Montale (2011)

I have to agree with the reviewer praising this one. I own several oud-centric Montales, and I think this one has the smoothest, most well-integrated and well-complimented oud note of all. The earthy, peaty tobacco note is given an air of sharp fermentation by the kumquat. A rich, woody incense background pulls grounds everything seamlessly. Better composed and blended than many of the other Montale Aoud ** offerings IMO.

I am a nurse and this fragrance applies as Band Aid brand Bandages. Medicinal citrus. I don't ever smell the tobacco, which would have saved it.
