Montale Honey Aoud, EdP 100ml

Voluptuous vanilla and friends. I have been looking for a sophisticated and integrated vanilla fragrance for fifteen years, and I have finally found my ideal vanilla fragrance in Montale’s Honey Aoud. It opens with warm cinnamon, vivid honey, a slightly medicinal oud note, and pale petals. The vanilla arrives after about fifteen minutes and smells deep and rich. The honey and cinnamon play a supporting role to the vanilla from this point onwards. After forty-five minutes the leather, patchouli, and amber arrive. Between them the vanilla takes on slightly animalic, earthy, and resinous tones, which last for up to sixteen hours on my skin. On my skin, longevity is excellent, and projection and sillage are moderate. 9 out of 10.

Honey and Oud combo. Smells unique and lasts long. Got some compliments from day one

A very, very potent offering. One spray is sufficient, two is close to too much. Cinnamon and light honey. Reminds me of Mancera Red Tobacco. Definitely unisex.

Found the aoud in this to be far too dominant once it had dried down. This is a high quality product but just not for my liking, relieved I bought a sample before committing to a full bottle

This fragrance gives me sensual, sophisticated, with a sprinkle of earthy vibes. I love entire experience from initial spritz through the dry down. The silage is amazing and the perfume works beautifully with my chemistry.
