Aoud Velvet

You're hit with the intitial BLAST of ouds in this one as with in Red Aoud, White Aoud and Crystal Aoud. I will compare it to Red Aoud as that one (on my skin at least)strikes me as most similar. The flowers in this one somehow combine to read geranium (!) on my skin! Loud and clear, and I can't stand geranium, so this took some getting used to. Ouds, "geranium" and ylang ylang goes on strong all through my Velvet Aoud experience. Velvet Aoud wins over Red Aoud because it does not play it as safe as I feel does Red. There is something truly uncompromising about this scent. I have not quite yet befriended the not-there but very-much-experienced geranium note, but still, this goes on my love list :)

Not A Review: Does anyone know as to where I can purchase this from, this is one of my mom's fav. scents I had got for her when I worked in this Niche shop that sadly had to close down :(.. Anywho she always got compliments from it ands loves it & she's been out for a while I want to get it for her this xmas, but sadly also my go to Niche site Luckyscent doesn't carry it either.. I've seen it on some other discount frag sites, but I'm always questionable of the authenticity of higher end brands from sites like that.. Please PM Any input of a trusted site that may carry it would be greatly appreciated thanks! :D

This is a captivating, beautiful scent. I have received several Montale samples from Lucky Scent and am loving them. Velvet is rich and complex, first scent is unfamiliar but lovely, (I think it must be the oud, this is the first time I have smelled oud). The oud is blended with orange blossom, and then, develops an enticing,vanilla and more, fragrance. It is also very long lasting. It smells like more than 5 notes are in it's composition. So Velvet is on my wish list.

Opens with Ylang-Ylang glorious making their mark, with sharp black OUD leaving his trail, and note the splendid Tiare Flower embraces all that fragrance. Wow, yeah that's what I want to smell glorious and worthy of full bottle. Potent Projection and Powerful Longevity. Great Montale love your creations. I classify it thus: Smell: 9/10 Projection: 10/10 Longevity: 10/10
