 It's probably one of the most wearable men's ouds that I've ever come across just so easy to wear Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here today I want to do a little review on Montal's oud musk And now this fragrance was suggested to me by a subscriber Definitely want to encourage you guys to give me some suggestions down below because every now and again I will just pull the trigger and get that fragrance right away And that is something I did with this one Montal's oud musk I think it came out in 2010. If not, I'll put I'll put it down below But this just smells like a cornerstone style fragrance It smells a little bit similar to other niche fragrances that I've smelled before But it's overall not trying to do anything kind of crazy or different It's just trying to give you a very classic Very high quality take on literally oud and musk That's kind of what the fragrance goes for and that's what the fragrance accomplishes in my opinion You know this fragrance seems simple in a good way and it's funny when I looked up the notes It doesn't have that many notes So I'm like thank goodness because it smells so simple to me And I didn't want to think there was going to be like 30 notes or something in there because it doesn't smell like that to me The notes we got here are surprise surprise oud musk, saffron, ebony wood, vetiver and amber This fragrance doesn't smell in my opinion like Tuscan leather But it has this a little bit of something in here that reminds me a little bit of Tuscan leather Not the same style fragrance at all totally its own different style fragrance This is closer to just more of the niche style oud fragrances the pros This fragrance is really robust in my opinion the very first couple of days when I was spraying this I actually just wanted to keep smelling my hand. It just smelled really good Really high quality, you know something great for work very easy to wear too oud is a style of fragrance That's pretty unique in my opinion. It's more mature people who usually like oud like more mature style sense It's a more mature style smell. It's not really something I smell on Maybe people under 25 or people on high school or real bubble gummy style people nowhere near that It's really robust niche level and it can be off putting to some people But one thing I really liked about this one is that it's probably one of the most wearable mens ouds that I've ever come across Just so easy to wear just screams signature scent in my opinion Something that I wouldn't mind wearing all the time and I could see a lot of people just picking this up Being great as a signature scent 100 percent It seems like it was maybe the first of its kind or it just did something a lot of fragrances were doing And didn't try to do anything extra just did a very classic very likeable mens smell And I just really like it. It's one of those few fragrances that does simple good in a right way I always have respect for oud. It's not really my favorite personally And this is probably one of the most wearable ouds that I could really think of maybe oud men around me Is a little bit easier to wear than this but overall definitely one of the easiest ouds that I've ever smelled to wear in my opinion The cons is I would say it's not really a hundred percent a con but I would say the oud for certain people It's just it's a love it or hate it if you like oud it's going to be in here if you don't like oud It's definitely there. It doesn't smell like something for somebody in high school It doesn't smell like something for people really in my opinion under 25 It has a little bit of this work style vibe I think this would probably sell the best in work overall just not really youthful This one doesn't really try to do anything groundbreaking like I said I've smelled a lot of fragrances that try to do this kind of dna, but it's more touched up It's more in its own direction and off, you know, which I usually tend to appreciate but for this one I actually like just how easy to wear it is and it's just something that I would not mind wearing Would not mind wearing it as a signature scent. It doesn't really do anything groundbreaking or new I had to put that in there maybe as a con for some people at some time But I actually almost think it's a pro because I like how simple it is. This was probably reformulated This has somewhat average projection when you first spray it on it seems like it's going to be really full It's got a really manly noticeable style smell beginning out into the world Wasn't cutting through other scents very good a windy outdoor environments It really wasn't holding on for more than like maybe an hour hour and a half two hours This was a very average style projection. It's wearable, but definitely isn't overkill and usually with niche fragrances and oud fragrances They usually are really really strong noticeable style fragrances. This one's kind of right down the middle But again, it wasn't bad. It's totally wearable. That's pretty much the only cons to this guys I'll be very interested to see what you think about the other montels Because I think they have like a honey oud and like a bunch of different oud style fragrances And it's really got me interested in trying them just because of how much I like this if I was going to give this A smell rating I'd give this between an eight to an eight point five Robust high quality good smell doesn't do anything super unique doesn't isn't groundbreaking But at the same time really enjoyed this one. I think a lot of other people would as well Likeability I'm gonna have to give this one an eight the most likeable oud that you can get There's going to be a certain amount of people who just it's not for them I totally get that this is one of the more likeable ouds And I think a lot of times you wear this it's just going to smell good in a lot of situations So I'm going to give it an eight for likeability and longevity and projection I'm going to give this prior to seven point five to an eight. It's right down the middle It's not beast mode at all, but it's not really weak either. So very very solid This one's probably going to excel the best at work I would say it's like a totally a hundred percent of work fragrance in my opinion But for some reason I I think of this more as like a signature scent to me personally But it would definitely go good with work and date is okay Again, if this is your signature scent, you know, I would wear it wherever I go So I would wear it on a date. I do think it'd be okay, but it doesn't scream date style fragrance to me Not a powerhouse style fragrance not really a gym style fragrance But overall really enjoyed this one was pleasantly surprised and I got to say after a few days It wasn't as mind-blowing as when I first smelled it Like like I said when I first smelled it it was like man I really enjoy that I kind of want to keep smelling overall I still have a lot of respect for it I would still love to wear a little honeymoon face has kind of sizzled out a little bit And it actually is I think somewhat affordable when I was looking online I mean, if it could have sworn it was like $80 for a three ounce of this I was like, wow, so I didn't know that montels and manceras actually can get pretty cheap online I know they're really high quality. I've tried cedra braze. I've tried red tobacco now. I'm trying this I think this might be my first montel. I think their sister companies comment down below if I'm wrong But anyways guys my first montel really really like in this one. What's your favorite in the montel ood line?
