Perfume Review: Montale Aoud Flowers
October 10th, 2007 — Montale, Oud, Rose from Colombina (Marina) @ Perfume-Smellin' Things Perfume Blog
“…red in aspect, sweet in taste”
Samuel ha-Nagid
Montale does not make it easy to write reviews about their rose aouds. There are just so many of them and although they all are, of course, different, the differences are not incredibly striking. This is not a criticism, actually, just a statement of a fact. I somehow managed to turn into a rose-aoud collector of sorts, but if a non-collector

July 2nd, 2007 — Femme Fatale Scents, Montale, Oud, Rose from Colombina (Marina) @ Perfume-Smellin' Things Perfume Blog
I have new love. My love smells “like a red, red rose, that’s newly sprung in June”, like golden spices, like dark resins and woods. It smells warm, like passion, and sharp, like implacable fate. There is sweetness in my love that makes it almost innocent. And there is sensuality in it that is practically animal, untamed.
I was going to break my love down into little details for you, to describe

Perfume Review: Montale Aoud Velvet
June 27th, 2007 — Montale, Oud, Sandalwood, Tiare, Tonka bean from Colombina (Marina) @ Perfume-Smellin' Things Perfume Blog
After all the gushing about Montale yesterday (and there is more to come), I decided to talk about a scent from the line I don’t like. One has to maintain one’s reputation as an objective blogger. So here is my take on Aoud Velvet. I believe a more fitting name would have been Aoud Chinatown, as in Bond No 9 Chinatown, because the two smell remarkably alike to me. Aoud Velvet displays the same

My name is Marina and I am a born-again Montale addict. I take back everything I have ever said about their oud line. There can’t be too many aoud scents. And they don’t all smell the same. And I will strike down with great vengeance and furious anger upon those who attempt to bad-mouth my new favorite line … sorry, got carried away… The oud-skeptics like me (in my previous, empty,

June 15th, 2007 — Femme Fatale Scents, Montale, Needle In A Haystack, Oud, Rose from Colombina (Marina) @ Perfume-Smellin' Things Perfume Blog
It is funny that in a random draw from my sample box for Ina’s and mine joint feature, Needle in a Haystack, my hand should happen upon this particular sample. Sometimes the Universe displays fantastic serendipity. Tom and Robin talked about Montale yesterday. Ina has been saying for the last week or so that she is falling back in love with Montales. I fell pray to the 50% sale on the Swiss
