This is a very enjoyable fragrance. I like the way it starts out with a fresh scent almost like a fresh rainy spring day and dries down to a powdery sandalwood smell. If I could afford this brand I would probably wear Santal Wood more often.

I love the smell of sandalwood. A fragrance that has thrived the ages. I ordered this without checking if it was for men or women. Upon initial contact I thought “this is musky, but the sandalwood is delightful.” Eventually the musk lightens and all you’re left with is this long-lasting soft sandalwood aroma. No one noticed it was a “male” scent. It should be listed under the androgynous aromas because it simply sits on my very feminine skin beautifully. 10/10 would wear anywhere & purchase the full bottle for myself or my husband.

To me this scent is well-balanced. Most of the Montale fragrances I've tried are too floral, but Santal Wood has a nice fresh and woody aroma. The longevity is amazing (almost last too long)! Only need one tiny spritz on the back of my neck and I smell it all day and all night. I've even woken up the next morning with hints of it still lingering. This isn't may everyday cologne, it's more for special occasions or times when I need a long lasting fragrance. I sometimes wear this around the office at work, but usually go for something a little more low-key. While this scent may not be for everyone, I truly enjoy it! (I'm also curious to try "Sand Flowers" by Montale if Scentbird ever starts carrying it.)

Best smell yet

Smells great very warm and sexy

Good smell really enjoyed this sample.

I received so many compliments

I liked this one but Im not sure other people around me did.

Shit smells manly af bitches were goin 🅱️razy for this one

I really want a dark chocolate based scent, but the various people I told about this scent felt like the potency was pretty solid.

this is an amazing scent. I love it.

This scent just didn't do it for me. I can smell the description and think it has potential, but this is not a fresh woody smell. This is more for a clean cut, fresh look, going out to the club type of guy. I think women would gravitate toward a man wearing this fragrance.

I would have preferred a more woodsy energetic scent. Something along the lines of forest greens and a touch of citrus. A woodsman type with that touch of clean for just the right moment.

It was a pleasant surprise. I would recommend it

This fragrance is definitely on point! 2 bursts of liquid confidence is all you need with this one! Will recommend to friends and family!

Got this one for the other half. Smells great, long-lasting. Classic, but not too mature or too young. Woody and complex.

this is not my normal smell profile. I love sandalwood scents but this is more robust and classic than i normally go for. With that being said , short of a couple of creed scents and my all time fave legend from montblanc i have never received so many compliments on a particular scent. ( even with folks wearing masks everywhere currently.) ive truly grown to enjoy this . Its also one of the most complex scents ive tried with a new note coming on every smell.

this is a perfect simple fragrance. Blends with anything at any time.

I honestly didn't think I was going to like this as much as I do not as good as the Kenneth Cole but still refreshing. possibly my new favorite. Not overpowering and clean scent

Smells like a old man. More in the pepper side

Just what I wanted. I’ve received plenty of compliments. Didn’t expect it but, I like it.

Love it

I was referred to this site by my brother. I chose the Cologne put them in que and the first one came exactly as specified a day later understandable, the smell is great everything is awesome but one thing was off, the Cologne was spilled inside the case almost quarter was gone too bad. Other than that I like it so far. Thanks

Very smooth

Exactly what I was looking to find. Great fragrance with an individual spin on sandalwood.Unisex appropriate unlike some others. Very happy!

Was asked right away what I was wesring. Lots of compliments great for fall.

Nice and clean everyday scent

Love it

Could last a bit longer but oh my Lord do I adore this scent.

Just as it claims. Long lasting

Smells good and lasts long

The strong scent of Sandalwood is a bit much for me, and my wife said that it wasnt somthing that she liked on me.

Smells wonderful wished it lasted longer though

It’s ok....

Exactly like what I was looking for in a sandal wood fragrance. Husband & sons all complimented it.

The House of Montale has truly captivated me 9 years ago. Majority of the fragrances are unisex. It all depends on your scent preference. I admire and respect this house. It smells like you just came back from war and you not only was victorious. But, you were crowned king. Men's Fragrance indeed. Live wild in fiery passion with your mate. She will hold your Excalibur forever

Not too overpowering

I thought I would have liked this scent because of the notes described but it was very chemically and way too strong.

Snells good

Good product

Plain and simple, I just really like this one

love this scent!

Initially It was a little spiced but mellowed out nicely into a musk

This smelled like a beautifully enhanced sandalwood, which was what I expected. I really like it

It was a gift

The notes I expected were woodsy but instead it smells exactly like I don’t like. It gave me an instant headache.

Aliyah Moore

And I smell but doesn’t last long enough

Received compliments from peers and family members asking where I bought it from.

I really enjoyed this new scent. I like the woodsy scent of it .

Great fragrance. Not too strong, but I would like it last longer. With that said, this is the fragrance I wear when relaxing at home, and even to bed

Most scents fall into the spice, musk, sweet, or clean/crisp. This scent has a unique combination and distinct bite that sets it apart from the norm. One of my recent favorites, I liked it so much I bought a full sized bottle!

Doesn’t last very long

It was too strong, it smelled similar to a mix between Tabu and hairspray. The undertones gave me a headache almost immediately. Neither my mom or my husband liked it either, too strong. Both the Sandalwood portion and th grapefruit portion smelled more like chemicals.

N/a

loved the smell

my man loves this

Smells the way SantalWood should smell. Like Santal Wood ! Doesn’t last very long though.

Great choice

i am a female and i absolutely love this!!!

It is oily and not lasting

Really nice smooth fragrance

oh this baby got it ALL RIGHT! very nice the ladies LOVE IT!

So..its not a nose catcher. Not overpowering at all, very light in fact but it does smell great. Very warm scent. Maybe good for a romantic setting.

This easily a signature cologne it’s fresh wood citrus masculine cologne{no sweet}. Let me tell you, this is not a fragrance for compliments but each person that approaches you is going to have a really good impresión about you! Awesome for interviews 3 sprays both sites of neck and back neck, work office 5 sprays, casual use 6 sprays 20 min before you arrive to any place (indoors) outdoors don’t worry if you have 25 years and up you need in you’re 5 rotation signature cologne.

I liked the sandalwood, but it wore off very quickly.

The scent was just ok. My wife likes it but the smell doesn't last long enough.

The notes in this were kind of weak. I prefer a stronger sandalwood note. My wife agrees!

Rugged yet sophisticated

Definitely one to try!

Really didnt enjoy this scent. I have carpet powder that has almost the same scent. I have offered this bottle to 2 friends and they declined. This is the 1st scent I have received that I have not liked.

Great scent! Very pleasant!

This fragrance is just so AMAZING!!!!

Smells like soapy, and light indian market, not overpowering just right.. My husband , my daughter and I loved it..

Nice

This smells good but more of a fall scent for me.

This fragrance is cool enough for the sunny days of spring and summer yet warm enough to make sure the ladies turn their heads. Not to mention this lasts all day. I went to work came home - cut the grass and I can smell it.

Got this for my fiancé to try and ended up loving it on myself! It has an unexpected cleanliness to it that works well with my chemistry.

Smells great

The best Sandalwood fragrance out there

I love a fragrance that lingers.

I like it.

Smells amazing

Not a fan

I like this fragrance but it’s a little too sweet. Has a really nice fresh out the shower smell but it was just a little to feminine for me.

Not a good smell to me

Smells more looked a womans fragrance.

Excellent

didn't quite have the smell that expected, considering the ingredients, but I enjoyed it. I feel like it's one of those scents that'll grow on you.

Got the most compliments on wasn’t expecting that either.

Don’t smell good

Santal wood it's amazing, very masculine. Could use this every time of the year very Woody, very masculine. Montale is very well known by been very strong perfume but in this case I would say that the projection it's about 4' to 6' for the first 30 min, after that it became a very personal fragrance.

Sandalwood

Loved this scent. Nice and earthy.

I wanted to try this one and I LIKE it!

Not my taste but I don’t hate it at all.

At first I didn't like the smell but that was because I over did it. Two sprays is too much. The second time I wore it I only sprayed one n it was a little n the dry down it smelled much better. Has a woodsy/vanilla smells too me. Like you took Burberry/ Curve together. I liked it.

Too strong of a smell

Smells like Old Spices.

Too woody for my style

I love masculine scents, which this definitely is, but just not something I would ever purchase. I didn't find that it had any staying power either. It's nota bad scent, just not something I care for.

Love this scent.... I just wish it lasted longer. Get maybe 4 solid hours before it is pretty much gone

Beautiful woody, light, and aromatic fragrance. I get lots of compliments on this cologne. While it may not seem amazing right away, let the scent age on your clothes/skin and it just gets better! Ends up making my closet and clothes smell pretty incredible after a few uses. Highly recommend this one!

I like this fragrance but wore it to work got 3 negative reactions so I’m kinda bummed 🙁 about that experience

You'll get tons of compliments

My new favorite! Woodsy and resinous with staying power

Wound up mixing the last of this with my Aveda Pure-formance and the result has received excellent reviews.

scent was not pleasing

I really enjoy this one.

Very woody scent. I recieved a lot of compliments, but only when ear to ear. It doesn't linger when sittimg next to someone. Also lacks a certain sweetness that makes a person infatuated wit your scent. All in all 3 out of 5 one my book

ok

Love all this notes on opening and dry down

Gave me a warm sensation...like bon fire or fireplace. Very earthy. Smells great on me as it does my husband.

Smells old

Its a deep scent at first, and gets deeper as the day rolls on. But it's oddly unique and you find yourself desiring the scent. It's not terribly overpowering, surprisingly light actually. Definitely a unisex scent though so I cant say it's for everyone. But if you're open to experimenting, this one might surprise you

Made me feel like I was having an allergic reaction

It takes a moment for all the notes to come out, but smells great once that happens! Longevity is decent – I can still catch subtle whiffs of it 4 to 5 hours into a normal office day. I do wish it had more pronounced sandalwood notes, though. (I'd give it 4.5 stars if that was possible... but I feel 4 is too low, so it gets a 5 from me.)

Got alot of compliments of this one. Projects well off my skin and last for about 7 good hours

Too floral for my liking

Pretty good. It has a woodsy smell, but it doesn't last very long. It's not something I would wear daily, but possibly monthly. I wouldn't buy a bigger bottle. If you're looking for a sandalwood smell, this isn't it.

Outstanding scent and lasted. One of my favs so far.

I didnt know what to expect with this one but I've received 7 colognes so far and this one has one of the best smells in my opinion. The scent is unique and it does last a long time. I will probably buy a bigger bottle of this one once my sample runs out. Try this one out. A date night cologne in my opinion with a clean woodsy scent. I'll be trying out Montales other scents now.

Not what I had imagined it would smell like but it smells great! It seems like it changes a bit as I smell it and I get different whiffs of the different awesome smells.

Long lasting, but not over powering. Compliments received every time I wear it. My go to for the office, casual days and nights out.

Nice all day scent. Would wear this for any occasion.

I love this scent! This has been one of my favorites. The scent starts off fresh, and then it turns woodsy after a few hours. It has been great for this time of year to bridge between summer and winter scents.

I am excited about wearing this during the fall and winter.

subtle yet complicated scent

Fresh scent that is complimented with creamy sandalwood and very cozy cardamom. Best for office use or cooler weather. Great fragrance

I wasn’t too sure about this one and got it more for the scents noted for it. I actually ended up liking it more than I was expecting. It’s definitely on the stronger side and so one spritz will take you a long way. And like others have mentioned, it’s a leans a little bit on the sweet scent side of thing. So don’t expect a rugged manly man kind of smell. Overall though, I like it and may have to pick me up a full bottle in the future.

very good scent my wife loves it

Quite potent when you first put it on, but simmers down nicely. Definitely not a warm weather fragrance!

A very nice masculine Woody fragrance.

This one was surprisingly fresh and clean, but still held true to its woodsy notes without coming off as old school or mature. I was hoping for better projection, but it’s just enough. I’d recommend this for the office or an intimate setting with that special someone. Signature scent for someone in their 20’s to 30’s for all seasons.

I loved this scent. It was light, without being too light. I am buying a full sized bottle today.
