Arabian tales: Montale Amandes Orientales EDP - review
I invite you on a magical journey to the East, along with the wayward and unusual fragrance from Montale.
Niche fragrance-unisex Montale Amandes Orientales eau de parfum was launched in 2010 by French perfumer, a master of his craft, Pierre Montal. For several years he lived and worked in Saudi Arabia, creating unique fragrances for royalty. No wonder the local flavor and culture so inspired by the perfumer, on his return to France, he created his own brand Montale, and a whole line of Oriental fragrances. Name Amandes Orientales is translated as "Almond of the East". Aroma belongs to the group of Eastern gourmet.
Pyramid flavor.
Top notes: vanilla, almond
Heart notes: musk
Plume notes: Oriental spices
But Montal would not be Montal if created from these ingredients the usual "delicious" perfume history. Amandes Orientales, enclosed in a silver metal bottle (I have a version with a volume of 20 ml) and a black pouch — aroma complex, expressive, with character. To understand his attitude, one satest on the back side of the wrist is undoubtedly too little. You have to live with him at least one day.
Every moment he reveals new, never ceasing to surprise you with its metamorphoses. First manifested light bitterness, dry roasted almonds and a subtle sweet vanilla, then the smell of fresh cut white lilies and... gouache. Together, these notes give an unexpected, spicy, tart, and very persistent Oriental cocktail.
In the descriptions Amandes Orientales I have often seen Association with a young concubine of an Arab Sheikh. I think this fragrance is still for older girls. Rather, it is the story of the shrew Eastern Princess. At least the flavor is stated as unisex, men I cannot imagine.
For summer Amandes Orientales is definitely not the place — too rich. I absolutely "see" it in the fall, that's when the aroma is nice and warming, as if enveloping bliss. Thanks to its sensuality, it is definitely evening.
But, as with all the Montale, it still causes mixed feelings. I can tell immediately surrounding this fragrance did not understand, and some of it seemed too intense, even annoying. I myself have experienced it only on the third or fourth time, previously heard only suffocating notes of lilies, but then suddenly started to feel gourmet notes of Oriental sweets. On aroma seems more relaxed and pleasant than someone else. By the way, overdo it simple — one drop too much, and the scent sounds to you harsh and even a little disgusting.
This fragrance does not become "mine", since I still prefer a more calm composition and are hesitant to put it often, but he definitely hooked me with its originality and unpredictability. Amandes Orientales to want to return again and again to continue to be surprised as it unfolds. I think that this fall it a couple of times to keep me company on a cool night.
Thanks for stopping by!
