Montale Paris Wild Aoud Eau De Parfum

i loved it

Lightest bottle of Fragrance for what is supposed to be 100 grams. Packaging 5/10. Lacks creativity in bottle design. Nice sprayer. protective pouch for taking along with you, but you can leave it at home because although sillage is 3/10 at best (and its summer) the longevity (7/10)is a good 6 hours minimum and 9 max on me over moisturized skin in June and July. I can see this for all seasons but it feels like an Autumn fragrance. To be very honest I did not like this scent the first few times I sat around sniffing my arm. Somewhere with repeated exposure, I really began to appreciate it. Its not a masterpiece mind you, it doesn't break any ground with originality- its just a very nice scent although in the opening the tobacco, which is kicked up a bit by the base of patchouli and amber, is very smokey and overpowers the citrus and geranium. I don't smell a lot of Bergamot. I don't smell any rose or other flowers. I get a lot of dry wood. Amber emerged 45 minutes in, its not a powdery or ultra sweet amber. I wish it had a little musk in there, but I do not appreciate any. It does not change very much at all - just gets slightly sweeter as the alcohol leaves the formulation. 7.5/10 fragrance.
