Wild Aoud

Wow, this is a total love or hate isn't it?? I think I might love it. It's definitely a Montale. It's got that certain something they all have, whatever it is. Opens fresh, herbal-spicy, I definitely get the geranium, artemesia, and amber. And there is oud in there, too. I love this pairing of a fresh top with an oud base. I swear I am catching a bit of praline. This is a complex and not easily defined fragrance. After a couple of hours it deepens and gets this wonderful mulchy, loamy, earthy quality, really not unlike dark soil. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem this lasts very long, but I need to test it more thoroughly before I can really tell. So far I really love this.

This one has the same oud intensity as Black Aoud but without the rose. It's brighter and a bit sweet. I love it. I had a big disappointment with Oudyssee and Rendez Vous a Paris, but this one is a win. Something tells me I should stick to the Aoud line. Oudyssee lasts less than 6 hours, and Rendez Vous a Paris is a mess of scents. EDIT: it doesnt last more than 6 hours... I guess the only Montale I am sticking with is Black Aoud...

Highly complimented fragrance this one. It combines a familiar men's cologne vibe with something a bit medicinal and sterilized. At some point it reminds me of Guerlain's Vetiver (probably the bergamont/tobacco notes they share?). Performance is good as I get 10+ hours of longevity and intense projection for the first few hours. Then it sits close to the skin, with a discreet but persistent trail.

Very interesting fragrance. Starts out very strong and fresh citrus. Over time it warms up and becomes milky soft from the oud wood. It doesn't project compared to Black or Red Aoud, but has great longevity (10+ hours) on my skin. I like it a lot. 9/10.

although it doesnt have great silage or longevity , but its he best perfume i ever had amongst more than 50 i have had . and honestly , im afraid to say it here beacause i want it to remain exclusively my scent :)
