Identity and Release History

Immerse yourself in the magical world of oriental fragrances with Montale Amandes Orientales, released in 2010.

This unisex perfume from the legendary house of Montale is part of the Around The Vanilla collection, dedicated to vanilla accords, and has become a true anthem to gourmand pleasures.

Founded in the early 2000s, Montale is renowned for its mysterious oriental compositions that transport you directly from Paris to the heart of the East, and Amandes Orientales is a shining example, perfectly fitting into this philosophy.

Positioning and Wearability

As a unisex fragrance, Montale Amandes Orientales is suitable for both women and men who wish to add warm and sweet accents to their look.

Released in the concentration of eau de parfum, it has a barely perceptible trail, making it ideal for close contact, intimate encounters, or office settings where you don't want to overwhelm others.

The fragrance is perfect for the autumn-winter season, when its gourmand notes create a cozy and warm atmosphere, reminiscent of sweet desserts by the fireplace.

Wear it on dates, parties, or simply to lift your spirits on cold days—it will be your faithful companion.

Although exact dosage recommendations are not specified, for such a fragrance with a soft trail, 2-3 sprays on the skin are sufficient to enjoy its full development without the risk of being intrusive.

Creators and Influence

The creator of this masterpiece is Pierre Montale, the creative director of the Montale house, whose style is often associated with rich oriental and gourmand accords.

Amandes Orientales has strengthened the brand's reputation as a master of sweet and sensual compositions, attracting fans who appreciate depth and originality.

If you enjoyed this fragrance, be sure to try similar ones: Montale Mukhallat, Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille, and Castelbajac Beautiful Day—they offer alternative vanilla and oriental notes for further exploration.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

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.

Complexity and depth

On me, for some reason, lilies bloom, like a whole bouquet. It's so surprising how they unfolded! Especially impressive since they're not in the pyramid

When I decided to try this fragrance, I expected it to be a rich oriental, with notes of almond and vanilla. However, in reality, it turned out to be completely different. I distinctly smell narcissus, as if freshly picked from the garden. This brings back warm childhood memories of May 9th, when I would go to the parade with these flowers that my grandmother brought me. At that moment, there was such an anticipation of summer and holidays. This fragrance is truly unique, as nowhere else have I encountered such a bright scent of narcissus - here there's a whole bed of them. Later, when the fragrance settles down a bit, you can catch faint notes of vanilla and even almond, but they are barely noticeable
5/5

The vanilla is simply incredibly spicy and sexy! 😍

I didn't find that gouache I was looking for, what a shame! 😕 I've encountered better almond and vanilla combos, so for me, Van Cleef is definitely ahead, and Montale just doesn't measure up. This scent turns into some kind of dirty soapy foam with floral notes, not impressive at all 😒
4/5

A fragrance that doesn't quite fit the Montale style. It lacks the brightness and strength one is accustomed to. The scent is very restrained and noble. Sweet almond combined with a soft, milky, and musky vanilla base creates an atmosphere of comfort. This is clearly a feminine perfume that gives a feeling of warmth and tenderness
5/5
5
This perfume seems too restrained and refined, as if hiding in the shadows. The almond note, though persistent, cannot overshadow the woody accents, which, it would seem, should warm, but in reality only create a feeling of emptiness. The spices, which should excite, rather cause bewilderment. This whole fragrance seems shrouded in melancholy, leaving a bitter aftertaste )
4/5

What an amazing vanilla scent with a slight hint of gouache! The nutty accents seem to give it a special depth. If someone is looking for something similar, but with less gouache, I recommend checking out Nina Ricci Les Belles de Ricci Amour d'Amandier 🌟

This fragrance seems to be a real find for me with the milky almond I've been looking for. It's very pleasant and not intrusive, not overwhelming, you can wear it in any weather without problems 😊

What a cool fragrance! It's so soft and cozy, I just adore it. On me, it opens with amazing almond and sweet vanilla, it's just pure bliss. My sample is almost gone, and I'm already thinking about how to get a full bottle as soon as possible
4/5

On me, this perfume reminds me of Sweet Eastern Dream from the same brand. But if Dream sounds rough with a marmalade rose, here everything is somehow too calm and smooth. The scent is milky-almond, as if almond lotion was applied to the skin, but a little more intense. It's soft, cozy, but there's something oppressive about it. I agree with Anastasia, there's indeed a light hint of yellow honeyed narcissus, but it doesn't bring joy, rather it depresses 😔
5/5
5
A wonderful almond scent, very soft and delicate. The longevity is simply top-notch, and the feeling of lightness makes it a true marvel
5/5

Oh, yes! This almond really is surprising, no doubt! With New Year approaching, I just want to smell of it. But of course, there's one nuance - it has a powerful opening, like Montale. But when the scent settles down, according to my boyfriend, I start to smell like cookies 🍪
3/5

This fragrance evokes mixed feelings. Sweet-bitter, it's not entirely oriental, although gourmand - that's for sure. Just like a sweet treat, it leaves a sweet aftertaste. Honey is clearly present in it, although perhaps it just wasn't listed in the composition. It's surprising that many consider it weak. Yes, if compared to other Montale perfumes, it's not as strong, but overall it smells quite loud
