Oud Pashmina

Just received this perfume. It was a blind buy based on reviews and I can say it is 90% what I expected. Initial spray is a bit stronger on rose and oud, I would say 60% rose, 40% oud (a bit animalic, but just in the beginning). Later rose goes down to background supporting oud. So main note here is oud, but after 15-60 minutes oud becomes warm, sweet but not syrupy. Imagine animalic oud sweetened with rose while at same time a bit powdery thanks to vanilla and rounded with slight musk in background. Overall profile I would call dark/luxurious/warm/sweet - bottle color is accurate describing it’s scent IMHO. Now if you know Montale - Honey oud and Mancera - Aoud vanilla. Honey oud is more manly and sweeter, not that powdery. Comparing to AV it is more animalic, if AV is warm cozy, then Pashmina is for more mature public, more animalic. Overall it is at the same time animalic oud and not, that vanilla make it more relaxed, rose make it a bit sweet, but not too much and musk makes it more sophisticated and more elegant. I would recommend it for those who are familiar with ouds. Scent 9/10 Longevity 8/10 (Montale scale) Sillage 7/10 Overall 8.5/10 (I marked it Love, and would rate it higher if longevity would be better)

Wow, honestly wow. Montale blends oud so darn smoothly: its nutty, dark-woody and so velvety. And lasts a heck of a long time. I'll keep it short and sweet: This is a sophisticated, high-quality fragrance where oud is the star. But it's not skanky, animalic or smoky. Rather it's so well-blended, incense/leather-like and reminds me of historical grandiose European palaces...specifically the natural scent lingering in the interiors, minus the mustiness of course. If you've ever gone traveling around the grand palaces of Europe, I feel as if the 'Oud Pashnima' is inspired from that sort of concept. This isn't a sweet vanilla, rose combo. Not sweet at all. More of just a surprisingly smooth and complex oud with leathery undertones. Move along 'Oud Bouquet'! Masculine, intriguing, classy. Highly-recommended for velvety oud lovers.

Another Montale, another oud fragrance. I think Montale is generally a good brand when it comes to oud-based fragrances. They can create scents that smell animalic, almost like a horse stable, as in Black Aoud, but they can also make more elegant oud fragrances like this one. In this fragrance, rose and oud are dominant, and I can also smell a little bit of leather. I usually do not like leather notes at all, but here it is not as heavy as you might expect. The leather note is not listed on this page, but I can definitely detect a slight leathery touch. Overall, it is a decent winter fragrance, especially if you want a high-performance scent at a lower price point. It could be a good choice.

Beast mode. Beautiful fragrance. I am not familiar with a lot of Montale's offerings, but I would say everything I have tried is beast mode. I think this might be redundant if you already own some Montale Oud's from what I have read. I don't own any, but wish they did more in the 50 ml size as they are so strong. I am almost 60 and wouldn't use it up before I die. I shall have to check the Montale website, but every stockiest I see online only has the 100 ml sizes.

This is closer to Oud for Greatness than it is to Ombre Nomade, and I do not like Oud for Greatness. I have to admit though that I only have an official Montale Sample, not a full bottle. I have and really like my other 15 Montale full bottles far more than this one, hard pass for me. That Initio resemblance is off putting to me, but if you like that scent profile, by all means, this better blended and a better value overall than OFG.

Lush velvety spicy with a sweet rose that leans more towards red wine. A bit of musk and vanilla, but the main one here is oud and it`s very prominent. I would not compare it to Ombre Nomade by LV (which is also way overpriced), but if I had to, Oud Pashmina is much sweeter and less balsamic. If anything it smells more towards Oudmazing, Starry Night, and Aoud Sense by Montale. Recognizable Montale DNA, good projection. 10/10

Beautifully done. The notes are blended well to be a stand alone fragrance while getting the LV Ombre Nomand vibe. I'm not sure about this but the bottle states I received 3.4 oz or 100 ml and it seems half that at best. Every 100 ml bottle every I ever received was much larger and even heavier. I realize it's in an aluminum can which should change to a bottle in my opinion. Thoughts on this point? Overall I give it 9/10.

This is like the sweet part of LV Ombre Nomad. Oud is very light here, a little bit smoky but not challenging at all. I've smelled some ON clones, this reminds me of those, Royal Night in particular, but less smoky and more mass appealing. It doesn't remind me of Oud for Greatness, nor More Than Words. More Than Words has a sharp, nail polish like fruity oud and more sour roses, Oud Pashmina is rounder and very sweet.

Oud Pashmina serves as a gorgeous and sophisticated musky oud/vanilla/rose combo. Due to the musk and very dry oud in this fragrance its very different from the many oud/rose combos out there. It remains light and airy but does not lack in longevity and projection. This fragrance is also surprisingly versatile for me and could be worn any evening. Rating: 8.5/10 - Greatness!

Man, is this nice. Rose and oud combo, not animalic at all. On initial spray, seems like it might be heading into OFG territory, but turns into its own think quickly as it dries down. Sweet, jammy, with leather and woodiness in the background. Beautifully blended. Definitely worth the price. I just wish Montale bottles didn't look like old hairspray cans from the 80's.

I just tried it this week and I loved it. To me it settled between the Nepal Oud and Rose Elixir combined. I have both of these so I will experiment and try them together this weekend. I'll share my thoughts later once I do. Btw, I tried Pashmina during a low-70F weather outside and mid-60F inside the store and it smelled devine.

The only difference between this and the LV is this one the roses way more prominent and stronger but in a way it’s also sweet it kinda of reminds me of oud for greatness also It’s like a mass appealing take on ombre nomade But honestly, on my skin is not really like a beast mode scent but it also has very loud projection

So nicely blended that i get no direct agar nor too strong rose. Mainly i get leather from the very start till total drydown in some 12ish hours. By the way, this is not a love from 1st sniff,but after few weeks of trying this blind buy i ended up in love with it. It wraps you up like a nice soft extremely long scarf.

I liked it at first sniff, but the more I wore it, the more I liked it, and the more I got compliments. I just had someone follow me out of 7-11 to ask me what I was wearing. OUD PASHMINA. Typical Montale sillage and longevity. Just a beautiful fragrance. Launched in 2021, it's the new Montale, and it rocks.

Really nice smoky, creamy fragrance. Sweet and strong with rose and oud. If I did not know, I would not consciously pick up on the musk and vanilla. I can smell it now though. The oud and rose is dominant and smells very real. Strong projection, about 1 meter. Lasts for over 7 hours.

I don’t really get the comparison to Ombre Nomade. If anything Oud Pashmina reminds me much more of Les Sables Roses - an airy rose with a very light oud touch. There’s no notion of leather or anything dark whatsoever. Overall a very good scent and budget friendly too.

Does not smell like Oud for greatness. Kinda smells like LV ON Has a dry woody rose vibe to it ON is incense, animatic and then maybe rose The rose on this is first, then you have a woody and animalic Oud accord. Lovely smell, wish it lasted longer. A hidden gem.

It's love at first wear for me. The first 5-10 minutes is a strong rose and vanilla, but the drydown is gorgeous! Very easy to wear and balanced Oud. It's absolutely office and work appropriate and not annoying. This is one of the best things about Montal!

Light synthetic Oud & Rose, nothing new here. It’s been done before, sure. But this is damn good! Not overtly synthetic Oud, it’s a clean, crisp Oud. Rose and a bit of vanilla to sweeten it slightly. It’s a 9, and it’s affordable.

This is literally LV Ombré Nomad but much more sweeter. I would honestly recommend this Ombré Nomad only because you can get Oud Pashmina for $60-$70. Gorgeous scent! Deep, dark, and heavy 🔥
