Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

The fragrance is simply magnificent. I can't agree that it's exclusively masculine. In my opinion, it's perfectly suitable for both men and women. On me, it opens with an oily, rich rose and oud, while on a man, the oud is more prominent. The longevity is just amazing, it lasts for days! )

This fragrance blew me away with its scent on a hot day, the experiment was a success. From a sweetness reminiscent of caramel, a magnificent, noble oud began to emerge, as if you'd stepped into a new, fresh wooden house 🏡

Why is this fragrance only for men? I'm always puzzled! It also unfolds beautifully on a woman and looks simply gorgeous. This is Bulgarian rose oil with a delicate woody background - simply a bomb!

Aoud Black by Montale is a truly impressive fragrance that attracts attention with its bright notes. Such a bottle will definitely become an important element in the collection of anyone who appreciates quality perfumes 🌟

In this perfume, the oud sounds very powerful, even for Montale. There's a clear combination of rose and oud here, and, honestly, it gives the impression that it's geared towards men - it's just too aggressive and persistent. The longevity is simply top-notch )
5/5

A scent for a real woman, no doubt! It's a bit selfish, with hints of pretentiousness, headstrong and defiant at first glance, but definitely memorable. This scent awakens wild instincts in men, making them go to any lengths to conquer her. And, of course, she can become a true reward for the victor, bringing thrill and tenderness 💖

At first, I smell an incredibly beautiful garden narcissus scent, even though it's not listed in the composition 🌼 Then it transforms into something sweeter. The longevity, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired. Next time, I'll definitely get this perfume; it's more convenient to use. The cap comes off easily, and the sprayer is small

Hello, dear niche perfume lovers! I want to share my impressions of the "black aoud" composition. It's simply WOW! The fragrance is incredibly deep and elegant, creating a truly sensual and warm atmosphere. Pierre Montale, inspired by life in Saudi Arabia, created something special.

In this perfume, Nepalese rose, Agarwood, French labdanum, and juicy mandarin are luxuriously intertwined. Musk combined with sparkling grapefruit and piquant patchouli leaf makes it simply unforgettable. No wonder this fragrance became the pride of its creator!

And thanks to spicy aphrodisiacs and enchanting woody notes, oud oil becomes the main note, giving the fragrance mystery and uniqueness. A real feast for the senses!
3/5

I'm starting to get tired of encountering the oud and rose combination in perfumery. It seems to be a favorite theme for many perfumers, and they keep using it. But here, they decided to add patchouli, which, in my opinion, refreshes the composition. Yes, oud with rose is a classic, but thanks to a generous dose of patchouli, the scent has become more original and moved away from the usual sound
5/5
5
The perfume truly amazes with its rich composition. Here are rose, agarwood, and French labdanum, as well as fresh mandarin and musk. All these notes beautifully intertwine with bright grapefruit and a slightly sharp patchouli. This combination creates a unique and memorable fragrance that won't leave anyone indifferent 🌟
4/5

The fragrance combines oud and musk, as well as rose, which makes it quite rich and long-lasting. The brightness of this perfume is impressive, although citrus notes are barely noticeable against the main composition. Overall, it seems quite strict, but there's a certain charm to it )
4/5
4
The fragrance is really dense and long-lasting, woody notes with bright accents of patchouli and rose create an interesting combination. Mandarin adds lightness, refreshing the overall composition, and the oud isn't overwhelming, which is a pleasant surprise. An excellent choice for evening outings and cool weather 🌟
4/5

The fragrance is simply a bomb! It seems to perfectly suit the image of Darth Vader from Star Wars! 😄 For a party in a fancy club - that's exactly what you need. But during the day or morning, it's better not to wear it, it feels somehow inappropriate. And also, after the top notes settle, some kind of vegetal smell appears, reminiscent of hogweed or something similar. Very sharp, as if a poisonous flower was cut. Specific, in short. Better to test it under different conditions before deciding to buy
3/5

Mandarin, this suffocating oud, and a tiny bit of rose. In the heat, some nasty synthetic appears, it just choked me, maybe it'll be better in the cold

I bought it as soon as it came out. In the store, it just blew me away, so I immediately got a big bottle. But I couldn't wear it myself. I gave it to my friend, and it looks gorgeous on her 😏
