Very good warm leather scent. I get the same warm leather vibe I get from Memo African Leather. Longevity is pretty good… It’s staying around on my skin for a while. Not overly sweet… This is a great blend of ambery sweet leather, some oud, cardamom, and vetiver in the background. A winner in my opinion.

It may be the heavy patchouli, but I get an immediate surface similarity with A*Men. Could also be the minty lavender combined with wood/musk as well. This isn’t as polarizing, but similarly complex and interesting. The drydown goes its own way, however, a pleasant, more mainstream perfume smell. I understand the love this gets, but not worth the price tag, IMHO. Typically strong/piercing like most all Montales, but not overwhelming. Pretty nice release.

I want to blind buy this more than ANYthing. Grew up riding and showing Arabian horses, so I feel like I’m destined to own and love this. I just can’t justify this price point for a blind buy. Maybe one day.

Tough to add on to what everyone else has said about this one. Ive had a decant for almost a year now.. definitely full bottle worthy. A very special scent. A true compliment getter. My top 5 Montales so far, Black Aoud, Red Aoud, Arabians, Orange Aoud and Intense Cafe

Certainly weaker than the beastly black Oud but very strong nonetheless. Very nice combination of suede, amber, florals, and cardamom. It’s not as simple as other Montale perfumes and it certainly has a character. Well worth having.

I love the bottle design. This seemed similar to other Montales where it’s oud mixed with something sweet. Here it smells like an indescribable slew of florals, herbs, and oud. Mint being prominent. It’s okay. I wish the oud was more frontline instead of staying in the background. I expected more from the name.

Montale Arabians seemed to be one of the bigger releases from the house of late, no doubt in part due to its bottle design, which departs from the straightforward, but its reception has been somewhat mixed as I perceive it.
Still, in finally trying it out, I love it. It’s a mix of leather, oud, patchouli, rose, lavender, amber. It has the earthy, animalic, acerbic side but also a floral, bright, and sweet side. I don’t get so much rose specifically–the lavender is the single biggest floral standout. Even the amber doesn’t factor in a ton except for being the likeliest source of the sweetness.
It reminds me of the smooth blend of Burberry London, though instead of a sweet/spicy tobacco, Arabians is more sweet/spicy oud/leather/woody mix with a touch of cardamom and florals.
It’s a robust performer, strong on projection and longevity as most cold-weather-leaning Montales are, though admittedly not as strong as the strongest Montales. The retail pricing ($170 for 100ml) might still be a high ask since it has a bit of synthetic vibe (again, not uncommon) but I’m sure there are deals to be found on it.
A very nice Montale entry that I’m pleasantly surprised to love.

second review:
I gave this to my husband…
he kept borrowing it and I had (reluctantly) to admit that it is much better on him…
There is a masculinity in this perfume that just can’t be ignored; this is truly fantastic on a man.
On him this is a very attractive, well balanced spicy,woody scent with phenomenal longevity and perfect silage: it’s noticeable but not suffocating.
It’s soooo good…
…but I ‘m a little upset that it likes him better- I wanted this for myself.

Fantastic fragrance by montale. Im starting to like this house because of the quality of the juice and also the price. It opens up with a blast of oud to me. Oud is one of the strongest notes in fragrances. Patchouli and cardamom. Yes i can detect the rose in this one. kinda got me that vibe of lyric man by amouage without the oud. Not a huge fan of rose unless its mix up with other notes.This one is really nice. Last bout 10 hours in my skinn or more depends how much you spray. Dry down is phenomenal.

This was love at first sniff for me. I got a sample and had to get the full bottle. It has a smooth spiced semi rosey oudy warmth, there’s a comfortable earthy quality to it that comes off more natural than dirty, and the overall blend of notes is done so well. It’s becoming very addictive to me. Very nice one from Montale! This instantly moved up the list to one of my favorites from the house. Top tier.

I pick up a creamy oud accord and a hefty dose of cardamom. The patchouli and leather and lavender round it out. Nice enough release by Montale for sure, but nothing real special. There’s kind of a designer quality about it… all the edges are rounded out and it actually has a bit of that “Macy’s counter” vibe to it about an hour into the dry down.

Wow!!! Just wow!!!
I got a bottle of this yesterday and I couldn’t be more happy with my purchase and more surprised with myself for choosing something so different of what I usually wear.
I was looking for a new perfume for some time now (almost three weeks) and I discovered this just yesterday?!
Arabians is a totally unisex modern “noir” oriental if that makes any sense.
First impression is of something quite familiar- after all there are a few perfumes with the same theme but this is so well blended and rounded that even in it’s loudness isn’t in any way annoying.
It lasted for more than 20H during which it kept projecting and I know because this morning (and I shower at night before going to bed) husband said without being asked that he could still smell it even though I couldn’t.
The oud and the rose are the protagonists here and they never leave the stage but the supporting notes are making this perfume so special.
I find this very sensual, seductive, mysterious but at the same time cozy…
This could definitely work on a man, that same husband tried it yesterday at the store and it was great on him too: less sweet, with stronger oud.
I believe I’m going to enjoy wearing it during winter and maybe longer…
The only thing that I don’t really like is that I may have to share it…
Anyway, do try it, you may find it surprisingly good!!!

Good but nothing outstanding. A good scent of brand Montale. Similar to many others by Montale.

This fragrance reminds me a lot of La nuit de l’homme EDT ( without the vanilla ) mixed with La nuit de l’homme Parfum, and a touch of middle eastern vibe. There is a lot of cardamome and cinnamon in the opening, and then after a bit ( 15 minutes ) a heavy dose of Patchouli. In the dry down, you can definitely smell rose and vetiver. Oud is on the side for this one, you can not really smell it, but there he is. He maintain the fragrance balanced. An incredible one from the house of Montale, more on the occidental sidel tho.
Performance with this one are like..Oh my God !
Lonngevity : 10hr +
Projection : It literally fill the room. No point here, words are enough.
Sillage: 10/10
Scent : 7.3/10
Very good woody and a little spicy fragrance.
If you are an Oud aficionado, this one might disappoint you, although if you are right in the middle, I would really recommend it to you guys !
++++ Nice !
