Reformulated...
... ...and, unfortunately, completely robbed of his soul. In the 2020 version he is only a shadow of his former self. What was once a gourmand sounding Fougère with a great recognition value is now just a mild breeze of lowest concentration.

The current version acts as a seasonal flanker, just like the former Summer series. Much too diluted, rather EDC concentration, more citric and the performance has become absolutely underground.

But now it comes in a higher quality packaging! Wow! Well, the mainstream customer will fall for it.

That was the last "bottle" I bought from Le Male.

First Fleur du Male gets mashed up and then this! I guess the Gaultier days are over too. Pity...

You can clearly see how the label is spinning on savings. I can no longer recommend it.

Who is looking for a good alternative: RD Scandal , AM Reflection, Ph. Wolff Château Phillip or Alexandria 2

A Utt A Mayzhing !!!
Where are they anyway, Mr. Montale's star starmarketers? The ladies and gentlemen who develop concepts to successfully place the product? They are probably working underground. Because no fragrance of the house is more underrated and more misplaced than this one.

This scent should be the actual oudmazing. I must agree with the previous speaker 100%. Why this fragrance is not being totally hyped and instead is currently in the ratings behind Black Aoud and Oudmazing remains a mystery to me today. This fragrance is the epitome of a round, wearable Rose Aoud in its original version. It dispenses with ornamentation and provides a solid Rose Aoud framework, which with the appropriate perfume experience can be expanded and layered to a fruity experience.

He's loud, but not pushy. He starts in a classic Roseoud marnier and neither hairspray nor animalistic synthetic impressions come to the fore. He is bursting with power and compared to Black Aoud he doesn't seem a bit soapy or even boringly one-dimensional.

It has a very high quality effect in all phases and shows a clear development into astringency. Less sweaty than the Attar of the house. Very socially acceptable and at the same time very high quality and noble looking. Towards the base it reminds slightly of Oud for Greatness, but remains generally brighter, more radiant and fruity than this. In the drydown, however, it goes very masculine. Ladies could complement it very well with Oudmazing to strengthen the feminine impression. Men can keep it the other way round. But in principle it doesn't need any layering, because it looks anything but monotonous or even monotonous. A rock solid chord with fine ornaments in the right place.

For me, the fragrance is in no way inferior to a big aoud from the high-end houses, despite its lower complexity. Despite its modesty, it performs magnificently and appears very high quality and noble. This is one of the few in the house that is in no way inferior to a high end aoud.

In the head it reminds strongly of Amber Aoud by Roja Dove and in the back it reminds a little bit of Alexandia 3, but a comparison is only possible very vaguely and roughly, because Aoud Safran is indeed completely fixated on the most necessary. Simply made but in the Sillage very noble and elegant. Very high quality fragrance, but of course less ornate than Amber Aoud or Alexandria 3.

From my point of view the most noble Montale. His name and his inconspicuous appearance in marketing is absolutely incomprehensible.

Even if you do not like the house, you should definitely give this fragrance a chance. It's great.

Yes, actually, aoud saffron is the real oudmazing. For this price an absolute hit!

Regarding portability, it can be said that it can be used as an all-rounder in any case. It is fresh enough for warm days and opulent enough for the winter. It suits men better than women (rating m60/w40), because it projects rather woody and dark in the drydown. A fragrance that leaves a lasting impression both in a suit and in a hooded sweatshirt. A pleasing, wearable rose aoud that doesn't offend anybody and seems very soft despite its volume. Fixateur art @ its best! Synaesthetically, the fragrance smells rather red to dark red.

Together with Oudmazing, Intense So Iris and Sensual Instinct the absolute top of this brand, which is unfortunately somewhat underrated on our continent.

Genius!

Super Chypré Lead Free
A good to very good smell... but only for perfume connoisseurs or extroverted people

He starts very opulent with a rose that comes very dark and sweet. Together with honey and a light super petrol note it offers a very strong and, at the beginning, almost obtrusive fragrance experience.

After about 15-20 minutes, the oak moss and a strongly herbaceous façade emerge, somewhat reminiscent of the top note of Antaeus. After about an hour it remains more monotonous, chypre-like and herbaceous. The sweetness from the opening disappears completely and a very masculine oakmoss rose chypre scent remains. Herbs, saffron and oakmoss then form the basis of this nevertheless not too dry oriental. An Oriental that is more chypre than Oriental.

If you're looking for an extraordinary, socially acceptable fragrance that comes along in the style of the 80s, you should try it. He seems more mature than Black Aoud, but less playful than eg Oudmazing. Who is looking for something tart, rather elegant in between, completely without fruit, will find it here

For me personally one of the best from Montale .

Genius!!!
This fragrance is so unspeakably ingenious that a long essay about it already seems unnecessary to me.

Because with the best will in the world, you don't have to convince anyone of this fragrance. This scent convinces itself and breaks volumes. It is extremely strong and whips the wearer's face violently when applied. It stuns the nose and develops continuously into a dreamlike complexity that is hard to beat for this price. PM could charge a multiple of the price for this fragrance, because it is brimming with high quality. It's in a league with RDs' UAE, but despite the strong petrol note, it delivers a completely different fragrance experience. One can describe him badly, but in short he seems to me strongly balsamic, resinous with a light sharp citric head. No rose, no floral hints... Simple and touching incense, papyrus, spices and woods in petrol.

This fragrance provokes and demands everything from the wearer and his environment. Next to it, AAAP, The Night and all other Aoud sledgehammer versions look like a light EdT.

If you are looking for a fragrance with maximum extroversion and projection, you will find it here.

One of the most beautiful and strongest Aouds on the current market. Hardly anybody manages to outbid him in terms of performance.

I can't imagine it in a lady. This fragrance is bursting with virility. An absolutely round and charismatic provocateur. If you don't have one, you're missing out on something big!

Negative, sir!
Is this scent a good scent ?

Unfortunately no !

Is this fragrance an inexpensive fragrance ?

Unfortunately no !

Is this fragrance a work that seems appropriate to its creator?

Sorry, no!br />


Does this fragrance come from the most expensive house in the world ?

I'm afraid so! Br />


You can't say anything good about him for the life of me. If you take it exactly, you could accuse him of smelling like a cheap discounter or drugstore version of an attempt to imitate Guerlains Heritage.

Its course is monotonous, straightforward and from the second hour on it decays into a musty, sweet EDC variant although Roja EdP promises concentration.

It has no qualities that one could accept for this price. It's more of a heritage parody than a serious version of the Danger perfume. The perfume is super... But the PC is absolutely useless in all respects

The first Roja I must strongly advise against. Only a fanboy could gain something positive from this accident.

Nip!!!
