This is a really interesting scent and not your average freshy. The closest thing I can think of to compare this with is Bleu De Chanel, but made interesting and niche. Imagine BDC on LSD 🍄 It starts very bright with a rush of bergamot followed up quickly with black currants and honeysuckle which I love The hyacinth is there too and it gives it a floral touch but not heavy florals. The opening and mid is very fresh and clean and slightly aquatic from the beachwood. I do get the maple leaf and the oak and that is the interesting part. The oak isn't really woody, but mixed with citrus make this fragrance mouthwatering. The maple and amber give it a golden hue and gives it the "Sunset" vibe which is what this perfume is all about. You will smell different (in a good way) with this refreshing fragrance. Montauk is a fruity aromatic woods. The fragrance starts out pretty fresh and optimistic. With deep aromatics, fresh and semi-aquatic, projecting something like bruised fruit. Accenting this aqueous accord is a nice warming tinge—slightly abrasive and nicely artistic—provided by a half-way decent driftwood note. My sample with Montauk wasn't a full one, but from what I did pick up, it seems to start getting a little too chilly for comfort in the drydown. The warming tinge (and its stimulation) entirely burns out, inviting this very chilly green-blue aromatic quality to take precedence. It was kind of stingy—and hazy in a bad way. And from the warm welcome, leaves you feeling all alone and deserted. Given this fact, it's hard for me to even consider Montauk decant worthy. It's nice and fresh, a bit warming, and welcoming, and versatile; but only in the opening. The current version wouldn't make much better than a decent soap—or beauty bar for the hands. Holding back I would assume. Bad market strategy. And with that, the greater potential of this fragrance is lost for everybody. Including the masses of the 99% that could never afford to actually live in Montauk—but whose collective revenue could easily afford a pretty piece of it. This was one of many Bonds i hadn't got around to sampling. Well, i finally did. It immediately smelled familiar to me. To me, this smells like a cross between Chez Bond and Riverside Drive, both of which are masculine scents...
