About This Perfume
Montale Fantastic Oud smells like smoky leather cabinet of old incense. It opens with agarwood (oud), moves into tobacco, rose and patchouli and settles on leather, ambergris and sandalwood. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits nights out. Released in 2018.
In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
