An animalistic ferocity
In the community of fragrances, much of them is woody, no doubt, but not all of them come together so well to form a welcoming whole as Oudrising does. This unusual blend brings us a large amount of the insanity that an animal feels when it hunts in the wild woods. This is how I would describe another great creation from Montale.
First a little about the presentation itself. Satisfactory, but without that WOW impression. Definitely the form of perfume from Montale has become a bit dated, and painting a beautiful bird on the facade of the bottle unfortunately doesn't save it. It's not something I would have expected from such a fine interior.
When you spray this fragrance on yourself, you are applying a piece of the forest world to your skin. You can certainly feel that whiff of wet leaves and the shattered wood of overgrown plants underfoot.
The composition opens with an unusual combination of wild leather with fresh bergamot, pink grapefruit and spicy pepper. These ingredients make us feel a hint of freshness combined with very raw materials. Right from the start, we are able to tell that we are in a leather goods manufactory strewn around with wild citrus plants.
After such a luscious opening, we are transported to a primal world of trees, smoke and aromatic flowers. It is this great middle ground that gives the whole fragrance the impression of wild escape through the forest amidst grand old spice-smoke trees and intense floral aromas. Interestingly, the plants do not impart any femininity, conversely they stimulate the sexual thinking of men, awakening the wild hunter in them. I have no hesitation in saying that this is an extremely erotic fragrance.
This whole is surrounded by intense notes of tobacco, incense, cedar and musk. These give an ambery warm spicy character that brilliantly underlines its companions. It adds a touch of sweetness encapsulating this wild whole.
It is a VERY long-lasting fragrance, one of the most long-lasting I have in my collection (and there is a lot of that kind). Such a powerful perfume needs to be applied with care. As I have mentioned several times before, this is ultimately the wildness of nature reworked into the essence of a perfume. The price is very satisfactory for such a rich and high quality fragrance. One so beautifully complex that will appeal to particularly refined tastes. I highly recommend it to bold women and men who know how sexy they truly are, and want to try something new and unusual.
