Tropical Wood

I love this perfume so much. I sprayed this on a cool raining day here on the east coast and it took me back to when I lived in Hawaii. This actually reminds me of the very first day when I moved to Hawaii. I remember it was raining and there was this clean but fruity air. This also reminds of me my drives past the Dole Plantation going to North Shore. Crazy how perfume can take you back in time. The pineapple is not strong if anyone is curious I would say it is a light airy pineapple. I get the vanilla and oud but it is not strong but just enough to provide support. I do not get leather at all. I am a girl but I think guys can pull this one off. I have yet to try this in the heat but I actually think this will work very well in the spring and summer. Lasting power is about 7 hours. I get whiffs of it throughout the day. This is not as strong as some of the other Montales. This is definitely office-friendly so you won't knock anyone out. Very pleasant scent!

Definitely feminine, I cannot picture a man pulling off this scent. When I first tried it I hated it because of the harsh opening but now I just adore it! At the beginning really strong citrus smell, I can smell passion fruit as well and I didn't like the opening at first because it smells a bit like vitamin c pills. after a minute or so you can smell a faint oud, scent that I despise, but surprisingly I don't mind it at all in this perfume. as the citrusy-vitaminey smell slowly calms down, I can smell the bulgarian rose, the predominant scent in this mixture. After some time it develops into this warm and sweet scent that just calms me down and that fills up the room. The rose is definitely predominant, but I don't think it overtakes everything else, especially the base notes.

This is absolutely fantastic 👏🏿 it is a unique year round juicy fresh fruity but substantial oriental dense scent.It changes and morphes depending on the climate it is worn in in the summer it's musky laundy like clean tropical fruity and woody.In the autumn and winter the oud rose leather and vanilla pop out more with a touch of spiciness from an unlisted saffron. which likely contributes to the leather too this is a unique year round banger and imo is half of the inspiration of Oud Maracuja. However this is a better buy due to prive versatility and the price very well blended and put together ❤️

Wow. Being constantly disappointed with traditionally insipid summer scents for men I thought I'd veer away from the usual overpriced citrus formulas this season. I bought this, along with Aoud Lagoon. And how happy I am. I quite enjoy some feminine-leaning fragrances, and I find this and many others to work in concert with my skin so much better than a lazy, formulaic aquatic etc. So much more depth and complexity within floral fragrances...Very impressed. I got pleasant whiffs all day long with this, and several compliments to boot. Florals are the new citruses!

Tropical Wood is a unique offering with exotic vibes thanks to the Malaysian Oud which is rich, smooth and blends *beautifully* with the bergamot, passionfruit & pineapple. The floral mid notes float around for a bit (especially the violet) eventually melting into the sultry confident leathery musk sprinkled with hints of vanilla. another solid LOVE from the house Montale.
