Light rose on the typical Montale base

I tried the Golden Aoud a day after sampling Montale Black Oud.

The roses in Golden Aoud are much different from the dark, sinister ones of Black Aoud. Golden Aoud's roses are lighter, less overwhelming, and mixed with another very fresh floral note I can't identify. (The notes listed above say geranium, and that makes sense.) And of course the oud.

I did not experience the middle note of leather shown above, but I did catch a waft of patchouli. The base notes arrived a few hours later. The base is oud, of course, and cedar tinged with saffron.

Another variation of the same

Golden Aoud is another oud-based scent as many of Montale.

But in this case the roses are very shy. The geranium, a bit of pepper and leather takes its place.

This fragrance is far from being any sweet, but a dry oud with a touch of leather from beginning to the end.

Sillage, projection and lasting power are medium-high.

Bed of Roses

The dark-haired lady in the black leather corset lounges indulgently on her exquisite teak bed, which a smitten admirer has lavishly covered with rose petals. No, not the cheap ones; it had to be the expensive dark roses for which he sacrificed a small fortune. Is she worth it? Yes, she is, for he is eagerly anticipating the things that may happen over the course of the evening. Everything is possible, sweetness or whip...

What starts so innocently with a breathtaking opulence of rose gradually reveals its spicy, woody claws. Not too far, just enough to keep it pleasant...

The tried-and-true (well-worn) hefty Montale scheme

Montale probably has a dozen of these in their lineup, so just a quick and painless comment on this one:

Hefty, spicy, very rose-heavy, expansive, lush, far-reaching, hairspray-thundering.

For my nose, this is a - as usual - exaggerated aroma bomb that sticks to the headache threshold.
Rose, patchouli, oud exaggerate in their triad a lot, too much spice, too much rose concentrate, too much waving of the Oriental flag. Unnecessary given the uninspired brand portfolio.

Heavy

Black Orchid, Tom Ford, without a floral component. If that's too much, you can try the heavy Golden Aoud. You have to give it a try. Either you love it or you hate it. In the evening, the scent is bearable, but in the morning ...not a sunny wake-up call. Rose or something similar cannot be clearly identified here.
The fragrance is soft, sweet, distinctive without burning or stinging. In line at the cinema, some already stepped back.
