I wore Black Aoud to work the other day. A half spray behind each ear. From the Uber driver who took me to work (a lady), to all my colleagues and even a courier delivering some papers, every single person said it was great. I must have written down Montale Black Aoud at least 6 times for people. It was 31C that day so pretty warm.
RED AOUD is MY FAVORITE. I enjoy the entire house, they last for hours on the skin. Lots of compliments too ! I enjoy them in the summer because it seems to me that they are suitable for warmer weather.....freshies for me aren't the greatest, they tend to be way to strong e.g, Sauvage , Aqua Di Gio......enjoy this house !
So happy I found your channel..and this video! I discovered Montale Fragrances about a year ago and have been hooked ever since. I layer Dark Aoud and Roses Musk. I literally get stopped by strangers asking what I am wearing. I just purchased Moon Aoud and was very disappointed. TOO powdery. Now I must try Intense Cafe! New subscriber !!!!
Thanks for the video Carlos. Nice to see what your top 5 Montales are. I don't have nearly as many as you, but from the ones I've tested, I think Aoud Leather is my favorite. Thanks for the chance.
Man, hope you feel better soon. My first and strongest Montale love is Vanille Absolu, but I also own and really enjoy Sandflowers. Wild Pears is yummy. And I can't leave out Honey Aoud; like tiffany hall said, the dry down is fantastic!
Hi Carlos, Nice review! Black Oud was the first Montal I purchased. I love it but as you said I limit myself to 2 sprays tops. I definitely want to try a few more in the line - Blue Amber looks interesting!
The only Aoud that I own is BLACK Aoud and I just LOVE IT! WOW... I am so interested in others, just haven't made the move to blind buy... THANKS so much for the informative information!
I haven't sniffed any fragrances from the Montale House, but I'm interested in getting my nose on Honey Aoud and Chocolate Greedy. Nice job, like always, Carlos!
I'd go with Intense Cafe as my favorite, but I haven't gotten to smell a whole lot of Montale fragrances. Thanks for the video and the giveaway, as always! 😉
Hi Carlos! I kind of enjoy those "favorite scents from one specific house" videos. Montale is one of the many houses I want to revisit pretty soon. First time I tried them I was not a fan. They had like a "plastic" vibe to my nose. But I hope the second time around I'll find at least a couple that I enjoy. I'm interested the most in trying Oudmazing, Dark Aoud, Red Vetyver and Intense Café probably. Take care of yourself and hope the cold will be gone soon.
I would have to say Red Aoud is my top pick as well. Love it. Great choices. I really enjoy Red Vetiver as well. They perform great. Enjoyed the vid Carlos:)
To be honest I haven't had many opportunities to put my hands on Montale's fragrances. For now on my favorite is Intense Cafe. I don't wear it because i find it too feminine for me but I'd love to smell it on woman.
hey! thanks for the give away. best luck to everyone. I really like honey aoud. I wasn't impressed at first spray but as it began to dry down, it was amazing!!
Black Oud is freakin Beast mode, phenomenal(last forever on the skin, but in the best way). It’s broody, dark & curiously vociferously, shy. If you hate getting compliments stay away, it’s Goth Poison.
Carlos, I just bought a Bottle of Intense Café, but I haven't opened yet because the box feels extremely lightweight, as if it missing Juice. I weighed the sealed box and it came to 5.5 oz. Does that sound accurate? Are Montale bottles lightweight in general?
I've never had the chance to ever try Montale. The one that is on the top of my list to sample or buy is Chocolate Greedy. I'm so tempted to do a blind buy because all the notes sound like something I would absolutely love. But it's a bit pricey for a blind buy. I've never found a counter that carries the line to test in person. So I'd be extremely happy to win some decants.
I have 10 Montale fragrances and Red Vetiver is in my top 5. While it may have some similarities to Terre De Hermes, I think Red Vetiver is a much better crafted fragrance, especially during the dry down where Terre De Hermes becomes a little metallic.
I just picked up Soleil Di Capri on fragrancenet for under $60 for a 3.4 bottle. The feel like temps are a 100 here so should fit in nicely with my freshie rotation lol. Thx Carlos
I've never had the pleasure to try Montale but would love to. I have smelled the Amber before. Hopefully I will win the giveaway so I can purchase my first bottle. Great video as always.
I haven't been able to get my nose on too many Montales and there are so many to choose from it's impossible to settle on them. My favorite is probably Intense Cafe or Aoud Pine.
Very nice list! I used to have Black Aoud and Patcholi Leaves but was having problem that it stains my shirts (don't know if the bottles i had some issues ) , Do you see similarties between MFK satin mode and Red Aoud ??
Good video man 👍. Never smelled a montale and not sure of anywhere in the UK that sells it unfortunately but based on all the vids I've seen I guess I would say intense cafe. Mainly cause I love coffee and haven't really experienced it as a note in a fragrance yet. 😊
Once you find Montale you are hooked! I smelled it on a woman at the library about a year ago...she actually layered two of the Montale scents. Of course I had to purchase both! You can buy samples online before purchasing a full size bottle
Goodnight!!! I have a question based on the MONTALE brand. A few weeks ago I made my first purchase of the Montale brand of SLIVER AUOD, but I noticed that the perfume bottle was almost empty ... the bottle itself did not weigh anything. therefore I made the claim on the notino page that was where I bought it, and they asked me to return it to send me a new one ... yesterday I made the return .. On the other hand, today I receive another MONTALE perfume that I bought a few days ago, AND IT IS ALSO not completely full. My question is, do MONTALE perfumes ALWAYS COME IN THIS STATE?
I don´t care what people say.. I flipping love Montale!!! Amber & Spices, Black Aoud, Blue Amber, Chocolate Greedy, Intense Cafe are all absolutely amazing! Lov Ya Carlitos!
Hey, I am wondering whether any of the Montale fragrances smell similar to the Hugo Boss Bottled Oud? Or similar to the Arabian Oud Legend (Silver). To be honest I never really liked black aoud, it was too sweet and rosey. I want something fruity, warm spicy, oud and musky whilst having that medicinal feel to it. Help please :)
Great review very informative. Just wanted to ask where do you get you decants from? Most sellers dilute them down so I'm looking for a trusted seller preferably in the U.K. but US is fine also. Thanks in advance.
Hi there man, awesome video as always....IS Honey Aoud A GREAT SMELLING fragrance in the montale line?...any other montale that smells GREAT... is this better than intense cafe? as I always say...I am not looking for challenging/ weird GREAT smelling stuff stuff...just for great smelling ones which are EASY to understand and love by the untrained nose....thanks a lot thanks a lot
Hi, great video..I have only one fragrance from Montale..which is Black Aoud..I m loving it...by the way, how can I get my hands on a decant of that summer fragrance (silver bottle)..thanks
Hi Carlos, Love these reviews but just want to ask you about Montale Louban. Could you do a review on this as there isn't much on here about this fragrance. Thanks in advance 😊👍🏻
Wisdom! Rest In Paradise King! You will be missed.
He passed away?
Sadly he did. Back in February, I think. Gone but not forgotten.
@@sidneydunston Sad
He was a really good reviewer. Such a shame he passed. RIP and peace to all.
RIP good man. Your videos will be missed

I am absolutely in LOVE with Intense Cafe! I received it from Scentbird and I need the full size!
Yes it is pretty fantastic!
RIP Carlos. Still dropping knowledge!
Starry Night, Tropical Wood and Oudmazing are favorites. I haven't tried Intense Cafe and Red Aoud, so it would be great to try those!
Carlos.. we miss you so much!!! Thanks for all
RED AOUD is MY FAVORITE. I enjoy the entire house, they last for hours on the skin. Lots of compliments too !

You are a Great person. Enjoy this rest of your journey

Love the music as always brother. Truly adds a whole new element to the video, elevates the experience
I haven't sniffed any fragrances from the Montale House, but I'm interested in getting my nose on Honey Aoud and Chocolate Greedy. Nice job, like always, Carlos!
Thanks so much for watching :)
I'd go with Intense Cafe as my favorite, but I haven't gotten to smell a whole lot of Montale fragrances. Thanks for the video and the giveaway, as always! 😉
Thanks for watching :)
i love the performance and depth of their fragrances. Fingers crossed on this one for sure!!

Thanks buddy. Red Vetyver smells like Terre d'Hermes to my nose
Definitely agree but it's Terre on roids :).
red vetyver also my fave ... i tried it 2 ago ... gorgeous ...... absolutely gorgeous
Intense café is my favorite one so far. I'll definitely check out the ones you suggested. thanks for the video. God bless.
Thanks man :)
The only one I've tried is intense cafe, and I like it very much. Great video!
Subscribed, liked, and shared. Great video, Carlos. I'm new to the scene, and have yet to try a Montale, but the red oud sounds amazing. Thank you!
Thanks for the giveaway. My favorite Montail so far is Patchouli Leaves. I'd really like to try Honey Aoud though.
To be honest I haven't had many opportunities to put my hands on Montale's fragrances. For now on my favorite is Intense Cafe. I don't wear it because i find it too feminine for me but I'd love to smell it on woman.
Thanks for the opportunity. I have never sample nor owned a Montale before.
I really liked Honey Aoud when I sampled it, but don't have a bottle. It's on my "to buy list". Thanks!
Thank you for the Video Carlos....My Favourite Montale is Dark Aoud,It was one of only a handful of fragrances that I loved immediately.
hey Carlos, great video!! my favorite montale is intense cafe and yeah they all seem to last a long time. hope you feel better, God bless.
I'll be happy to get anyone of these from you man. Never had a chance to sample this house. Gd day
hey! thanks for the give away. best luck to everyone. I really like honey aoud. I wasn't impressed at first spray but as it began to dry down, it was amazing!!
Yes!
Thanks for the review, my favorite Montale is Black Aoud.
Thanks for sharing this with us. I smelled intense cafe I thought it was pretty good!
Thanks Carlos, this video was helpful, I don't own any Montales and this gives me a place to start.
Thanks for watching. I've been meaning to make this video for a long time and finally got around to it.
Superb list! Thank you for sharing, Carlos!
Thanks! Always great to see you stop by :)
plz do another video your top montale 2019
Black Oud is freakin Beast mode, phenomenal(last forever on the skin, but in the best way). It’s broody, dark & curiously vociferously, shy. If you hate getting compliments stay away, it’s Goth Poison.
Love black aoud! My favorite montale ❤
I love Montale Soleil De Capri. It's so uplifting and refreshing!
Black aoud is definitely a powerhouse one of the best! I love the bloopers at the end.
Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite montale is definitely chocolate greedy. Its the only one ive been able to get my nose on thus far unfortunately.
Carlos, I just bought a Bottle of Intense Café, but I haven't opened yet because the box feels extremely lightweight, as if it missing Juice. I weighed the sealed box and it came to 5.5 oz. Does that sound accurate? Are Montale bottles lightweight in general?
My favorite Montale is easily Intense Cafe. Count me in...
I've never had the chance to ever try Montale. The one that is on the top of my list to sample or buy is Chocolate Greedy. I'm so tempted to do a blind buy because all the notes sound like something I would absolutely love. But it's a bit pricey for a blind buy. I've never found a counter that carries the line to test in person. So I'd be extremely happy to win some decants.
how generous Los!!!!!Favorite montale frag red aoud hands down.
Honey aoud is one of their best. Love it.
I have 10 Montale fragrances and Red Vetiver is in my top 5. While it may have some similarities to Terre De Hermes, I think Red Vetiver is a much better crafted fragrance, especially during the dry down where Terre De Hermes becomes a little metallic.

I haven't been able to get my nose on too many Montales and there are so many to choose from it's impossible to settle on them. My favorite is probably Intense Cafe or Aoud Pine.
Never tried Aoud Pine, but will look for it.
Very nice list! I used to have Black Aoud and Patcholi Leaves but was having problem that it stains my shirts (don't know if the bottles i had some issues ) , Do you see similarties between MFK satin mode and Red Aoud ??

Great review Carlos. I love Montale and have many favorites. Tropical Wood is a recent one that I find amazing.
Thanks!
Goodnight!!! I have a question based on the MONTALE brand.
A few weeks ago I made my first purchase of the Montale brand of SLIVER AUOD, but I noticed that the perfume bottle was almost empty ...
the bottle itself did not weigh anything.
therefore I made the claim on the notino page that was where I bought it, and they asked me to return it to send me a new one ...
yesterday I made the return ..
On the other hand, today I receive another MONTALE perfume that I bought a few days ago, AND IT IS ALSO not completely full.
My question is, do MONTALE perfumes ALWAYS COME IN THIS STATE?
I've only tried one so far
So I guess black aoud is my favorite.
I'm interested to try the rest though!
I love intense cafe. even though I have a small sample.
Me too. I bought the full after the sample.
Black auod smells great ! Thanks for the giveaway Carlos !
great video, thank you for sharing.
my favorite has been santal wood, or aoud lagoon. have a great day.
You too Laizer!
So far my favorite Montale is Black Aoud. I couldn't get myself to pull the trigger on a full bottle because it just so hard to wear ...
I don´t care what people say.. I flipping love Montale!!!
Amber & Spices, Black Aoud, Blue Amber, Chocolate Greedy, Intense Cafe are all absolutely amazing!
Lov Ya Carlitos!
Nice to see you stop by Vitor! Hugs
Intense Cafe is my fav, great video.
Thanks!
I smell tobacco in intense café ..and you?
excuse my bad english
Intense cafe is amazing. I fell in love with it and had to have it.🥰
Intense Cafe is so unique and delicious! 🤯
Please provide names of the fragrances in the description with link to buy or at least show it on screen while talking about those.
You can buy online at Twisted Lily, Osswald NYC or Min New York. The frags were Soleil de Capri, Black Aoud, Red Aoud, Intense Cafe and Blue Amber.
I've never sampled a Montale. Tried buying Aoud Musk blind but it fell through. Damn you have alot of decants!
Yes I do (600 ;) )
My favorite is red Aoud! Thank you for your reviews!
Hey, I am wondering whether any of the Montale fragrances smell similar to the Hugo Boss Bottled Oud? Or similar to the Arabian Oud Legend (Silver). To be honest I never really liked black aoud, it was too sweet and rosey. I want something fruity, warm spicy, oud and musky whilst having that medicinal feel to it. Help please :)
I haven't tried any Montale fragrance but I'm dying to try red auod and Intense Cafe
Great review very informative. Just wanted to ask where do you get you decants from?
Most sellers dilute them down so I'm looking for a trusted seller preferably in the U.K. but US is fine also. Thanks in advance.
Hello sir, my personal favorite is Red Oud. it lasts ages on my skin. I like black oud too but Red is my favorite.
Hi there man, awesome video as always....IS Honey Aoud A GREAT SMELLING fragrance in the montale line?...any other montale that smells GREAT... is this better than intense cafe? as I always say...I am not looking for challenging/ weird GREAT smelling stuff stuff...just for great smelling ones which are EASY to understand and love by the untrained nose....thanks a lot
thanks a lot
I love it but can't find it too many places here in the U.S. I found a few for sale overseas but dealing with customs is a pain.
weird, intense cafe on me is all coffee with just hints of rose!
Don't have too much experience with this House. I do have a sample of Moon Aoud though that I don't wear.
The latest Montale scent I purchased was Moon Aoud..I was SO disappointed. From now on I am getting samples before purchasing!
your videos are getting better and better keep up the good work
Thanks so much!
Yes I want have some of these in my collection just to find in Australia maybe have to order on line thank you so much iv subscribed
intense cafe of course but to be different it's either full incense or grey vetiver
I never got my nose on any Montale fragrances but I would like to try the intense cafe.
I just missed you,, Rip Carlos 🌹
never tried them but intense café sounds good
imma try tropical wood, but you should try honey aoud. it's great stuff
I reviewed it a few years ago ;)
Brooklyn Fragrance Lover I'd swear i couldn't find it, but i see it in a 4-tuple review.
Do you have a review on Tobacco Vanille btw?
Like always i like most bloopers in the end of videos !!!
:)
Alex Yakimov Alex и ти ли си фен на Montale?
I own only one Montale. It's Aoud Leather. Very long lasting on my skin. Smells tame to me but I wear it to work.
I absolutely LOVE Soleil De Capri!!!!
I love your videos Carlos:) Thanks for posting.
No Starry Night? Blasphemy! All jokes aside that was a great line-up!
I meant to mention it, but it slipped my mind
Hi, great video..I have only one fragrance from Montale..which is Black Aoud..I m loving it...by the way, how can I get my hands on a decant of that summer fragrance (silver bottle)..thanks
Never tried one before, but I'd love to!
Hi Carlos, Love these reviews but just want to ask you about Montale Louban. Could you do a review on this as there isn't much on here about this fragrance. Thanks in advance 😊👍🏻
Thanks. I will try, but can't promise.
Good evening!
Any Montale fragrance that could be signature scent or fairly accessible for a fairly newbie guy like me?
Thanks in advance!
Intense pepper for sure
what happened to Step? Good chemistry.
I didn't smell that many yet unfortunately,but I really like Tropical Wood:)
I love blue amber... one of my favorites from the house.
Haven't tried any montale yet. I'll be happy with any
Haven't tried any Montale yet. Those are tough to find in the wild!
May you be happy in the ether my friend, we will see each other again:)
hi mate i own 3 of the ones you mentioned but love to try the other 2 and tropical wood. also what you think of starry night?
I like it. There is a review on it from last year, but I completely forgot to mention it in this video. My bad, I wasn't feeling well.
thanks for replying. will check it out.
- just ordered my first Montale - Intense Cafe.
Rdog785 It smells amazing.
would love to try my first montale. intense cafe would be top of my list. 😎WI
Cool review. Wish more details on description
im down for the samples carlitos!
Black Oud is a summer go to. It is a great insect repellant 😎
Nice video Carlos. Where do you get your decants? They look fancy.
