Pros & Cons
- ✅ This is the most subtle aoud I've come across in the Montale collection, and one of its most wearable. The aoud is light without losing its richness and the rose is wispy and caressing. The other notes add a hint of spice. A truly gorgeous aoud.
- ✅ If I ever thought of having a signature scent, this might be it! BUT! If you want to avoid its unisex qualities, don't spray - dab it! ... Untypically dark Bulgarian rose (which usually is loud and piercing on me), geranium and just a hint of patchouli, and smooth, deep woody undertones ... It's not an office scent - save it for special occasions when you want to make a statement with your appearance.
- ✅ This smells exactly like Aoud Lime after 2 hours, only Golden Aoud has Geranium & teak wood & Pepper instead of Iris, Amber and sandelwood!

- ✅ Very nice, sharp, slightly medicinal rose oud. ... the rose, oud and saffron notes are very pleasing. ... Overall I'm very happy with this fragrance. Recommended.
- ❌ Old-fashioned rose oud, with medicinal aspect. I wouldn't call it gorgeous, it is quite common rose oud combination and doesn't bring anything new to the table. However, it is quite wearable. Not my cup of tea though.
- ❌ I was surprised when I first sprayed this. It kind of smelled of lime, and reminded me a bit of toilet cleaner to be honest. After about an hour it settled into the standard rose scent that I’ve come to expect from Montale, with a hint of synthetic oud. ... It’s textbook Montale. If you already own Montale fragrances, chances are you don’t need this.
- ❌ Unfortunately has a medicinal tint, dentist like.
