Review of Nepal Oud by aad de gids

this is a sultry and opulent perfume. I started buying Montale in 2003 so I guess I had this perfume in 2014. and there was the same Enigma: the first spritz after quite a while. I didn't now brought my nose to my pulse but clearly smelled... Gasoline. I knew what effused that, in the build up 'overdepôt' of the 10 year old flacon: the Nepalese Oudh. I have always said there IS OUD IN MONTALE. of course not Tonnes in each perfume. I think they work with microdosages. it has to be bc some guy once wrote: 'do they hold a gun to mr. Pierre Montales head that he every 3 seconds comes with a new perfume ?'. I had to laugh loudly. and imagining his Factories he is now a Multi National plus the CEO. but in the mean time this is a sophisticated and subtle (as subtle as a Montale can be) perfume with immediately the Dance of Rose and Oud. I understand this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it is mine. the Rose is refined and reaches a sourness, Citronnade, Bigarade. the Oud thus, is discreetly foul in the beginning to turn to a Dry and Strurdy Wall of a Wood later. Roses and Woods go well together. I also read here some time ago that 'Oud' also means 'Wood'. but the resined and anti funghal mechanisms of the Agar produces a lot of scent and it can go all the way around. I should say there is a Band-Aid aspect to it, which enlevens the perfume for me, IF the Rose is there and swirls her feminine petals around. I also could pick out the Saffron, Nutmeg, Leather, Amber and Vanilla. perhaps that is why 'Intense Café' is chosen as a referential comparison. but I do not agree. and that doesn't matter. the perfume is not obsolete and I find none of the Rose-Oud perfumes of Montale obsolete bc they would cover territory with each other. no no no. they are all unique, persevering and beautifying the surroundings with Strong Odors. and that is precisely how I like it.
