Arabians Musk

This absolutely burns my nose. Like an industrial spill. I've gotten a reputable decant, a sample. And Starry Nights has it too, I got a travel size straight from Montale. Roses Musk kind of has it but it's tolerable. I have 7 other Montale without this sharp, awful odor. I don't know what's in it. I get it with some "intense" perfumes too. Would love to know what's causing this so I can avoid it. I've smelled the smell it on other people too and wonder if they're wearing Arabians Tonka.

I really enjoy this. It's a true honey, like cloudy set honey, with the pollen type musk, a little like Tokyo Milk - Honey and the Moon but less sweet. I don't really get what's Arabian about it. The date notes probably deepen it and make it richer but is indistinguishable. It's a well balanced honey musk, made a little fresher with bergamot. More feminine leaning. I think overall it's a really well balanced fragrance. Arms length projection and fairly long lasting.

Love at first spray! Got a sample with my order and now I need a whole bottle of this juice! This could easily be my favourite Montale now. I don’t think it’s that similar to Sweet Oriental Dream, except the honey note but this one is easier to love. The honey is REALLY prominent in SOD but here the musk is the note most present. And gawd it’s beautiful! It is a bit more on a feminine side BUT I would love this on men so much. Sexy!

As a dirty musk and honey lover, I tried this new release today in a Montale/Mancera boutique. First you get a nice uplifting bergamote/orange blossom and the musk is quite faint. After one hour the citrus and flower notes tone down and the musk and honey dates jump front and center. It's a little bit animalic, not too sweet, quite close to skin and addictive. On my Christmas wishlist!

The opening has a blast of white florals that was initially off-putting but as it dries down, the white florals get toned down and the sugary sweetness steps in to balance it out. In the dry down, I mostly get a sugary, airy musky scent that becomes extremely addictive. Whether you've tried other Montale fragrances or not, check this one out as it's definitely upper echelon for them.

An intimate, refined, and velvety fragrance. It is a "second-skin" musk—clean yet surprisingly warm, sweet, and deep. It opens with a citrusy touch that I love, immediately warmed by sweet honey! Orange blossom lends a clean, floral, and airy nuance, while date adds a rich, dense softness. A wonderful discovery 💫💛 Sillage: 8.5/10 Longevity: 9/10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5/10

This reminds me of Emirati Musk. Emirati Musk is a bit more bright and fizzy. Arabians musk has some similarities especially if you bury your nose in it. But I love the honey note in here. It makes it more rounded than Emirati Musk and it has comforting sugary base. I HATED Arabians Tonka (oud is just not for my nose), I definitely will get a FB off this (post recession😂)

To Acrelune: Both are good but if you blind buy I’d recommend Arabians musk, unless you’re after a really loud honey scent, because Sweet Oriental Dream is LOUD, Arabians Musk is easier to like: sweet, powdery musk with a noticable hint of honey. Suits everyone I think..

A sweet and essence-y smell that I love so much! I agree with those that have called it creamy and pomadey. It’s not the most casual smell, but more formal. It’s kind of got a rich mum vibe, I can’t lie.

It’s really beautiful I have a 20ml. I will definitely upgrade once I’m finish with it, you can definitely wear this all year round! I paired it with Arabians Tonka and yeah 🔥🤯

Got a tester of this. I like it a lot! It’s really intriguing . Where are they selling this in the U.S.? I haven’t been able to find it anywhere! LMK. Thanks

absolutely nothing special. A similar scent is "sweet oriental dream". Yes, there are more ingredients here. Nice aroma. I would say clean musk.

I am in love with this one!!!! Honey, dates, I get everything sweet from this perfume!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT <3

Musky, honeyed floral. Dry, powdery, fluffy, sweet. One of my most loved Montales.

Beautiful scent. I'm getting Givenchy π (Pi) powdery vanilla vibes

This one looks niceeee excited to try this one for sure

I love it, very unique and definitely on my wishlist

Arabians Musk has perhaps a misleading name: the connection is made undoubtedly to one of the mainstays of the brand, namely Arabians Tonka. Well I am sure saying that both fragrances have nothing in common, and personally they transport me into two completely different dimensions. Arabians Musk is the smell of oriental nights, of a walk surrounded by the aroma of orange blossoms, with their bitterish scent mingling with a barely noticeable sweetness of dates and notes that slowly become cleaner and cleaner. I think it has a very defined personality basically, it is a polarising fragrance, which definitely would appeal on those loving orange blossom and slightly oriental vibes, with a clean drydown but keeping the basic essence profile of the fragrance. A truly pleasant, elegant and decisive perfume. ‘The Thousand and One Nights by Vittorio Zecchin.

I agree with other reviewers - this is a scent that sits close to the skin. Sprayed it directly on my skin before I dressed, and have to lift up my shirt to smell it. On first spray - it smells like root beer. Idk if that was just me, but the sugar + tonka creates this root beer smell on me. Not bad, just root beer, and once I smelt that, I couldn’t smell anything else. After about 30 mins though, it definitely became more powdery and musk. I think this is a nice sweet musk, that touches on gourmand, but not enough to scare gourmand haters away. I think it’s a safe, nighttime scent that you could really wear year around.

This is a sweet, soft, feminine fragrance. I like it a lot and will consider getting a FB of it :) creamy, slightly gourmand but totally suitable for the non gourmand lovers. Update: I ended up getting a 20ml bottle and so far am really impressed by the longevity and sillage. In the beginning the honeyed dates are the most prominent. The honey note is luckily not sharp like in JPG Scandal. In the drydown it turns into a fluffy powdered sugar scent that has some creaminess to it. Despite its sweetness I would say it is a more mature scent. Don't mistake this for Pink Sugar.
