The Green Arabic Winter Garden

Thanks to Hermessenz for the sample!!

Montale fragrances are always an experience if you like Oud.
I tested White Aoud simultaneously with Aoud Leather, and I must say that I like White Aoud significantly better.

Right after spraying, a beautiful hint of rose and jasmine greets you, okay maybe a bit feminine but not too much.
This note lasts about half an hour, then the Oud, which you wait for in every Montale fragrance, beautifully comes out, mixed with saffron and vetiver.
I find this note particularly wonderful; the floral note from the beginning is still lightly present, mixed with the spicy note of Oud and the green, it's simply marvelous. I would say it resembles an Arabic winter garden where scents from the adjacent manor waft in, really great.
In the base, there is a bit of smokiness from the manor, thanks to amber; the gardeners are just starting to repot the flowers, thanks to patchouli, and lastly, something is probably being baked in the kitchen, thanks to sandalwood and vanilla.
In short, the heart note reveals some earthy, smoky, and slightly sweet-warm elements, a fantastic blend, perhaps a bit unusual due to the floral note, but still very lovely.

I would categorize this fragrance for the colder seasons, as its creaminess and warmth provide perfect protection against cold weather.

The longevity is also impressive, lasting 7-8 hours, quite different from Aoud Leather by Montale.
All in all, I decided to give the fragrance 80%, as it is a very good scent, beautifully unusual, you can smell the high-quality essences, and it is a great perfume work. I can't point out anything negative, but I feel the urge to give it 80% as it just falls short of fragrances that receive 90% or 100%.

Overall, I would recommend everyone to test this fragrance, as even though it contains Oud, I would clearly classify it as unisex.
