Any European Basenoters try this one yet? Thoughts positive and/or negative

Sure blind buy for me.

[stuartb]

No, but looks up my street.. I'd go for a blind buy on this.

Looks like one of those you'd love to smell just because of the name.....and the listed notes don't hurt, either.

[StylinLA]

Yow, I do like the look of that...

Anxious to hear about this when someone gets a nose on it.

I'd be open trying this one, like the notes breakdown.

[gimmegreen]

Sounds soooo promising - but as always with Montale, it will be wait and see: so often their listed notes don't match what you're actually smelling.

[morrison74]

Yum.

Instant blind buy for me. Can’t wait to sniff it. Thanks for posting!

I saw this on Instagram yesterday, looking forward to buying it ASAP.

Kinda nice that they have also focussed on a single release as well.

Just had this sent to me from abroad. Should have it in a week. Looking forward to Montale # 218

Definitely interested in your opinion of this when you get it. Be sure to update us

hednic, I own and like wearing Sweet Oriental Dream. I'm certain you own it too, do you wear it ?

I have worn it for sure, but it's quite a while since I last did.

I wonder if it will smell like Mancera's Aoud Vanille, which is great IMHO

[mrcologneguy]

Wonder how close this will be to Axe/Lynx Oud Wood & Dark Vanilla. £5 versus, oh, maybe 20 times that? And the Lynx juice is pretty good stuff. Can’t wait to read comparisons.

Anxious for any initial thoughts. Anyone sniffed this yet?

[NickZee]

I wonder if it might have any similarities to....PdM Layton. It’s catching fire atm.

[hednic]

Received mine yesterday. Doesn't have any similarities to PDM Layton - at least not to me.

What does it smell like to you? What notes do you pick out from it?

Does it have any similarities to Chanel Egoiste?

No powerful oud note in this one, Hednic?

[amw9490]

Patiently waiting for some samples/decants to pop up on eBay. Not a huge fan of Montale, but Dark Vanilla looks promising.

Oh it's there, just not as much in your face with some of their other releases.

I know they are completely different fragrances, but do you like this one more than Oud Tobacco from a house standpoint? And from 1-10 how high does it score to you? Thanks Hednic!

I enjoy it just a tad better than Oud Tobacco and it rates a 8.5 for me.
