Yes it is extremely LIGHTWEIGHT 😳 I just got a bottle 4days ago and it was my first time hearing of Montale and when I unboxed I was like, this is leaking as it felt like nothing much was in the bottle 😂😂
I had to go spray my Aoud Leather after watching this. It's so nice. I have and love 4 of those 5. I think Oud Tobacco is criminally underrated and you don't hear alot about it. Montale is my favorite house. The quality/scent/performance/price value is the best of all the houses.
Finally a top list that has a few - or at least one of - my faves. Oud Tobacco is a great winter (cool weather) scent. Not abrasive/aggressive like most other Montale Ouds
I got oud tobacco for my dad last xmas i believe that shit was a beast on him i could smell him all day with strong projection never died down.. i really hope montale never weakens or reformulates there fragrances because there honestly besides mancera same difference really the only two niche houses left that actually make quality fragrances that are beast mode and under 150$ or at designer prices.. Everytime i buy a niche people say its beast mode it never is but mancera and montales seems too practically always perform amazing.. i get tons of compliments from honey aoud.. dark vanilla is another slept on one.. aoud vanille from mancera is really good too nobody talks about it either its strong and i have the magnetic cap version..
@MARIOLANZO honey aoud is good the honey sweetens up the oud and the oud has a woody, smokey leather smell.. everyone loves it when i wear it never had anyone say anything bad.. ive also never had a oud smell bad on my skin so far and i own several oud fragrances.. oud smells smokey and sweet and woody on my skin i guess im lucky..
@MARIOLANZO i need to pick up oud tobacco as well lol.. i dont remember what it smells like but i do know i liked it, it was different and definitely winter fragrances worthy for sure my dad wore it in summer in high humidity it never was cloying but it was projecting literally the entire day and night amazing performance.. Did you ever try dark vanilla, and honey aoud?
Hi Joel.... I have 3 of them. To be specific, Aoud Leather, Intense Café and Oud Tobacco. I would like to try Arabians Tonka and Amber Musk. I recommend to you BLUE AMBER. It has an excellent performance (longevity and projection)
I thought Black Aoud was going to be number one. It is not even on the list. Let's hope it appears on Top 5 Montale Fragrances Part 2. Greetings from Spain. Very good review, Joel.
I order black aoud years ago and all it smelled like was old lady rose musty rose literally it never changed.. my wife tried it same smell didn't react different on her skin.. so i said now what do i do with it i cant even give it away it was that horrible smelling.. so i used it as a bathroom spray lol big mistake smelled like 80yr old rose perfume for like a week im not even kidding i couldn't get that smell out of the air.. idk if i got a bad bottle or something but i bought it from Fragrancebuy or fragrancenet who are trusted retailers and yeah i ended up throwing it in the trash i was super angry.. maybe ill order a decant from somewhere and see if it smells different.. but it certainly didnt smell anything like Brooklyn fragrance lover said it smelled like..
@@andrewwilliams9809 I think you should test it prior to purchasing, coz it is gourmand scent. If you are bold enough to get different feedbacks and compliments then go for it. To me it smells like Nutella, for others - coffee, sweet vanilla or candy.
@MAGACOP lol i think he meant like in the 80-150$ range id imagine.. cause that would be considered cheap for a niche like montales, or manceras, or ajmal prices
Hey Joel quick question. Do you also by chance own Honey Aoud? I have been thinking about getting that one online because nowhere around where I live sells it. So I was wondering if you could tell me if it's more oud than honey or if it's the opposite way around if it's more of a pleasant oud with more honey. Basically would you recommend it as a beginner oud fragrance?
I get about the same amount of honey and oud but some say they get more oud, its a little medicinal but its not too bad it was one of my first ouds, i'd sample it first, but it does smell great!
I think it's a beginner Oud although at the beginner to intermediate stage. I think a better beginner oud fragrance is honey oud(same name) from Floris London.
I own honey aoud and me too this was my first oud fragrance.. i haven't wore a oud yet that smelled fecal or medicinal on my skin. On my skin the oud gives off this smokey, sweet leather smell with honey playing in the background the whole time this is literally what i get from start too finish.. its really nice i love it and ive gotten tons of compliments with it. Especially my family every time i wear it every ones says ohh someone smells nice what is that lol.. i haven't met anyone who hasnt liked it yet id say its a safe blind buy but yeah these days with niche should sample everything first.. they be charging way too much for things people say smell like a masterpiece that just smells like creed aventus or dior savuage in the end lol or spicebomb and the performance on a lot of niche fragrances suck now they banned a bunch of notes so lots of niche houses like parfums de marley had too reformulate all there stuff and they are trash now dont even both with parfums de marly if you didn't get them atleast 2-3yrs ago your late too the party..
The two I own are Red Vetiver and Intense Cafe I enjoy both great juice!!! I like Starry Nights too just a little feminine for me to pull off but it smells like the dry down of Intense cafe w/o the coffee.
@@clarebrad6002 Wow ok thats too bad ... I have a sample I will try it again on myself. The couple times that I have tried it I enjoyed it but I guess I thought I would rather smell it on a woman instead of myself but it's a great fragrance.
@@justinpearson8615 Its really weird how fragrances react, some of my feminine fragrances pull completely different on my husband regarding certain notes. Starry nights is the one he says is quite masculine on me but I love it 😍 lots of compliments even through masks, more so than the others ive mentioned.
@@DPpl-nu6km It has been some time since I used up my sample of Aoud Leather, so I don’t think I can quite remember, sorry. However, it is best worn in autumn/winter.
I bought my first 2 montale. 1 came with the batch on the back, but different batch than the box 2 came with no batch at all. Bought them from same site. Is this normal?
1 big mistake you made brother is spraying it on the same spot, you just combined 5 fragrances so the nose is confused. Gotta make sure you had sample cards to spray them on and coffee beans to clear the scent the nose caught 🙌🏼
I just bought roses musk I love it , I just got the discovery set I want Arabians Tonka, I don't want a masculine scent any suggestions I have baccarat 540, lost cherry bond no9 greenich village e.t.c
Roses Vanille from Mancera is goddamn gorgeous. Beast mode rose vanilla combo that leans feminine. I'm a guy, and if it didn't lean feminine I'd wear it myself every other day..
Yeah I would say it leans slightly feminine. It’s a great scent though, looking to get a decant for ristretto and auod cafe to see if it has a similar profile but slight lean masculine. Royal vanilla is also in the same ballpark but still not masculine enough for me.
@@lawsemaj I have a decant of Arabian tonka, not a huge fan of it BUT I’ve only sampled it on a tester strip, haven’t tried skin yet and sometimes that makes a huge difference. Haven’t tried honey aoud.
Intense cafe, arabians tonka and sensual instinct were all to similar in dna so if i were to repurchase it would be intense cafe. My fave is starry nights and intense tiare but they are super strong so need to apply with caution.
I own 3 intense cafe, starry nights , honey aoud, love all 3 plan in getting more i do not like the stanky barn yard ones anybody know where a site sells sample packs so i can try and smell alot of them thanks.
I bought aoud leather because of this video lol. It's my first montale and my first niche. At first I wasn't crazy about it but I really think it's starting to grow on me. It's like a nice citrusy leather. It may be hard for 20 year-old me to pull off though haha. Maybe when I'm really dressed up or something
@@arim850 nope this is my first Montale. Update, I still like it but it's impossible to pull off. I can't think of a situation I'd wear it and it smells very mature. So I usually layer it with something fresh/aquatic/bubblegum-y and it makes it more accessable. Doesn't last though. 4-5 hours in it's gone with the wind it seems
I never cared for this brand...always found their scents loud and obnoxious and overly synthetic. For some strange reason whenever there is a swap channel or forum some doof wants to trade you 3 of these bottles for your 1 high quality fragrance.
Damn this Top 5 is almost completely different from the Top 10 a few years ago. Honey Aoud moved up. Sensual Instinct was #1 then. Oud Tobacco didn’t exist.
FYI; if you have never held a bottle from this house, it will feel empty. The bottle is light as a feather
True total rip off
Yea light but still get the same amount
The bottle has a 125ml capacity.
Comes with 100ml as advertised.
Yes it is extremely LIGHTWEIGHT 😳 I just got a bottle 4days ago and it was my first time hearing of Montale and when I unboxed I was like, this is leaking as it felt like nothing much was in the bottle 😂😂

my top 5 montale is arabians tonka, oudmazing, honey aoud, black oud, aoud Jasmine
another excellent review Joel !
I am looking to get a couple Montales since I dont have any…
I want some more. I got Oudmazing and it's a deliscious, beast mode fruity bomb with nice vanilla joining the juicy fruit in the drydown.
I thought Black Aoud was going to be number one. It is not even on the list. Let's hope it appears on Top 5 Montale Fragrances Part 2. Greetings from Spain. Very good review, Joel.

Great Content man..I am jumping into niche now..and mancera and montale I keep hearing about them
Could you do a top 5 cheapest niche fragrances to buy list please?

Niche isnt cheap.
You need to go shop at Target or Walmart if you want cheap shit.

Awesome and thx!
Did u like it, try chocolate greedy. It's crazy good.
@@YoYo-be4ow yes I love the cafe. I’ll have to order chocolate greedy and report back!
Andrea, how is the projection on the Cafe? I want to buy it and I want an advice from someone who has it 😁
@@g.cold94 it has a strong projection while long lasting too. Describing it in layman terms would be roses and coffee but it works well together.
How long do these perfumes last, each separately? 😊

Honey aoud is a really great one from montale, dark vanilla,
