Aoud Ambre Montale for women and men

For ena86 whether this is more suitable for a woman or a man depends on your taste in oriental fragrances. After the initial application and for around an hour I smell the amber and rose and a sweet scent. After that it is a very dry incense aroma the rest of the day. On my skin that's about 8 hours. For me there is no sweet ambery effect which is present in so many orientals. Of course everybodys skin is different and you just have to try it. As they say, your results and mileage may vary.

This is one of Montale's many ouds which for some reason has stayed under the radar. I love this version. Great by itself or to layer with a sweeter oriental such as Opium or Boucheron's Jaipur Homme.

do you think it is more suitable for a woman or for a man?

This is a refreshing change from almost all the Montale oud/rose combos, mainly because I can't actually smell any rose in this, it has been replaced by the amber. One drop of this goes a helluva long way. After drydown, which is some time evolving, I get a whiff of fried eggs and/or a potent strong sweaty cheddar cheese, but only if I put my nose to my wrist. The trail is still amber and oud, but I could swear I also get saffron in this. The sillage and longevity are massive, as to be expected from Montale. Very nice, but I will only ever need a couple of vials, not a FB, to keep me going.

Tímeazsofia, I smell the lether in it too. :)) Actually right now!

@may.von bonin your review is just fantastic! And I'm really happy that somebody else smell lether in here too! You make me love this fragrance more, thank you! :)

amazing amazing amazing...!!! Honestly when I wear it every one start asking about it...!!!

it is the percfect aristocratic and royal perfume type ! very gorgeous, very heavy, do not put it in high temperatures you could die suffocated ! it is perfect for great events and ceremonies, and so it could seem a little bit " too much " in every day life days ! but it is the very oriental too much style lol if u like to be too much put it morning and evening, but open the windows anywhere you could be excuse my english

Reminds me to the old beautiful perfumes, which are strong at the beginning, and later are less and less intensive.
Beautiful combination of Aoud, Amber, flowers (roses mostly), a bit of incense and wood.
As the time passes, the wooden components are stronger and stronger.
It is not overly complex-it is more linear perfume that is not transformed excessive.
