Oudrising Montale 2020

At the beginning, a fresh explosion of grapefruit and leather with a bit of sharpness. The leather is rather light. After a while, you can also smell the oud.

I would generally say that the development of the fragrance is linear. As mentioned, it starts off a bit fruitier but becomes very linear as it progresses. A distinctive mix of leather and oud with a certain sweetness in the background.

In my opinion, the fragrance is somewhat synthetic but not as extreme as other scents from Montale.
The projection is good but
not exaggerated. You can also wear the fragrance in the office if you don’t apply too much.
The longevity is about 7-8 hours.

Somehow, Oudrising reminds me of Ombre Nomade by LV but absolutely not as elegant and balanced; however, that’s just my personal feeling.

However, this will probably be my only bottle from the brand, as I find the fragrances a bit too synthetic.
