Description

Oriental Flowers is introduced in 2008 as one of the collection of six new fragrances by Montale. Three of those fragrances belong to Aoud Collection, while the other three come within the regular fragrance line of the house.

The dream of the orient was captured in the moment of creation of this fragrance which brings wafts of rose, bergamot, ylang-ylang, followed by orris root and jasmine blossom. The base includes Peru balsam. The fragrance is available as 100ml (3.4 fl.oz.) EDP.

The nose behind this fragrance is Pierre Montale.

    Exceptional lasting power. It’s not the nicest smell, but it’s a great perfume. Does that make any sense?
    Hmm, I think it smells like toilet spray… strong and could overpower the smell of just about anything!

    At the beginning its a bit offensive but only like 1 minute, then it has a pleasant oriental flower smell for like 1-2 hours but its not very longlasting

    This smells super gourman to me – very almondy for some reason! Oriental gourman to me. Love it!

    I have Miller Harris Rose en Noir and Im puzzled that someone can see a similarity. Its a very faint one if at all. On my skin this is very heavy on the Peru Balsam with just a bit of rose and ylang. Very disappointing. There is at least a decent amount of rose in Miller Harriss creation. This is heavy to the point of being unctuous. Its obvious why it has just long longevity but whats the point if it smells so icky. Its also like many other Montales very chemically smelling. Ive tried pretty much all the fragrances apart from a couple of oud ones and they all smell very chemically.

    Received a sample of this today in a package I received from Arcane Incantation (on Ebay)–forgot the decant I ordered of Guerlain Duet Rose & Patchouli once I had dabbed this on my wrists!!! omg, talk about sillage, talk about longevity–talk about an absolutely gorgeous fragrance!!! My very first Montale purchase, and will be doing some serious research on this House.
    Highly recommend!

    To my surprise, Montale ORIENTAL FLOWERS lists no patchouli among its notes, although it was the first thing I thought that I smelled upon application. I’m rather baffled by this, to be honest. One hypothesis I came up with is that when my box of samples arrived and a couple of them had come loose from their cards, perhaps I reaffixed them to the wrong cards. I had compared the colors of the strays side-by-side with another set I had received earlier since there were some helpful overlaps. I think that I won’t really believe that this is ORIENTAL FLOWERS until I test another vial attached to a different card. For now, let me simply say that peru balsam plus orris appears to impart an earthy quality bearing serious similarities to patchouli.
    In fact, the huge sillage and potency of ORIENTAL FLOWERS even reminded me a bit of Juliette Has A Gun VENGEANCE EXTREME–and that’s saying a lot since I only wear that perfume at home and have also discovered that it is quite effective at covering up any lingering traces of nearly any perfume which I’ve tested and do not like. My preference in such a situation is to take a long dip in a hot bath, but on occasion that is not feasible, which is fine since I always know that I can count on VENGEANCE EXTREME instead.
    Back to ORIENTAL FLOWERS: this smells really wonderful. Very rich with an oozing golden balsam quality. The oriental facet definitely outweighs the floral aspect of this composition, so I find it quite unisex although I suppose that the sillage is going to be too overwhelming for a lot of people–guys and gals alike. This is an example of a perfume which wears you, so don’t expect to be able to devote your full attention to anything since it is impossible not to notice the tent of scent which ORIENTAL FLOWERS generates.
    That’s a good thing in this case, in my view, because the notes blend together perfectly, but this is a textbook example of a try-before-you-buy perfume!
    ——————-
    Update: I tested a second sample and still smelled patchouli! Perhaps it’s an olfactory illusion, or perhaps there really is patchouli in this perfume!

    Wow, this was sharp on me. Not to be argumentative, but very few Montales work on my skin and rather than getting an elegant blend of flowers over a warm vanillic balsam base, I got sharpness and something suspiciously like aoud. I like aoud, but it must be balanced and this one never balanced out on me. Screaming loud sharp notes the whole time. Try before purchasing. If you like aouds, I DO recommend trying this line: There are many variations and some of them are truly intriguing. Oriental Flowers isn’t one I liked, however.

    Very lovely, mellow floral with oriental notes. Going on my “must possess” list! All the Montales have exceptional lasting power. Once you have worn these, it is hard to go back to Department store brands, not trying to be snobby, I have a whole closet full, but can only bring myself to wear the MOntales now.
