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.

I enjoy this fragrance, has a very nice opening and it smells super sweet to me, not sure if I agree with all that says or put a box to it or a title saying its "feminine" or "no guys can pull this off" I put this on, got a lot of compliments. Love what you wear.....to much boxing, putting on titles on things etc.....love and live life. This is a great fragrance !

All I smell on my skin is musk and oud. But an approachable version of oud. I really love this! I had a small sample and used it every day for a week. My boyfriend, who hates sweet / gourmand fragrances, kept asking what I was wearing. Finally, he bought me a full bottle as a gift.

Pretty unique with the combined oud and tropical vibes. Some would say it leans a bit feminine but I believe the oud offset the femininity in a way. Wonderful for breezy summer evenings. I really really like this one and don't understand the low rating.

Fruity violet a lil pungent but not too much like deep forest by Sister company mancera. Has a fresh clean laundry type of vibe. I dig it deff not as mass appealing as I thought it would be which is a good thing haha!

This fragrance and brown by ahmed al maghribi ( suggest you to try them out have some good frags last even longer than mancera and montale ) smell almost identical both have that clean laundry vibe going on love em

This is simply stunning and rated to low imo a tropical punchy fruity rose oud that's fresh enough to be worn through all seasons.Many say its feminine but as a straight man I'd be more than confident wearing this.

A 3.47 on this? Really? This is way better than 3.47. It should be 4.2 or 4.3. It's not all that oud heavy. Definitely get a medley of fruits. Performance is above average but moderate for a montale. 9/10.

Was a blind buy but I totally love it .. a very beautiful fruity fragrance .. but I barely smell pineapple or leather .. the dry down is a bit feminine .. more than 12 hours on my skin .. its a hidden gem

Awesome fragrance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another masterpiece from montale.amazing. 10/10

Magical! Very long lasting and potent!

Montale Tropical Wood opens with an intense projection of sweet fruits, oud, and floral accords. The opening is delectable, fresh, inviting, elegant, and intense. The opening favors the fruits, bergamot, passionfruit, and pineapple, they are distinctive from each other, sharp, and delectable. The oud has a noticeable start, it is prominent, somehow pungent. Both, the roses and violets combine and add their fragrant, powdery, and delicate accords, they are equally prominent. The bergamot is short-lived, this sharp and citrusy accord subsides very quickly after the initial application, but it will be reignited later on by a very fresh and lemony white musk. The pineapple losses some of its initial intensity as well, leaving behind the passionfruit which continues to be very noticeable, sour-sweet, and delectable. As the fragrance commences to dry down, the white musk enters the blend in the form of a strong, fresh, lemony, and powdery accord that boosts projection but smooths out all other notes. The leather and vanilla which are described as base notes, are just a faint supporting touch. Most of the sweetness of the fragrance comes from the fruits and rose. At this point, the oud relaxes blending in an equal oud, fruity and floral triangle. The most noticeable opening to dry down change in this fragrance is the development of the noticeable powdery touch and the strong initial oud which relaxes towards the dry down. Once Montale Tropical Wood EDP has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a strong projecting, sweet, very powdery, white musk, passion fruit, oud, floral, rose, and violet fragrance. The fragrance feels bold, casual, comforting, delectable, delicate, dry, elegant, expensive, feminine, floral, fresh, high-quality, intense, long-lasting, mature, modern, musky, playful, refined, sour, sporty, sweet, tropical, versatile, zesty, and pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020. WOW RATING: 8/10. A very good, powdery, fruity, oud, and floral fragrance. DISLIKE RATING: 2/10. The white musk, oud, floral and fruity notes are prominent but inoffensive. UNIQUENESS: 6/10. The combination of notes and resulting scent are relatively common. MASS APPEAL: 7/10.

Very good, about 6 feet behind the wearer. APPLICATION: 4 atomizations. LONGEVITY: 7/10. Excellent, about 7 hours, it projects well for over 4 hours. SEASONS: Winter, spring, summer, fall, colder days, daytime, nighttime, and climate-controlled environments.

Tropical Wood is a very easy to wear Oud..nice for people who like Oud but don't want it too earthy. TO is fruits & Oud with a peekaboo of rose in the bg.. starts a bit sharp but quickly settles to have that nice slight powder touch to it. I'm on the hunt for a new Montale beings I love their scents & the longevity they pack. I thought I had a winner here I liked it at first with everything I just stated but found out to be a bit more floral then I would have liked; also couple comments from friends saying it's nice but it remind me of my mom or smells like an old lady put me off..lol I mean who cares what they think but still want to be able to enjoy it & feel like it suits me. So hunt continues, but still very nice pretty scent worth looking into. :) *Update* Decided I like this & kept my bottle layered with B&BW at the beach lotion really helps tone the florals down & the combo is gorgeous! :D

Tropical Woods is, in my opinon, more floral than woodsy. It's bright, clean zesty, floral and quite feminine. This fragrance calls to mind sartorial ensembles of white or pastel hued linen or other summer weight suits or dresses complete with wide brimmed straw hats. Or fresh laundry drying on the line and billowing in a soft breeze. Breezy. Yes! it reminds me of the smell of laundry tumbling in the dryer. The fragrant plumes given off by the dryer vent that waft in through your windows on a sunny summer morning. Clean, powdery freshness and sunshine. 🌞🌹🌸😎

This is a wonderful fruity wood, that starts as a very "tart" fragrant pineapple and passionfruit combo with the freshness of the bergamot wafting through. The oud is ever-present, it is deep and rich - over all that note really anchors the scent. Tropical wood is unisex in my opinion (though I feel like many women wouldn't really reach for it). It has a very summer feel to it, but I think it would be best enjoyed in springtime as a run-up to summer making the anticipation of a holiday a lot easier while you are stuck working.
