and it is enough for a long night out.

I wasn't the biggest fan of this when I first got it, but it grows on me more each wear. Not the most mass appealing fragrance. I get mainly the Oud, Rose, and Patchouli. I catch Wiffs of it all day when I wear it very oil heavy and mom said I was filling the house up 2 house after putting it out solid 8.5 or 9/10 for me

This is a bomb!!! So strong and powerfull...more masculine in my opinion, but as a woman, i wear it very confident cause i like this scent particulary! I am a unisex perfumes lover, and this one ia so good! Longevity and sillage +12h. If you don't wanna smell mainstream, check this out!!

I was actually very surprised in regards of this perfume. First I have bought a tester to try it and the performance was so good I had to buy the bottle. Would recommend it.

This goes under the category of “ don’t try this at home “ Careful with the sprayer, you might choke yourself and people around you if you overspray it.

Extremely similar to aoud line from mancera. 90 percent close. I think i like this more than aoud line. Both are beast mode performers. 8.5/10.

What can i say to describe this beauty,except for I AM IN LOVE~

%100 XERJOFF MORE THAN WORDS COPY BUT STRONGER.

Just got my first bottle, Smells really good

This is a beautiful creation by Montale, the dry down is really lovely. Rose, musk, and sandalwood are the main players. I love it. Those roses are not heavy or cloying and not too dusty, just correctly balanced by everything else. I really love it. How did I not know about this before. This is one of the very few oud-based fragrances that can be worn in moderate summer temperatures, especially in the evening when the sun is down and humidity isn't too high. The lighter notes allow for that kind of versatility. P.S. I tried Aoud Line from Mancera, this is better. This is heavier on florals while the Mancera is heavier on the sharp woods.
