Crystal Aoud

Montale · 2008

Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic

Montale Crystal Aoud is a unisex scent that suits fall and winter evenings, pairing fruity sweetness with spice and smoky wood; it has been discontinued. Mandarin orange, melon and green apple open it fresh and fruity. In the heart, teakwood, oud and patchouli set a woody, smoky base, and vanilla, saffron and white musk sweeten and soften the dry-down. A synthetic tone also shows among the accords. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and night out and evening are the most chosen occasions. Slightly more voters call it feminine, but a sizeable share call it masculine, so it can be worn by either. Brioni Brioni (Eau de Parfum Intense) and Armaf Hunter Killer have a close profile.

Aoud Jasmine

7.8

Montale · 2016

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer further behind. Night out and evening get the most votes, though business and daily wear are close behind. Voters lean towards reading it as feminine. Paris Corner Zahi and Les Nobles Essences Mirage Exotique have a close profile.

6.9

Montale · 2015

Citrus · Spicy · Woody

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though these ratings rest on only a small number of votes. It reads as unisex, suiting both men and women. Saffron carries the spicy, resinous side, patchouli deepens the woody, oriental character, and musk softens them. Orange adds a citrus brightness that stays in the background. Initio Oud for Greatness and Bois 1920 Sacro e Profano have a close profile.

Dew Musk

5.1

Montale

Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer chosen less often. It leans towards leisure and business settings, and it reads mostly feminine, followed by masculine and classic. The notes read as one whole: ylang-ylang and orange blossom carry the floral side, while pomegranate adds fruity sweetness. Musk and patchouli lay a soft, powdery base beneath, and the synthetic and animal accords stay in the background. Montale So Flowers and Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Taif Roses

7.6

Montale · 2007

Fresh · Floral · Green

Gold Flowers

7.3

Montale · 2009

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Montale Gold Flowers is a woman's fragrance that sets creamy, sweet tuberose against a spicy, woody base. Tuberose leads, with clove and red pepper adding a warm, spicy edge. Sandalwood and ambergris soften the floral core and give it a creamy depth. The synthetic side is clear, so it reads as a polished, glossy floral rather than a natural garden. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. A light hand may be enough. Fugazzi Cash Flower and Juliette Has A Gun White Spirit have a close profile.

Diamond Rose

6.8

Montale · 2017

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Montale Diamond Rose is a fresh, floral rose scent for women, lightened by green and aquatic touches and softened underneath by a sweet, powdery warmth. It opens with geranium, bergamot and fig, green and bright from the first spray. At the heart, Turkish rose and Sumatran patchouli lead, the patchouli lending the floral side a faint earthy edge. In the base, Haitian vetiver, vanilla and sandalwood sweeten the scent and settle it into a powdery warmth. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small. Voters most often pick leisure and daily wear, with work and nights out close behind. It suits anyone who wants a rose that stays fresh and sweet. Borntostandout Fig Porn and Les Senteurs Gourmandes Figue Sauvage have a close profile.

Oriental Flowers

7.3

Montale · 2008

Floral · Synthetic · Spicy

Montale Oriental Flowers is a powdery, oriental floral for women, deepened by spice, resin and woody tones; it has been discontinued. Ylang-ylang, rose and bergamot come first; in the heart, jasmine and orris root pull the scent toward a powdery line. Peru balsam leaves a resinous warmth at the base. Spicy, earthy and chypre accords sit alongside the floral ones, so it reads darker and heavier than a simple flower bouquet. Voters find both its longevity and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small. It is worn by day and by night: leisure and business draw the most votes, with evening and night out close behind. It reads as a feminine scent. Halston Halston and Guerlain Mitsouko have a close profile.

Holy Musk

6.7

Montale · 2026

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Montale Holy Musk is a fresh, floral unisex scent in which rose and violet are softened by a powdery, creamy musk. It opens on rose water, and the heart pairs Damask rose with Italian violet, both giving a powdery floral face. In the base, Brazilian tonka bean, white musk and ambergris sweeten the scent and tie it to a creamy, lightly aquatic warmth. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted, so those ratings are tentative. Its clean, soft build suits everyday wear and reads comfortably on both women and men. It shares a close profile with Dior Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming and Maison Margiela Bubble Bath.

Intense Starry Nights

7.5

Montale · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Montale Intense Starry Nights is a unisex fragrance that pairs bergamot with jasmine and Egyptian rose, deepened by amber, musk and Sumatran patchouli. The notes read as one whole rather than split into top, heart and base. A fresh, citrusy brightness meets the floral side, while the accords add spicy, oriental, earthy and smoky shades. Leathery and chypre touches darken the balance, and there is a synthetic edge as well. Longevity is rated good and so is sillage, though the number of ratings is small, so these values are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it can be worn by anyone. Nicolas de Barry La Reine Margot and Rasasi Arba Wardat (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Golden Sand

7.1

Montale · 2015

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Montale Golden Sand is a fresh floral unisex scent that opens with saffron, Calabrian orange and mint and carries rose, jasmine and violet at its heart. Saffron spice, fruity orange and mint lead the top. Rose, jasmine and violet then build a floral middle. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, white musk and amber soften everything into a powdery, woody warmth. A slightly synthetic sheen runs through the accords. Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, so it stays on skin for a long time and carries well around you. It reads as unisex rather than leaning masculine or feminine. The warm, sweet and spicy build suits cooler days and evenings.
