    I recently moved from my comfy California home to live in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, and after a week set out to find the perfect fragrance to represent this amazing city. I have a...

    I expected this to be so strong I'd recoil from it, but Black Aoud is not as offensive as I thought it would be. I get leather,rubber, and candle wax all blended together with honeyed rose. I'm...

    Well, this is a really great fragrance if you're up for a bold one - it's quite assertive. As it begins to dry down it smells to me a lot like BPAL Whip but with the leather amped up. So if you...

    I LOVE this; it's definitely one of my very favorite rose fragrances of all time. However, it's not lonely at the top, because I probably have at least half a dozen rose fragrances that I really...

    Who wouldn't want to try this after reading these reviews? I loved White Aoud (my husband is an oude-hater, though, so I don't own it), but the Black version just gets warmer and increasingly...

    Black Aoud is *the* most beautiful perfume I've ever experienced. I say *experienced* rather than sniffed or smelled. That's because encountering Black Aoud is an experience. I've never said...

    I have a mad crush on this perfume! And, it loves me back. I only want more of that "iodine-like", "envelope glue", "medicinal" aoud note. Among all the Montale Aouds I have tried, this one has...

    Sample received from Lucky Scent - and I have to confess that I wonder if I got punk'd because this smells like laundry soap on me. Quite *nice* laundry soap - rose castile, I'd say - though it...

    Very heavy on the Oud, blended with other oils. Only a small dab is by far enough for an entire day as this can be overwhelming. Not for the wallflower.

    At first spritz I smell the aoud with roses in the background, it starts off very dry, cool then it sweetens up ; the roses come out of hiding and mix with ambery sweet woods with the drier aoud...

    What is IN this? I smell overblown roses that are way past it and some kind of slimy wood that’s been sitting in stagnant water, like them rotten logs laying out yonder in the backwater mud slough...

    Intoxicating blend of wood, roses, and leather. Black Aoud was a scent that piqued my curiosity, but I really wasn't expecting to love it. For whatever reason, I don't get the medicinal note that...

    Black Aoud reminds me so much of another Montale; Aoud Rose Petals- which I'm incredibly fond of. That camphor-like, nearly medicinal smell just reels me right in and then I also swear I smell...

    This dark fragrance, from the little-known company Montale, has captured my heart and imagination like no other in a long time. Amazingly, the first time I sniffed it, I thought, “Oh, this is...

    Goes on medicinal and repugnant. Then a transformation takes place--sweetness and roses wafting in on a cool breeze. Mellows into a dark, spicy rose. Devastatingly beautiful. Gothic.
