Autumn sonata with accompanying music
September is just around the corner. The warm days are not yet counted. The emphasis is on WARM , not HOT.
Sometimes the nights are quite cool. Good for roses. Often they blossom again in all splendor. From apricot to dark purple.
The first fog is on its way. Covering field and forest soils, fine and subtle.
Time for the berry harvest. Blackberries, blueberries. All in dark magenta to purple.
Autumn colors. Mature colors. The colours of late enjoyment. And of scents.
Woods and bark smell. Moist soils give off earthy aroma.
Accompanying music of berries and blossoms.
Slightly melancholic melodies accompany the scenery. Non- mehr- ganz-Sommer-----
--yet- not quite -autumn.
Between times. Lots of major -- Some minor. It can be felt and sniffed.
Heavy fragrances with slight nuances. No time to lament.
Time to enjoy. No "false tones" of a somewhat "weird" melody.
Everything is right at the right place.
Even if sometimes quiet melancholy is in between.
Early fall. Not the end of warm days, but a hint of a hunch.

Guess what...
... and another oud à la Montale, this time particularly synthetic, unsubstantial and plastic. Basically you get the usual artificial and dry woody-rubbery note they (and many other brands) insist on fraudulently call “oud”, here dusted with a powdery-soapy feel which kind of smells like a spray cleaner for glasses and floors. Not being sarcastic; that’s literally the smell (ta'if rose? At that price? ...). More clumsy than other ouds by Montale, and as much clumsy as also loud and overwhelming, at least for a while when applied; on the drydown is tames down a bit, remaining identical as regards of the smell but just more wearable (and bearable by people around you). Not a complete disaster, as it basically smells like a dozen of other ouds by this brand (although they’ve a bunch which are actually a tad above the others), but surely not that pleasant or elegant either; just somewhere between mediocre and cheap/decent, also considering the price - which isn’t high, after all....but well, still not worthy for me.

Nothing new
Opening is very medicinal oud note and then turns to a faint sweet roses smell.

Smells like Aoud Queen Roses and Attar mixed.

Unisex for sure. Great fragrance, but do not expect anything actually unique.
