About Montale Paris Nepal Aoud EDP
Montale is the house behind Paris Nepal Aoud EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €97. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Penhaligon's Penhaligons Trade Routes Halfeti and Montale Arabian Tonka but less than Roja Dove Roja Aoud Crystal Parfum.
Paris Nepal Aoud sillage
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. Montale Arabian Tonka spreads further.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall and winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Montale Arabian Tonka lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like leather and white musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Other Montale perfumes
The house has 59 perfumes here, led by Paris Chocolate Greedy, Intense Cafe and Paris Ristretto Intense Cafe.
Paris Nepal Aoud for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its oud side feels cosy and rich after dark.
