Aoud Lime Montale for women and men

This is a show stopping aoud, guaranteed to get you noticed. The heavy oudh note is complimented well by the pungent 'lime', giving this a fresh invigorating scent. I loved my sample of Aoud Lime but it's not a fragrance I would wear often because it's so powerful. If I do invest in a bottle, I'll keep this for special occasions.

this one is one of the most luxurious fragrance of montale collection,when i wear it,i receive a lot of compliments.it´s intense and so elegant and very very long lasting,the sillage is out of this world,one of the best perfumes of the world with sure.

For anyone (including myself) who find Black Aoud to be amazing but can't stand its huge rose note on the skin, Aoud Lime could be a valid alternative. To the typical Montale's opening has been added strident lime note that while lurking in the back it remarkably declares its presence working as an ultrasonic whisper. The strong medicinal aroma juxtaposed to the lime's acidic freshness is pretty weird indeed but absolutely compelling to my nose. After an hour or so, the rose note makes its appearance but it's not overwhelming or as prominent as it is in Black Aoud. It's instead well blended with patchouli and oud to create an amazing accord that is going to last for quite a while. In the meantime, in the very background, I still get the fascinating juxtaposition of lime but in this phase it sounds more like someone who's playing a thirteenth on the main accord in another room. Amazing.



Surely not an easy wear for its intensity and weirdness, but still a great composition. Well Done.

My Mom seems to love it.. i dislike it. It's strong and rather Mature feminine i say. It has a slight rummy Boozy alcoholic tone to it that i don't like.. I can understand how it's likeable, it's quite fresh, but not in a bright daylight way. I'm thinking dark Oriental den lounge.

Lovely strong oud and only a touch of sharp lime at the beginning. Extremely long-lasting. This feels like Black Aoud's wild younger brother. Love it and wear it occasionally myself.

Edit: I have been wearing this all day; it is very long-lasting. Strangely, long into the dry-down I get exactly the same note as Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose; it really starts to overtake the oud. Not the dark red velvet rose like in Black Oud, but a light spicy pink tea rose. Hauntingly beautiful.

I find it too sharp and too masculine for my taste. I find this wearable only for a man in, dunno which occasions. Can't imagine how this would work on man's skin.
I can definetely feel the sharp aoud and lime, for me there is no patchouli and rose present. There is no powdery iris or warm sandalwood. Only incensy, smoky aoud and sharp, fresh lime.

Not for me.

Update:

Surprise, even if I dislike it I still feel allured by it, so I won't scrub it off. It's very addictive.

very nice, but really a bit masculine. the lime is not so in the foreground, it's a strong aoud here.
good for mature women and some men.

Due to lack of better words I have to say that this is very interesting. Quite unusual and a little sharp, but somehow on me it's a touch too masculine and I do like to wear slightly masculine fragrances sometimes too, but in this case I think that I would prefer it on a man. Possibly I would even find this a bit unnerving (in a very good way!) on a man! :-D The later stages - when the strong notes have mellowed and softened are gorgeous!

I like the aoud here. For now (I have to sample ALL Montale's) this is the closest one to Black Aoud for his strengh and sillage. I prefer Black Aoud, but this is great fresh-strong-woody with a touch of lime, I am surprised...

9/10

very formal, very oriental, yet so classy, suitable for winter only in formal occasions like wedding or Eid (of course I am talking about GCC region)
