Hi ladies,
Are there any favorites in Montale line? I plan on ordering a few more and wanted to get some current feedback on what others are splurging on
Regards,
Parisa

Answer:
Jasmine Full
Intense Tiare
Sweet Oriental Dream
Velvet Flowers

Answer:
I really want to try Intense Tiare. It sounds like a very good monoi-type smell, and I think I've mentioned before that if I can find a perfume that smells like NARS's monoi oil, I will die a happy woman!
So far, I've got two Montale decants (Attar and Royal Aoud) and a sample (Aoud Ambre), and they're all just fantastic. The rose in the base of Attar and Royal Aoud is very much to my taste - and Royal Aoud's opening reminds me of my Dad's surgery when I was a kid. There's the faint antiseptic smell, the leather of his chair and even the wood of the tongue depressors! The very medicinal oud notes and the citrusy bits vanish after about ten minutes and leave a very creamy, dark rose on me - and the lasting power of this stuff is second to none. I can still smell it after bathing.
I got my mother to try Attar, because I thought she'd love the rose. Surprisingly, she couldn't catch the rose in it, and on her it went in a much more sandalwoody direction. I don't find Attar very *complicated* - I can only discern oud, rose and sandalwood - but it's very beautiful.
I think I'll end up buying a bottle of Royal Oud or Attar - I'm just having trouble making a decision between the pair of them!

Answer:
I found the oud scents very original and Montale 's best but not for me. The rest of the line didn 't thrill me at all in terms of subtlety and quality.

Answer:
'Patchouli Leaves' kept calling me back and I finally bought a bottle. I don't regret it. It's gloriously refreshing, my favorite patchouli so far. I also like 'Velvet Flowers' and 'Dew Musk'. 'Wood and Spice' is reminiscent of 'Eternity' but less aquatic, more spicey.A good light spice, very unisex.
