Oudmazing
Oudmazing by Montale is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with sweet orange, bergamot, pear, fig, saffron and oud, moves into iris, jasmine and patchouli and dries down to leather, vanilla, grape, guaiac wood and white musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Grape Purple, candied, unmistakably artificial. Reads as sweet before fruit.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
