   |  Urgggh! What the hell is this?! Where’s the almond? Where’s the vanilla? This just smells so synthetic and Play-Dohish, with very little sweetness. After a couple of hours, it does develop into something slightly promising but it’s still not enough to make me want to persevere.****** If you’re interested in purchasing any Montale fragrances, please consider our highly-respected Basenotes member, maisonstinky, as your first point of contact.

   | When I first apply, I also get, um, urine. After a good long time, that vanishes and I get a perfectly nice, pleasant almond, one that I would normally be pleased to have, since some other almond fragrances have smelled to me like stale nuts and this is nice and fresh. But it's not delightful enough to get me past the beginning. 05 November 2008 |
 |  I need to give this another go, smells like Elmer's glue to me. Or that brownish colored syrup paste we used in old school.03 July 2008 |
 | Oh how I was prepared to love this fragrance. The notes of vanilla and almond are two of my favorites. Unfortunately, this juice goes from bad to worse on my skin. It starts off bitter and cloyingly sweet at the same time (as if someone had added cups and cups of sugar to a burned and ruined pudding), and then progresses quickly to the smell of concentrated urine! We're talking nursing home here! I know this is not what others are smelling (obviously), and so I've tried this fragrance repeatedly with the hope that my nervous system would "reassign" how this fragrance registers in brain. Alas, it's not to be...I still get wet diapers. 11 June 2008 |
 |  A luverly amaretto-esque gourmand, with a sweet vanilla to cut the almond notes. I would like it even better had it some spice (some cinnamon, perhaps, or clove), but it's still a damn interesting Montale. Thumbs up, though I likely will save my pennies for Black Aoud.07 January 2008 |
 | I'm getting some really unusual notes here: The opening smells of medicinal, burned- almond aroma, with a slight, burned vanilla with an aoud edge to it. It takes getting used to, but I could easily learn to like it … but probably not love it, because, unfortunately for me, it doesn’t develop. It retains that same burned aspect that I don’t know how to describe, except that it seems almost like a woody note, but not quite regular, sandard wood. At any rate Amandes Orientales is a unique scent. It is not very sweet, but it is certainly warm and medicinal. I rather like this scent and its uniqueness. I guess I’ll give it a hesitant thumb’s up. 25 December 2007 |
