Oudmazing

Montale Oudmazing opens with a moderate projection of sweet, fruity, floral, oud, and leather notes. The opening is aromatic, intense, elegant, and very pleasant. The orange, bergamot, grapes, pear, fig, join their notes to balance the oud making it wearable. The oud tone is tone down, it is aromatic and smooth, projecting but not pungent or harsh. Both, the pear and fig come across as sweet and well-defined notes, their sweetness and fruity accords counterbalance the darker but elegant oud. The jasmine and orris add a mild floral touch, the jasmine adds a sweet, white floral, rich note whereas the orris a mild powdery, earthy, woody, and floral violet-like, but these floral notes are not are strong as the fruits or oud. The patchouli is a faint note. As the fragrance commences to dry-down, although it is noticeable as soon as the fragrance is applied, the vanilla becomes more intense. The vanilla, and the grape note, make the fragrance sweet and delectable. The leather and white musk take a moment to develop, but once that happens they boost the projection of the fragrance to moderate to strong, however, don’t they don’t compete with the featured fruity and oud notes. The white musk creates a mild powdery accord. The fragrance has a few but noticeable opening to dry down changes, the opening is sharp, the citrus notes do some of the initial projection, the floral notes are also noticeable; on the other hand, the dry-down is powderier, the notes become smooth, the citrus notes dissipate under the leather, white musk, and vanilla. Once Montale Oudmazing has reached its full dry down, it can be summarized as a strong projection, sweet (vanilla), fruity (fig, grape, pear), mild powdery white musk, and oud fragrance with floral and soft leather accords. The fragrance feels casual, comforting, cozy, dark, delectable, elegant, energizing, exotic, expensive, fruity, high-quality, imposing, intense, intimate, inviting, mild leathery, mature, modern, white musky (mild powdery), oudy, playful, rare, refined, relaxing, rich, romantic, sweet, unisex, woody. and very pleasant.

Finally a fig fragrance I can stand and, actually, quite enjoy! I heard about this fragrance from friends, but I was surprised to see it displayed while out-and-about at a local Nordstrom's. Moreover, I was completely taken by surprise because I wasn't familiar with the notes pyramid...and it was not your typical Montale Aoud fragrance. However, Oudmazing was a very pleasant surprise and I immediately fell three-quarters in love with it: juicy, fruity, sexy and powerful is how it felt to me when first applied. But what was that fruity accord I was smelling and where was that boisterous Montale oud accord? After having researched this fragrance later that day, I noticed the notes of fig and grape were listed. Ah...I get it now...finally a very nice fig-accord; one that is pleasant, interesting and does't make my stomach lurch. All I can say is, "Oudmazing!" I brought home a card sprayed with Oudmazing and the next day I could clearly smell a juicy-fig blanketed by a not-too-powerful oud accord in the background. Very nice. My only complaint is that Oudmazing comes across as being a bit too feminine for my testosterone-laden skin. It's a shame! Typically, I give these "Fragrances I love but just seem a bit too feminine for my taste" to my girlfriend. A perfect example would be Montale Intense Cafe. I purchased a bottle and loved it upon first sniff. Although I could easily wear it, my girlfriend immediately loved it and look possession of my bottle. LOL! Not a problem since it smells even better on her. Plus, I get to wear another fragrance I love while still being able to smell Intense Cafe on her skin. Winning! Sadly, my girlfriend didn't really like Oudmazing. She said, "It okay but it smells a lot like the campfire fragrances you wear." In a nutshell, those campfire fragrances are Rouge Bunny Rouge Embers, Perris Monte Carlo Oud Imperial and La Curie Incendo. She is a scent newbie so I can assure you this fragrance smells nothing like the aforementioned. To me, Montale Oudmazing is Fig-Worthy...however, as with any Montale, Mancera and Amouage perfume...try before you buy. Figgy-Diggy.

I love Montale Oudmazing!!! It's the first Montale bottle that I bought, after I tried it at Neiman Marcus, on my little vacation at the beginning of the month. It reminds me of Bond No 9 Nomad, which I also bought recently. They both have a nice, sweet tart fruity top scent note and oud dry down, that my nose just loves so far. One thing that annoys me about these bottles, and any bottles that I have, that are opaque, and not being able to tell how much I have left. I was thinking that it might be possible to determine by weighing it, if I know how much the full bottle and the empty bottle weighed. It seems like the actual perfume weight would be consistent, and an estimate of how much is left could be determined. Maybe people could start weighing their full and empty bottles, and reporting that on here or something. If you could determine about how much weight in liquid is left in your own bottle, then you could determine the volume from that. I know that water weighs one gram per ml, because the metric system is just nice like that, but I think ethanol is slightly lighter than water, and I would imagine the other ingredients are about the same weight by volume. It seems like the bottle weights would be pretty consistent, since they wouldn't want to waste resources, so they would want to use as little glass as possible, but that could be wrong. Also I would bet that the Montale aluminum bottles are really close in weight. I'm a recovering drug addict; it's been over 69 months since I stuck a needle in my arm (or anywhere else, or used any kind of hard drugs at all), and back when I was strung out on fentanyl, I would do experiments like weigh my blood and figure out its gravity and stuff, so maybe I just like weighing liquids for some reason 😆 sorry if this is inappropriate; I've been having a mid life crisis the last few years, and pretty much lost the ability to feel embarrassed.

To me, this scent smells like a sexy, mature, confident woman. At the same time, I am more than willing to douse myself in this, with one main caveat, I would only wear this when wearing a shirt and tie, whether that's a full on suit or just a semi-formal attire, because I feel I would need to look as masculine as possible to really give off the correct impression I want. Off the top, I get a sweet, rich, fruity cocktail, underpinned by some darker, deeper notes. A slight woodiness gives the scent some body once the fruity notes dissipate, which makes this a great scent for a dinner or evening affair. Before spraying this on, you should make sure you say your vows and get a prenup because you'll be together for a good while. It sticks around for sure, and because it's an enjoyable scent, that's a good thing. I've suggested that my wife wears this from time to time also, partially because I think it would make her smell insanely sexy and also because it allows me to smell the scent more often. Great fragrance, definitely something to get your nose on if you want something different in a man's collection. 8/10

Anyone familiar with Montale Aouds know that they kind of have their own trademark "oud" style and personality in different forms. This one steps out of the crowd a bit. Opens fruity and sweet but not in a sour way. very soft and calming. base note of vanilla really brings that opening sweetness to the forefront. Along with that is the fig that kind of plays the quarterback position in this bouquet of scents along with the agarwood directing the line of scrimmage as the Center. they blend perfectly together and make the notes stand out on their own. The name Oudmazing is very on point with what you get out of this scent. It stands alone in the Montale line because of its versatility being a unisex scent. masculine, yet, you would love this on your woman, especially on a date in the winter time. Longevity is great, projects nicely as a woman complimented me this morning and made small talk after i walked past her. it's a friendly scent in all environments and i highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. this is "oud"mazing(ha, see what i did there) package of notes that will leave you satisfied
