Aoud Lime, not Line
When you spray Aoud Line, two notes are immediately dominant: a Montale-like lacquer-hairspray oud and a candy-sweet, fresh citrus note. I don't know Aoud Lime, but since it is often mentioned that lime is involved, it seems likely that this is a clone where just one letter has been swapped out.
It is pleasing that the oud quickly turns into a dark, earthy direction. Only in the opening do you have this color-diluting synthetic smell; later it becomes beautifully dark and earthy with a really tiny hint of animalic nuance that should hardly disturb anyone. For me, this is the most pleasant form of oud I have smelled in a Mancera or Montale.
I am equally thrilled by the rare combination with freshness. This is a summer oud. Such a thing is rare; it is rarely attempted, yet oud or generally an earthy-dirty contrast harmonizes wonderfully with citrus notes.
Czech & Speake have a great scent in their lineup with Cuba, which pairs an earthy-tobacco note alongside fresh notes; Biehl Parfumkunstwerke has gs02, which uses castoreum as a contrast, and Yves Saint Laurent had the interesting M7 Fresh in their collection. All of these have lived in the shadows; very few seem to be genuinely excited about something more edgy in fresh scents. It's a shame because I find those paths interesting and no less beautiful than the often similar citrus and shower gel variants.
The Nimm2 lemon, no, rather Mojito-lime in Aoud Line extends far into the fragrance, is not sticky sweet, but has a refreshing quality. Additionally, for me, the pleasantly dark oud stands out, emphasized by herbaceous-woody notes and a soft, beautiful vanilla.
Later, you can still detect a slightly berry-like rose; here raspberry and rose become one, turning into a fruity rose jam that subtly integrates into the fragrance, giving it an even more oriental touch.
Aoud Line is not super luxurious; it does not come across as a display of the finest raw materials. However, it is an interesting and pleasantly wearable composition with good longevity and sillage for a fair price.
If you are looking for something different for the summer - give it a try! However, one should really be careful with the dosage in the sun, as the sillage is indeed typical for Montale/Mancera ;).
