Aoud Mayyas by Montale

*****
Year: 2013

Notes: orange, oud, cedar

Comment: Aoud Mayyas is an Arab Gulf states exclusive
With so few notes, one wasn't expecting much from Aoud Mayyas.

Regardless of the oud, it's more of a cedar (or is that Iso E Super?) based creation, with the oud only playing a supporting complementary role. The fleeting orange note doesn't reveal itself straight away but, when it does, it briefly exudes a pulpy sweetness.

Overall, it's mostly linear, provides minimal sillage and has really poor staying power. Compared to the Western Montales, it's severely lacking.
