A fine and elegant rose-oud that smells expensive and costs little.
I was pleasantly surprised, I expected more synthetic, but it is extraordinarily good for its price range.

It is a pretty dark rose-oud combo with a lot of incense, very beautiful and nothing strident, but, you have to like this style of perfumes, if not, do not get close. It is in line with many more expensive perfumes, such as; Armani Prive Royal Oud, By Kilian Incense Oud, etc, etc, although it is also true that it lacks the many nuances and facets of these, but for the price it has is a beautiful perfume without the need for many notes. Basically you smell a very woody dark rose, with a very tame oud, nothing medicinal or animal, here is a deep and dark wood, which fits perfectly with this precious rose. The incense is at all times, giving this combo, depth, and a very beautiful smoky air.

It is a perfect perfume for those who want to start in this world of oud, here we have it very bearable and without eschatological tones, which will be liked by many western noses.

I received it this morning, and I have not tested it well to comment on the performance, but I risk saying that it has to be very good, since, a few hours ago I put it on my wrist, a small spray, and here it is still waging, anyway, when you test it well, I will update this review.

Dark perfume for cool and temperate climates, the heat does not think it is your ideal climate, but, even so, I think that a cool summer night would also suit you.

Very elegant and refined perfume, it is not a daily perfume, it is rather formal cut and special occasions, as I said it closely resembles some niche perfumes of high price, and you do not have to envy them anything. If you like the rose-oud combo in its finest and most elegant aspect, here is a perfect candidate.

Just goes to show...
I really am stunned at this fragrance. I bought a 100ml for under £30. It just goes to show how we can be thoroughly ripped off by other fragrance houses. I have numerous oud/rose fragrances and this competes on every level. Very long lasting and smells far more expensive than it is. OK the rose is a little too old school but I forgive them for that. Very good value fragrance.

Nice rose-oud but no sillage
Maybe I got the wrong batch bying at Notino but sillage and longevity are under par. Far from the power of Franck Olivier Oud. Probably watered down. The sticker was not well attached. Bottle and batch numbering however seemed realistic.

I do like the scent however. Rose oudy, nice balance. I associate it with Arabian nights for some reason. Simple but effective bottle and it sprays well.

Smoke Rose Meets Spicy Woods
"Wow, this is so cool!... Now I have to react like a typical caricature of a Manta driver. I'm almost speechless! A fragrance that feels five times more expensive and lasts like crazy. And it actually smells "only" of a few ingredients: rose, incense, two or three spices (including saffron and clove), and woods (oud and probably a bit of cedar). That's it, a scent that makes the nose crave more!
And it has properties that (subjectively felt by me) are somehow contradictory. On one hand, Cristal Oud carries something very cool, almost frosty, which is soon melted away by a kind of heat, only to "freeze" again shortly after. Like coarser powder or tiny ice crystals that scatter into my olfactory organ, behind it a fire, hot as a furnace. And all at once. The rose merges with the incense, saffron hovers above, clove leaves fiery speckles, and the wood grounds it a bit so it doesn't drift off like a weather balloon into the stratosphere. A mystical scent that doesn't make you miss the overwhelming bombast of similar compositions."

My First Oud Fragrance
Today I tested my first Oud fragrance, "Crystal Aoud | Montale." It's worth writing my first short review. It was supposed to be a statement, but with the first sentence, you’re already at the end.
Creating such a wonderfully complex scent with so few notes is truly impressive.
I just can't stop smelling it. Spicy, slightly sweet, powdery, and with a nice woody smoky note. Very delicious.
I really like it a lot, and at a really good price.
The bottle isn’t anything special, but it's attractive, simple, and fits well on a shelf with men's fragrances.

Rose deep and dark, black. Sprouting from heavy oud into a mysterious night.

Decent rose/oud combo.
The rose is very dominant.
Woods and incense join in the heart and base.
Surely too feminine for many.

Dark wood meets smoke and roses. Very good at a very low price! "Simple" formula, complex mystical-magical aura. H&S super!!

For me, a smoky-masculine rose. Smells significantly more luxurious than the price suggests. Clear recommendation!

A beautiful authentic oriental. Very finely crafted. Doesn't hit you "on the 12" right away... office and everyday suitable. Rosy, smoky, oud! UNISEX!

The roses are blooming! And it’s rather cool outside. Here’s the oud scent for this rainy summer. A rounded blend, feels elegant, rich, and not cheap.

The night of roses lasts until the next morning. Who would have thought this interlude would turn into something lasting...?

Lots of rose, sweet, resinous, oriental, a bit of incense and no overpowering oud - totally simple but beautifully done! High sillage and great longevity!
