Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aoud Lime EDP

This notorious Montale is not for the faint-hearted. It's a polarizing, beast-mode oud-rose with a misleading name, but if you can handle its intensity, you'll be noticed. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it reaction from those around you.

Acquired

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.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

Given its 'atomic bomb' projection and insane longevity, Aoud Lime is far too powerful for an office setting where it would likely annoy colleagues. It suits formal events or dates where making a strong, memorable impression is key, but apply with extreme caution; a single spray is often too much. Its heavy, oriental character makes it unsuitable for casual or sport wear.

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.
