The initial scent was so unusual that I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. However, the more I used it, the more I began to appreciate its unique character. This fragrance makes me feel grounded and strong—it's very much rooted in the "real world," not something dreamy or whimsical. I asked people around me for their thoughts, and the feedback was mixed. While they didn’t love the scent, they found it intriguing. They described it as making me come across as confident, almost aggressive, and a bit of a "bad guy." It’s not everyone’s favorite, but there’s something about it that draws people in, even if they’re not completely sure why. Unfortunately, it seems this fragrance is no longer in production, so I may never see it on shelves again. It’s a shame because it’s one of the most interesting scents I’ve ever encountered. Scent Notes: 1) Old wood and leather furniture 2) Underground storage and car garage 3) Smoky, tobacco ash 4) Burnt plastic I was doing review of another almond scent, then remembered I had this one as well, so decided to compare a bunch together and do a review. I'm a bit surprised by the negative reviews here, but I suspect that is based on the fact that there is not enough info on the notes, and people may be expecting something entirely different. I would suggest CSP Eclats d'Amande, which is almond, cinnamon and light wood without any floral, if that is the case. Montale is one of those lines where you kind of have to like their particular oud note, since it seems to pervade most of their line. Yes, there is that quality of "cat pee" in their oud, though it's more apparent in other Montale scents I own, so I would not suggest buying this blind. It's not unpleasant on my skin, and it dries down to a nice, smoky (as in tolerable smoky) almond vanilla close-to-skin scent with that hint of oud, and it's not candy or pastry sweet. It's certainly a more complex almond scent, and it's not in-your-face potent or "playdoh-y" (not really, but that's what people say) like Hypnotic Poison, which I do happen to like, but don't wear as often because that one is such a conspicuous scent. The opening smells like when your VCR gets overheated and the plastic film of the VHS tape starts to melt. However, it becomes sweeter as it dries and morphs into something much better. ...
