I LOVE LOVE this perfume. So different and amazing. Just ordered a big bottle. I'm not the one to fill my wardrobe with things like Miss Dior or Coco Mademoiselle. And I want to smell like an arabian Barbie, lol!

[@ouch110]

:) It's a cool one for sure!!

[@0TashieLeigh0]

Oh dear you must try Mancera Velvet Vanilla!!! I just got my bottle and it is insane. I don't care for Montale and Mancera and this is the first from either line I not only enjoy but I'm speechless over. It is the most gorgeous, velvety tuberose I've ever smelled. It's got angelica as well as vanilla and other yummy notes. I just can't believe it. You live in the UK so you should have an easier time tracking it down than I did. If you like tuberose you have got to try this stuff!!!! :)

[@KeLLStaRoxx]

Hahahaha! You HIT the nail on the head with the Arabian Barbie. That's totally Mukhallat. I love it too. It's a beautiful smooth fragrance that lasts a long time, reminds you it's there by drifting up to your nose (rather than just disappearing like a lot of them do), makes me feel happy & gets heaps of compliments - so others love it too. What else could you want in a fragrance? Great review :-)

[@ouch110]

Hehe, yay! I really do feel like that! It's got a doll like thing going on which I find interesting and different, I really want to get this! :)

[@toniapedd]

@@ouch110 I'm SO intrigued!! BUT, Plastic???!!! How MUCH plastic??!! LOL I want to try this but... Plastic, Again, I know... Everything but that one mention sounds amazing to me! PLEASE answer!! I'm trying to choose a Christmas gift fragrance!!!! Running out of time!! *Gift offered to me by a loved one!!! They want an answer! LOL

[@erin8205]

I'm getting this! Red juice! And I've been obsessing over the Fragrantica reviews for weeks! I want to smell like a Strawberry Shortcake Doll. 🍓

[@viviangonzalez2520]

Lol So I’m sure u got it by now... what did u think ??? To me it’s so plasticky lol 😂

[@toniapedd]

@@viviangonzalez2520 UGH! I WANNA KNOW TOO!!!!!!

[@toniapedd]

Well, Strawberry Shortcake or Plastic??!!! I WANT to KNOW!!!!

[@yeezy7751]

@@toniapedd i own this. plasticky vanilla, verrry heavy and very dense. there is a fake strawberry note. it lasts forever. not my favorite, i have to layer it with light, fruity scents to actually enjoy it. but VERY noticeable

[@toniapedd]

@@yeezy7751 I own it too! I actually adore it! I don't find it as strange as most think! I find it very wearable and yummy😋Thanks for your reply though! I wish you loved it like I do!

[@julialaidler1310]

I love this one too, Tom, it's so much fun to wear! I want it too! I am getting together a list of Montale fragrances, which I'd order in 20ml bottles as a set: I think 20ml of such potent stuff is a good volume.

[@ouch110]

IT'S FUN FUN FUN! I think I will buy it when I visit Paris in May. :)

[@patriciatschritter2591]

Strawberry you say??? I'm in!! Added to sample list. Thanks! 💚

[@viviangonzalez2520]

Lol so did u like it ??!

[@brandybasisty9736]

I love Mukhallat! It smells like strawberry incense to me and dries down to strawberry milk powder ❤

[@swtdreamsx3]

“An Arabian Barbie” I love that 😂😊💕

[@ouch110]

Hehe yep! :)

@@ouch110 please do he best of montale

[@brittanycucci3790]

Your reviews have not failed me yet lol- just got a steal on a tester of this fragrance 😊😊!

[@ouch110]

Yay! Glad t you like it!

[@ouch110]

Aww thanks! Do you like it?

[@LexEllis]

Thanks for covering this gem Ouch! I agree with you 200% with Montale, so much aoooouuud!!! but yeah some serious gems!

[@ouch110]

Welcome dude!

[@Tyugrchf]

i love montale so much my favorites are vanilla cake and chocolate greedy :) i will get mukhallat too

[@michellenoejam]

loooove mukhallat, chocolate greedy and vanilla cake.

[@BeautyMeow]

This sounds really really nice! I have a love hate relationship with Montale! Either they are the best, or they don't wow me. Also have you tried Cape Heartache from Imaginary Authors? I love the Strawberry in that!

[@ouch110]

I have tried it yes! I love imaginary authors. I reviewed it too. :)

[@ladykryss8311]

Ive been looking at this for a bit and I am so of the fence because of the price point. The Barbie head reference got me... love it. I actually described a perfume the other day as smelling like fruit punch kool-aid from the old foil lined carboard tins that had gotten a bit of moisture in it and was hard to scoop. Everyone one I was talking with was like that weirdly descriptive and a serious throw back to our childhoods, which is exactly what the thought of Barbie dolls do for me.

[@tonkacat]

I reviewed this last week and I think.it is becoming one of my favorites

[@ouch110]

Great to hear!

[@Monika-tu8rp]

I have same vibe with this one ! Barbie doll I had Ken once And he has gel to Hair if he could he would wear it !! 🤣 Interesting fragrances .

[@ouch110]

Haha

[@mohdj2820]

I love Mukhallat. My favorite Montale so far. The strawberry is really pleasant in it. I also had Dark Purple which I liked. I remember testing Full Incense as well, smelled like a Mosque to me. Have you tried them?

[@ouch110]

I haven't tried the others but PURPLE is my favorite colour! Also..I love incense fragrances so I will definitely hunt them down. Thanks for the tip.

[@hollybronwyn8176]

Oh, I love Sweet Oriental Dream. (AKA, KM Loukhoum's big sister ;) There are a few I love but oud is not my note, either, so I agree. I want to try Dark Purple & love it because I want that bottle! Also, Full Incense. Am fairly sure i'd like them both. Tried Aoud Orange years ago, umm, it didn't work. Many people do not, but I love their bottles! Not only the colors but aluminum, which may not appear glamorous, but keeps the juice fresh over many years. Have tried a few from their Mancera Line, lately and seem to get on with them a bit better. Mancera Lemon Line is gorgeous!

[@ouch110]

I really like their bottles too! I just get overwhelmed with amount of fragrances they have. This one is one of the only ones I will buy, but I plan to try lots more when I go to Paris in May. :)

[@razscott]

Good stuff mate! I like this one, if i see it reduced on notino id probably get it, the latest montale i got was aoud leather which is like tuscan leather and la yuqawam, I already have yuqawam so it will probably be a bit redundant, it's nice juice anyway. Still so many from the house i need to try, there's just too many.

[@ouch110]

Toooooo many. I have given up!!

[@merinoteflon1128]

I tried a few Montales, the legends, like, Intense Cafe...didn't like them...but, recently got hold of Sandflowers, which smells like a beach that's had some good times, some bad times, feeling melancholic, yet wrily amused, maybe writing a bad poem, later, it'll probably drink wine. Which is gilding the lily a tad, but anyway, I like it, not sure if it'd be everyone's cuppa though.

[@ouch110]

Haha that sounds fun!!

[@svetlanah7671]

I wanted to love this perfume, on my skin it's very soapy. Cheap strawberry soap 😔😔

[@ouch110]

Yep, I think it's kinda plasticy but in a fun way.

[@mysteriousbella6878]

Love it. Thank you for the fun review :)

[@ouch110]

Any time!

[@elenak1333]

Love it. Obnoxious, playful, fun, and yes, the dry down is very sexy. For those careless days of eating ice cream with friends and going out for lunch with girls.

[@SwirlVanilla]

Love Montale 😍 Vanilla ecstasy it's my prefer 😍 kiss and like

[@Sarasapien]

Hmm 🤔 sounds very tempting 🍓

[@ouch110]

:)

[@viviangonzalez2520]

Thought that too... got it and it’s soo weird... lol 😂

[@ramirocosta1]

great review brah! liked

[@ouch110]

Haha thanks Brah!

[@justinmercado3517]

I really want to purchase this fragrance by everyone referring to it as a plastic strawberry smell is really scaring me!!!! What does everyone mean by plastic smelling?!

[@ouch110]

Kinda like sweet doll heads to me. Not like awful plastic, but like a smooth sweet waxy kinda smell! Hope that helps!

[@thesimplepeachify]

Have you reviewed Sun di Gioia by Giorgio Armani? I cant find it if you have...please do if you haven't😍😍

[@ouch110]

I haven't I'm afraid. I haven't reviewed the original either. In fact...I'm not sure I have reviewed an Armani fragrance at ALL!! How weird is that? haha. I would need to own a sample which I don't have at the moment. :( Boooooo

[@WinnieThaPoo92]

you probably already saw this on fragrantica, but makkah by al haramain REALLY smells like this one - and it's cheaper ;)

[@WinnieThaPoo92]

so glad!!! i might get some too ;)

[@toniapedd]

Wait, WHAT?! Does it have good sillage??!! Does the 'plastic' smell overpower??

[@WinnieThaPoo92]

@@toniapedd it's been a long time since i've smelled, so i'm not sure unfortunately about sillage - it does smell a little like strawberry dry erase marker, but also like realistic strawberry - not too synthetic. sorry i can't help more!

[@toniapedd]

@@WinnieThaPoo92 LOL Dry erase marker? !!This one is intriguing in the oddest possible way!! At least this tells me it's not one you have in your collection! Or maybe you have it but never reach for it!! Thanks for your reply though!!! Much appreciated!!

[@WinnieThaPoo92]

@@toniapedd I don't own it, but I don't actually own a lot of things I like/love - for some odd reason XD! So I would say it's still a great fragrance, and worth trying, if you are interested :)

[@suuslovesherdoggies]

Love it! Want to bath in it! My boyfriend loves it also ❤️

[@ouch110]

It’s deffo one of the nicer Montales and a break from their 1000 oud perfumes.

[@ouch110]

👍

[@Mia-es1rp]

@@ouch110 yes I just couldn't take alot of the montales I tried and I know it's because the oud facet in alot of them...but this one I been wanting to try for a while and I trust your tastes alot!

love this one👌 your gonna love tropical wood sample that one thank me later 😎

Thanks for the tip!

[@kathyleners600]

Ooooo..I WANT it tooooo !!

[@ouch110]

Me toooo!

[@robamick126]

I couldn't get on with this one, I just found it a bit sour on me, its a bonkers scent lol.

[@ouch110]

I love it, I think the oud ones are the bonkers ones. Too many and too similar. :(

[@fadstar14]

its pronounced "Moo-KHallat" pronounce the kh as if you're regurgitating spit lmao

[@ouch110]

OHHH haha thanks! :)

[@hollygolightly6770]

Arabian Barbie 👌👌💕

[@ouch110]

Yes!

[@timwilliams4306]

You had me totally into this until the "smooth plasticy doll head."...at which point it became an instant "no way." Thanks for the vid. :)

[@ouch110]

Hehe yep, it certainly is like that. If you're looking for a juicy natural strawberry, this ain't it my friend. I like those novelty kinda smells though. I'm weird.

[@timwilliams4306]

I was almost kinda relieved, because so many of your reviews end up going on my wish list, which at this point, will soon render me homeless and in a 12 step program. If you ever do come across any authentic strawberry scents, I'm all ears. Thanks for your efforts, wonderful videos.

[@ouch110]

Oh gosh...I'm very flattered that you have that much faith in me. Strawberry? It's really hard to find a real natural one because you can't distill it. The closest I have found (and sorry for mentioning a unicorn) is Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs "Strawberry Moon" It's got daisy in it and grass and it feels a bit more real. :)

[@m.s.biteth1164]

I am a man. I do not wish to smell like strawberry shortcake. Wasn't that a girl's show in America in the 1980s? No. Thank. You.

[@ouch110]

Then stay away from this fragrance at all costs :)

[@JohmathanBSwift]

One's better than none. I'll have to sample this one. Did you get the chance to sample Montale's Fruit of the Musc? It doesn't wash off ,sooooooo, XD. Thanks Tom.

[@ouch110]

Hello! Yes I did, I tried out so many but just couldn't get along with any of them. It's the overall feeling of most of them, like chemical oud and weirdness. The only other one I might be interested in is Intense Tiare.

YIKES! This review is so long ago I doubt you'll see my comment :( BUT.. IF you do, since your reviews on Narcisso Rodriguez EDP (pure white one) and THIS review were so identical in that they are both very different, interesting frags, which one would you recommend blind buying?? UGH I want your opinion sooooo bad! I may have to stalk you! LOL JK!!! Before I go to YT jail!! Just joking ppl!!!

[@ouch110]

I see allllll the comments! Both fragrances are very different, one is a gourmand, and the other is a clean musk. This one is heavier and ultra sweet and playful, and the NR one is a very casual fragrance that I would layer with other things. They are kinda opposite! I guess it depends on which one takes your mood?

[@toniapedd]

@@ouch110 So both, since my mood changes faster than the hands on a clock??!! LOL I'm def more a gourmand girl, though!! Thanks for the reply! Love your reviews & value your opinions!!! xoxo Happy Holidays!!!

[@taka1taka]

is it only me that hates montale bottles? that oddly shape grenade >_< or something like an overpriced liquor in a supermaket just because of the metallic bottle...

[@ouch110]

I kinda like em, I've never owned one, but apparently the metal container really keeps the fragrance fresh! :)

[@viviangonzalez2520]

Smells like Strawberry Armorall to clean your Car.... or Like a Strawberry Tire Shine ... people will look at you and say “ what the fk ?!?

[@ouch110]

Haha and some will say...YUM!

[@diamondprinceza]

arabian barbie 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ouch110]

Yep!
