Aoud Lime, from Montale was released in 2005. The perfumer behind this creation is Pierre Montale. The notes are Agarwood (Oud), Amber, Iris, Patchouli, Rose, Saffron, Sandalwood.
Pierre Montale's credentials are questionable for me are far as Oud perfumes are concerned. However, even if not all to my taste, the artistry and quality is always apparent. I'm amazed at how diverse the fragrance collection is with what is quite a limited range of notes he seems to play with the accords of things like Oud, rose and leather within themselves creating a wealth of new bases for fragrances and somehow retaining a signature. Opening with... surprise, surprise lime. Yes I read the notes on this page before I tried it and was disappointed not to find lime there. So imagine my joy when it was there... Harmony in the universe had been restored! It's not a citrus more like those chocolate (probably patchouli) lime sweets you can get. (which I actually don't care for!) And call me mad but the opening has a malty whisky vibe to it to me just for a moment. Aoud lime features yet another take on Oud coupled with Rose and patchouli. When the rose starts out it's a rose lovers dream but frankly too much for me. The patchouli in this creates an earthy dirty vibe which is carried into the dry down when the rose settles right back it's pure Oud and filthy patchouli, very dark indeed. There's a spiceness to it which keeps it sharp despite all that wood and mud. Insane longevity and projection as with every Montale I've ever sampled.
