What do reviewers say about Royal Aoud and Porpora?
Montale doesn't do tentative. Royal Aoud opens loud and stays louder, the kind of fragrance that announces a decision, not asks permission. The oud is synthetic but substantial, medicinal and woody.Royal Aoud
Two hours in, you're still catching it. The rose has deepened into something almost resinous, the Bulgarian absolute holding its shape while everything around it softens.Porpora
