To me, Aoud Line opens with a strong dark rose (Turkish Rose) and a dark woods accord. After a few minutes, the rose begins to separate itself from the oud, patchouli and what I believe to be teak wood. Although I have smelled teak wood in various arts and crafts, I don’t often smell this note in fragrance, and plucking it out of a kickin’ Mancera Rose-Aoud fragrance is no easy task.
In this case, I get more of a dark woods vibe–or even guaiac wood–since it’s buried behind a screaming rose. For some reason, I also detect some spices such as pepper and ginger; Aoud Line is bit warm/soft spicy at this point even though no spices are listed in the notes pyramid. Moreover, I detect a light sweetness which I will attribute to the vanilla and raspberry. Both notes are indescribable at this point. Rose, dark woods, patchouli and sweet and warm/soft spices are really very nice.
This fragrance remains fairly linear with that Turkish Rose at the forefront from top-to bottom. Although the oud steps forward almost immediately, to me it seems to combine with the teak wood and patchouli giving Aoud Line a dark woods accord and not-so much an oudy feeling; it’s all about rose and dark woods for the 2-1/2 to 3-hours. The vanilla-amber-raspberry trio slowly emerge and give Aoud Line a bit more depth and, in my opinion, a sweet-sour accord. Let’s call this threesome the Kingston Trio because it sits in the background behind the rose and dark woods. Okay, I do like this sour-sweetness…but I get the feeling some may not. Also, this eventually does become a very nice amber scent, but that phase doesn’t happen until 6+ hours on my skin.
To me, it’s basically rose, dark woods and the Kingston Trio during the drydown which, on my skin, lasts a solid 12+ hours. This fragrance projects very well for the 4-5 hours and will leave a nice scent trail as with all the Montale/Mancera Rose-Aoud fragrances. Moreover, you will smell it on your clothing the next week or two; no problems with longevity and projection.
Overall, Aoud Line is a very nice rose-oud fragrance (Well Done!) but I have several Montale Mancera Rose-Aoud fragrances and Aoud Line is just not that different, unique, or one of my favorites. But your mileage may vary. Rose-Aoud fans will probably love this one–I do–but, honestly, there are just so many Montale-Mancera fragrances that are similar to this one that I would definitely try it first. Folks who don’t like rose or oud…well, you should move on because you won’t like this one.

This is sexy stuff! Just got it. Can’t wait for the weather to get colder ao I can pull it off. Performance is BEAST on it.
incigueinteby – :
First all Mr. Montale it’s called Oud not Aoud.
Second, there is not enough oud here for you to call it Oud line. Oud is very minimal and in the background.
It’s ok. Nothing special. But not bad. Berries and rose.

Impressive all around, very long lasting, silage is unbelievable and compliments galore. I am enjoying this fragrance but I love anything from Mancera and or Montale, just impressive long lasting ,daring fragrances……….5 Stars!

For me, this one leans much more feminine than masculine. It has the thick sweetness characteristic of women’s perfumes. The oud, rose and raspberry are very prominent. I did not feel comfortable wearing it. Performance was great. Way too expensive for what it is though.

Love it. Unisex. Beautiful. Oud/raspberry combo flanked by Amber, woodsy notes, a little patchouli, vanilla and just a little rose. I went to the store hoping to walk out with Cedrat Boise but walked out with this one instead. beautiful composition. The star here is the raspberry note. It pairs well with the darker notes (Oud, woods, and patchouli), taking them to a different place compared to other compositions that have this combination.

per chi volesse provare un profumo con sentori mediorentali a base si rosa o oud senza spendere un capitale (leggi: i vari oud di montale, anche perchè il naso che ci sta dietro è lo stesso) e senza avventurarsi tra economici acquisti online alla cieca, ecco un ottimo accordo di rosa, oud e frutti rossi. come tutti gli oud che si rispettino l’inizio è frastornante e superlegnoso mentre la rosa conferisce un che di caramellato che si potenzia grazie ai lamponi. nonostante le note floreali e fruttate, chi ha dimestichezza con i profumi arabi si accorgerà che si tratta di una fragranza sostanzialmente maschile anche se, con meraviglie di questo tipo, il genere c’entra poco. bello, caldo, persistentissimo, vale la pena di averlo e di lasciarsi avvolgere da questa scia.

first few mins.. smells very feminine.. after few hours.. smells like jawaher that i bought from ASAQ house..
I like it but no “wow” effect. I smell rose but not usual rose.. high quality rose.. the ouds are just like background singer.
try it before buy it.

Revisiting this fragrance again…oh how I love it. 4oz is way to much juice when or if you’re a collector like me, I stopped buying the largest bottles when I got past the 50 bottle mark. Unless your going to split or decant, which I don’t, one would barely put a dint in this bottle. Why I say all this? Bc this juice is very Very VEry VERy VERY powerful! Silage monster. But the smell….oh the smell. Is divine. What I think we all want oud to smell like. Not masculine or feminine, just perfect down the middle guys. Full bottle on the way!!
Meues055intitytek – :
This really has my attention. The silage is nice and a 50ml bottle is all one needs, collector of not, a couple sprays will get you through the day.
This is definitely unisex, right down the middle. This is the second one I’ve smelled so far from this house and it makes me want to see what all the Oud compositions this house has out is all about.
Update, I put just a little dab of this on my arm last night, 14 hrs ago and after sleeping all night under the sheets, this stuff is still projecting hard and is strong!!! The best thing, the scent turns in to a wonderful Oud smell! So nice!!

Careful with the trigger, this is POTENT stuff, BEWARE! You have been warned!!
Great fragrance….sweet, musky; the sillage is wonderful especially with only one spray. Just received, so I will return with a more detailed review.
Update:
This is powerful stuff!!! Sillage is outstanding……dry down is somewhat similar to that of Opus V-Amouage, although unique from the oud and sweetness. Unfortunately, I have not tried Montale-Aoud Night so I can not offer any thoughts.
I agree with Enigmatic.777; there is a berry (ness) feel to this; goes on sweet however don’t let that fool you or deter you from desiring this great juice. As the fragrance evolves it layers out into a fine oud blend that is amazing! With one spray, 8+ hours, it is as if I just sprayed it on. There is this spicy oud mixed with rasberry that comes through the sweetness that’s just amazing; also, there is a velvety sweet kind of a Journey Man feel, in addition to the aforementioned…..
Mancera fragrances are great in that they last and last…..
Projection: 8 out of 10
Longevity: 8 out of 10
Sillage: 10 out of 10
Overall: 9 out of 10
Great fragrance!
By the way, I sprayed this on around 5:00pm on Wednesday and can still smell this on my arm Thursday during lunch time!

On my girl skin, this does not seem to perform. The opening in my case is very medicinal, it is still pleasant, but a complete disinfectant smell. If I wanted to wear disinfectant, I would be over the moon that it exists in such a nice wearable form. This stage passes on skin, but lingers on clothes for days.
What my skin makes it is a smoky wood. Again, pleasant, nice, wearable; but not as special as I hoped. Does it project and last like crazy? No, on me it does not. I tried one spray and I tried 4-5 sprays, it wore quite the same, fairly close to the skin. It is definitely there for around 10-12 hrs, but not noticeable. And as time passes and it fades on the skin, the disinfectant smell on clothing starts to reappear.
Do I pick up roses, amber or raspberry? I distinctly notice rose only when sniffing the bottle and caught a whiff of raspberry exactly once. There is a sweetness to it, and like I keep saying, it is nice and pleasant and blended, but somewhat uninteresting. Smoky incense, wood.
I don’t always like woody notes, and this is definitely the best woody scent I have tried so far. However, it definitely did not live up to my expectations. I will keep testing it some more, but if anyone is interested in a EU swap, I would not mind passing my bottle on to someone else.

Being an Oud lover, this is a top shining star in my collection. The combination of Raspberry, Rose along with Oud is just phenomenal. Though I wish Rose could be a bit less in the opening but no complains as it equally suits both the genders.
It’s an all season, day & night perfume but I prefer to wear it mostly during winter. Good news for those who crave for compliments – these gem will not let you down !!
I personally get compliments every time I wear it.
Overall this is great perfume provided that if you are an OUD lover.
Scent : 10/10
Sillage : 9/10
Longevity : 10/10 easily lasts +24 hrs (Trust me)

Just got a bottle! Worth every penny !

Very wearable as the oud is in the background and does not have a medicinal vibe. This is all about raspberry and rose and should appeal to both sexes equally. Males that love Tuscan Leather but want something a bit softer should like this and women who feel that TL is great but a bit too masculine should like this as well. Performance is above average with this one as is the standard for Montale/Mancera. Can be worn throughout the year which is a big plus for an oud scent.

Impressive silage… Very powerful fragrance. Two sprays and I got Nuclear projection. Smells wonderful … But you must try on your skin before buying a full bottle . In my opinion rather have Black Line …. It’s also beautiful and less “explosive” on my skin. Don’t forget … Opinions are very personal … I can smell and ” see” high quality ingredients… So really worth it ( I don’t get any medicinal smell comparing with similar fragrances from Montale Paris )
