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

Pierre Montale does it again with a nuclear radiating performer 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥. The opening is a bit more aromatic than I thought, which transforms directly into a sweet fruitsalad, accompanied by hints of oud. It is a bit screetchy, but does not last for that long until it goes into this amazing wave of white florals, musky/ powdery, and a bit of patchouli. The name is a bit misleading, as oud does not make a clear appearance on its own (should be called amazing ft. oud), instead it makes the perfume radiate and perform better, which is something I love and shows true skill of dealing with oud. I think the name can put people off from buying it, since it signals of strong notes of oud. The performance is typical montale, nuclear. Some have mentioned that the fragrance is a bit feminine leaning, which I agree with, due to the white florals. But any gender could pull this off without any issue. I would still not recommend it to blind buy, since it is a bit intense and clawing.

This one opens with beautiful fresh fig, grapes and oud with a dash of citrus. There's also a noticeable vanilla influence. The oud is well-behaved, with maybe a smidge of that skankiness shining through (maybe this is just the leather note though). This is still a very clean oud, good for beginners who might be scared by the note. The leather note is a bit more prominent than the oud to my nose, so i'd actually call this a leather fragrance rather than an oud fragrance. They blend together nicely to create a dark, phenolic backdrop for the sweet notes. Overall, fresh and fruity but with the oud and leather deepening it and giving it some muscle. As with most oud fragrances i think this is suitable for colder weather, i can see this being cloying in hot weather. Performance seems quite good on the strip, i'll have to try a real wearing to judge. I find this to be more femme leaning. A successful blind buy for me and certainly one of the better offerings Montale has.

The Fragrance Guy on YouTube said he thought this was like a deeper, richer version of Angel with a hint of LeVie’Belle and I agree. I am a fan of the OG Angel and for anyone who truly loved that one, you would appreciate this Oudmazing. I think this could also fall under a fruitier milder Oud Maracuja for those who would like that genre at a level that is more femenine leaning. I love one spray of this and then add more vanilla or even rose centric frags with it. I think this is an underrated gem. Many don’t understand Montale... and I get it, they are not for everyone. I love a lasting and projecting fragrance. One of my favs of theirs is Blue Amber- it gets lost in fragcom, but it’s all the best parts of the amber and vanilla from Shalimar’s drydown without the leather and funk. I get stopped by people when wearing this ... one woman ordered it on the spot! Again, one spray on this one. So, this is aptly named in my opinion–Oudmazing it is!

I figure I better write down my thoughts on this beautiful scent before my decant ran out. Worn this 4 times already trying to pin down what was going on (I'm not too familiar with Oud and Fig). Anyway, this smells very floral and feminine in the opening, which turned me off in the beginning. The drydown, however, is just AMAZING. There's still traces of Floral, but a certain creaminess and hints of fruit make it elegantly unisex. Very nice, deceptively smooth transformation. I don't even mind the opening as much anymore these days -- it has definitely grown on me. All in all -- a great-smelling fragrance. Like the other Montales and Manceras, this lasts a long long time (around 6 to 7 hours on me) and projects really well. I would love to buy a bottle in the future if my Floral slot opens up. I'd highly recommend, but men need to see first if they can get past how feminine the opening is.

Very misleading name. I know there are plenty hardcore Montale fans and a few may have blind bought this without reading the notes. If you did then you are in for a total shock! This is a fruity gourmand. There is no way in hell the name should have anything to do with oud as it's simply not present. What you will get is a long lasting pretty much over the top grape/vanilla scent that is done in Montale style. Very linear and straight to the point. It leans a bit more feminine than masculine IMHO but I am more comfortable wearing this than other Montale unisex fragrances such as Sicily and Chocolate Greedy. 100 ml is under $70 ATM so if you love it,this is the right time to buy. My 10 ml decant will last me quite a few years.

Popping and fun fragrance, this one sticks to the skin and lasts and lasts, gorgeous, comforting, fruitiness embedded on some pleasant florals and Musk that pushes till the entire life of the fragrance, subtle Vanilla with a tinge of oud comes through from the middle stages along with the clean white musk and smooth leather that gives it some dense feel all the notes are balanced perfectly, grape is quite pronounced in this one too, people might say it's feminine leaning. But being a man that appreciates this style, it's an absolute delight to wear, an amazingly well done fragrance from Montale, must try if your looking for something dreamy that creates a noticeable scent bubble around you! Overall 8.5/10

Tried from the Montale Paris sampler kit (25 samples of 2 ml each), bought as the travel sprayer. Men and women can rock this fragrance, to me it is pretty neutral. My best advice is to use this one sparingly, a little goes a long way, and lasts for an unknown time period. The longevity is like a zombie, you think it is gone and then the sun or wind hits that spot and you smell it all over again. It lasts through at least one shower. My wife and I love this and although we only have the 20ml travel sprayer, we would get the full sized bottle to share. To me it has all the notes listed in the bottle and you'll smell them all through the day, and for me it was a pleasant experience.

As a man this is a fantastic and unique rendition of rose and oud.Its soft but deep delicate but not feminine on my skin the oud and patchouli are prominent this isn't listed but there is an underlining spicy tone which I think comes from the citruses. Upon thr dry down grape leather and vanilla comes out this is becomes truly stunning fruity floral spicy woody and oriental.10/10 in my veiw this brand really knows how to make complex unique and bold fragrances that stun people.The fact they are well priced often makes them undervalued but I don't care I love them I also get compliments galore.

After reviewing the notes, decided to pull the trigger and add this to my collection. Very fruity composition but not overly feminine. Great projection , and lasts 12 + hours. No oud is detected but the strentgh of this scent reminds you it's there. I had a female co worker that was sitting next to me stop and sniff the air. She comes to me and sniffed me up and down and goes " what s that you are wearing? You smell so good!". Worth a try if you dig the notes. Next up on the Montale list will be intense cafe. Projection 10/10 Scent 9/10 Sillage 10/10

This is such an interesting perfume. I definitely want to try a larger decant. If anybody is selling let me know! I love the combination of fruits and oud, and it's quite a rare combo for me. The closes thing I tried was Sarah Baker's Loudo (but its a chocolate-heavy one, so it leans more sweet than fruity). This is the first fruity oud I am trying and it feels like Diptyque's Philosykos on steroids (toned up a lot). I do love it's unusual opening, the fig accord, the slight greenish leaves in the background, and the woody orris creamy drydown.

This stuff is Oudmazing. I just get a small amount of oud out of this. The fig is devine here and the orris root gives it a light cloudy powderness. Overall impression is fruity and dark with light powderiness. Though ever so slightly feminine leaning, the vibe I have with this is similar to TF Black Orchid. Any guy that can rock that can rock this. I will definitely enjoy the rest of my bottle. My wife likes this too. Side note: the first couple of times I wore this it took my brain some time to sort this out. Now it's a love. Cheers!

As a man who embraces machismo I can say I love this. I impulsively wear it on occasion year round. I work with nearly all men. None of them have ever said anything negative about it. Believe me, they would as they have done with other fragrances! On the other hand I do get compliments from women when I wear this. I usually wear about 5 sprays (right now about 8). The oud in this is child's play as far as oud goes. The plum, orris, and grape shine through, so it comes across as juicy/powdery to me, and unisex. I'm a big Montale fan!

For men this is an all weather fragrance that leans feminine, but i do like that from time to time. The opening gives more oud then the drydown, which is fruity and a bit flowery, grapes and some fig indeed, some patchouly and vanilla later on, the leather note is of a punguent kind. Oudmazing reminds me a lot, and gives the same vibe as Mancera Black Vanilla, fresh fruity and a compliment getter in my case. I like it a lot, but it's NSFW. Best to try it, you might just like it! The ladies can't go wrong with Oudmazing. 89

Fruity and more woody scent...it blends so well with my skin chemistry. After a long bath, Still smella potent on my skin. It makes me fell AMAZING. Doesn't smell cheap at all. Also, it is a little bit powdery, maybe because of the musk. This is not for everyone! If you like ordinary designer fragrances, you will not like this luxurious scent. Fall-winter most night time scent. I would wear it in spring and summer as a night clubbing scent. Do not overspray! Longevity over 12h, stront projection for ~5 hours

This is a lovely-smelling fragrance. This has a strong fruity and floral opening. With the fruit notes combined with jasmine, it makes this a sweeter and quite feminine oud-rose combo. Once this dries down, the jasmine stays but the fruits relax. While it is still very good, I could not wear this for myself because of how feminine this smells. The sillage is very strong and pushes far so there is no problems with performance. Going to give this to my fiance. This is a great fragrance.
