Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Green Wood EDP
Green Wood targets Montale's Aoud Lime - the powerful oud-and-rose woody-spicy with its saffron lift and sweet sandalwood drydown. The dupe captures the oud-rose signature but renders it far tamer and flatter, with the bombastic opening sillage and resinous depth dialled right down to a skin-close shadow of the intense original.
Statement
Our Verdict - Ultimate Oil
Ultimate delivers a potent, long-lasting oud fragrance that exudes confidence and luxury, perfect for those seeking a commanding presence.

Season and Occasion Fit

Green Wood

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The oud, rose and sandalwood are richest in cool autumn and winter air where the warm, resinous character feels enveloping.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

A bold oud-rose woody suited to evenings and formal occasions rather than daytime or sport.

Ultimate

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The rich and robust oud and woody notes make this fragrance particularly well-suited for the cooler weather of fall and winter, but it remains versatile enough for spring wear due to some fresh elements.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its strong and luxurious sillage is well-suited for evenings, special occasions, and dates, but it may be overpowering for offices or sports. Casual wear is possible, although it leans towards the formal.
