Carmine Extrait

Which Should You Buy?
Aoud Leather from Montale is a beast-mode, divisive scent. You'll either love this bold, refined leather with oud and citrus or find it too harsh and synthetic. Definitely sample before committing.
Carmine takes on Born to Stand Out's Drunk Saffron statement scent - saffron and pink pepper up top, leather and oud through the heart. The leather here reads more synthetic and less supple than the original's, and the amber-tonka base wraps up faster, losing some of the smoky longevity that made the original notable.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its beastly projection and longevity, Aoud Leather is often too much for an office setting, risking overwhelming co-workers. It excels in colder weather and evening events, making it ideal for dates and formal occasions. Its strong character also works for stylish casual wear when you want to make a statement.
Seasons
The saffron-leather-oud combination is heavy and warming, suited to cold-weather Fall/Winter wear.
Occasions
A statement scent best saved for Date nights and Formal occasions rather than daytime office wear.
