If Duro tips over...
...this is what happens. I may begrudge it to anyone who likes the scent, but I find it unfortunately by worlds more modest than Duro. Where Duro shows a clear, woody edge in the drydown, the Montale seems sweaty and monotonous. I was already asked the first time I wore it on textile if I could use deodorant, it smells so pungent like sweat. The colleague was right in retrospect. I think he can leave an impression of sweaty clothes with some "recipients"
This has never happened to me with Duro and even though Duro is a purely synthetic fragrance, it is more pleasant. Fresher and less musty.

Most perfume connoisseurs won't want to accuse this fragrance of a sweaty muff, neither will I really. But I can easily understand this association.
He's a risk. He's not bad. But I can't find anybody who likes him, at least not in the 2019 version.

The 2016 batch smelled even more pleasant and rosy in my nose. The head remains duro in a slightly less sharp version, but the drydown is almost unpleasant for me. I don't think that it is generally well received by the majority. You wear this scent for yourself. I could imagine that the layman could smell a mixture of petrol, sweat, duro and hairspray. That may sound hard, but I have already had experiences of this kind. Definitely a negative compliment getter, if you have bad luck
I love most Montale fragrances insanely!
But this one is the one I dislike most in this house. I have no use for it whatsoever.

The hype is completely incomprehensible to me.

Heavy Musk
For me Aoud Musk remembers Amouage Opus VI, which i find a little bit more balanced.

Aoud Musk is indeed a wonderful fragrance but quite linear. Lots of ebony wood, a little oud and of course, musk.

Lasts for a long time with excellent sillage and projection.

Unisex and really sexy. Worth it certainly.

Montale / Aoud Musk
Because I have Duro by Nasomatto and this scent was bothering me ... including the price - I started looking for a perfume with a similar scent max. After a few different attempts (there were swiss arabian, some strange companies) I found Montale, which has a very decent perfume - in terms of durability and projection, and the special ones with oud (aoud) in the name. Because I'm not a fan of rose in men's perfumes (Arabs use it very often in various men's products - it rejects me), and there are a lot of rose products in Montale - in this case - AOUD MUSK - there is no rose (Yupii), and the ingredients are the same . I read, checked and ordered without castings and samples - based on ingredients, the Internet, opinions of foreign portals and opinions of foreign critics' noses and their publications and ... BINGO.
Ladies and Gentlemen - if someone likes and keeps smelling the wrist sprinkled with DURO (Nasomatto) - he can buy blindfolded. Great fragrance and extremely complementary. It stays on for a long time and smells distinctly, and the price ... can be bought at a very good price. Very long durability. And I don't have to save a bag of money to pay Nasomatto for 30 ml of perfume, because it's not worth it anymore.
As for the smell - the power of OUDU (synthetic agar), wood, musk - expressive, very slightly sweet (I don't like sweet perfumes) - for me 99% similar to DURO. Skin tests on both hands. A pro by DURO- holds 30% of the fragrance in relation to AOUD MUSK (Montale)! I tested it. Besides - in my opinion no. 1 when it comes to Montale, and in the next places for me (Dark Aoud, Vetiver Patchouli, Full Incense, Bakhoor)

Aoud Musk, Duro or Opus VI? Up to you, they are all great
A bottled lasted me for years, to the point I became anosmic to it.
Strong, pungent, chemically-oudy. My girlfriend loves this one and hates Duro, which instead I slightly prefer. But I get her point: this one is strong but dry, while Duro has more going on from head to body, making it "sweeter". It takes time to evaluate both in comparison. In my case, it will take weeks or months to be able to perceive their whole depth again, after years of daily use.

Edit: after sampling Amouage Opus VI, I find it the closest match so far, just smokier than Aoud Musk.
Opus VI is my favorite among the three.

Excellent fragrance
Aoud Musk is another of my favorites and one of the best that Montale has to offer. I get compliments every time I wear this out.

In terms of sillage and longevity, this one is off the charts. It's every bit as strong and long lasting as Black Aoud, if not stronger.

A rather dry and musky, yet dark oriental earthy-woody Winter fragrance, with a pungent, medicinal leathery-spicy opening. Very masculine.

A brutal salty iodine opening. Evolves into a merely acceptable musky oud-saffron scent, once settled on skin
