Montale Aoud Greedy

More Than Words shares the sweet, amber warmth and prominent oud of Aoud Greedy, with both featuring labdanum and rose in the heart. Where Aoud Greedy opens with a striking black licorice note, More Than Words introduces a fruity top and incense base, creating a smokier, more resinous profile. The woody and fruity accords here add a different kind of depth, making it a compelling choice for those who enjoy the rich, opulent side of oriental fragrances.

Soprano mirrors the sweet, fruity opening and the rose-oud core found in Aoud Greedy, but it adds a distinct leather accord and a milky, osmanthus middle. The inclusion of litchi and freesia in the top notes gives Soprano a brighter, more effervescent start compared to the licorice-led introduction of Aoud Greedy. This fragrance leans more into a fruity floral leather territory, offering a different facet of the oriental family.

Delina Exclusif shares the sweet, fruity rose character of Aoud Greedy, with both featuring rose and fruity accords prominently. However, Delina Exclusif is a floral oriental with a lighter, more feminine touch, incorporating litchi and pear in the top notes and a vanilla amber base. It lacks the overt oud and licorice of Aoud Greedy, instead offering a creamy, woody sweetness that feels more approachable for daytime wear.

Oud Stars Malesia is built around a similar amber oud foundation as Aoud Greedy, with both relying on labdanum and musk for depth. Where Aoud Greedy uses rose and jasmine, Malesia introduces a white floral note of lily of the valley and a balsamic gurjan balsam. The result is a softer, more balsamic interpretation of the amber woody theme, with a powdery musky finish that sets it apart from the sweeter, more floral Aoud Greedy.

The Voice of the Snake echoes the spicy, woody oud profile of Aoud Greedy, with both featuring saffron and patchouli. This Gucci creation is more focused on warm spicy and woody accords, lacking the sweet fruity and floral notes of Aoud Greedy. Its straightforward oud, saffron, and musk composition creates a darker, more minimalist scent that appeals to those who prefer a less sweet, more incense like oud experience.

Sissa shares the amber, woody, and spicy character of Aoud Greedy, with both featuring saffron and rose in the heart. The difference lies in the top notes: Sissa opens with bergamot, lemon, and pink pepper, offering a citrusy sparkle compared to the licorice and patchouli of Aoud Greedy. Its base of vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli provides a creamier, more gourmand sweetness, making it a lighter yet still opulent oriental.

The Dark Side parallels the amber, warm spicy, and musky accords of Aoud Greedy, with both using honeyed incense and labdanum. This fragrance is more powdery and leathery, featuring iris and sandalwood in the heart, whereas Aoud Greedy is fruitier and more floral with rose and jasmine. The Dark Side also has a pronounced vetiver base, giving it an earthy, dry edge that contrasts with the sweetness of Aoud Greedy.

Shooting Stars La Capitale shares the sweet, amber, and fruity character of Aoud Greedy, with both featuring caramel like sweetness and warm spices. However, La Capitale is more gourmand, with top notes of caramel, peach, and strawberry, and a leathery rose heart. It lacks the overt oud of Aoud Greedy, focusing instead on a rich, fruity amber with a touch of spice, making it a sweeter, more playful alternative.

Poison shares the sweet, amber, and spicy oriental profile of Aoud Greedy, with both featuring honey, incense, and floral notes. Poison is more complex, with a wider array of white flowers and spices, including tuberose, jasmine, and cinnamon. It lacks the prominent oud and licorice of Aoud Greedy, instead offering a powdery, fruity floral sweetness with a strong sillage, making it a classic, more floral oriental choice.

Chelsea Nights mirrors the sweet, amber, and warm spicy character of Aoud Greedy, with both featuring saffron and vanilla. This Bond No. 9 creation adds a gourmand twist with cacao and hazelnut in the top notes, and a suede leather base. It lacks the floral heart of Aoud Greedy, focusing instead on a rich, edible sweetness with a woody, leathery finish, offering a more decadent, dessert like experience.

Wardasina is a rose centered oriental that shares the sweet, spicy, and woody accords of Aoud Greedy, with both featuring Bulgarian rose, saffron, and patchouli. Where Aoud Greedy opens with licorice and lemon, Wardasina begins with green notes and herbs, giving it a fresher, more vegetal start. Its tobacco and vanilla base adds a smoky, creamy sweetness, creating a more herbal, less fruity rose composition.

Carlisle shares the warm spicy, sweet, and woody character of Aoud Greedy, with both featuring saffron, vanilla, and patchouli. Carlisle is more aromatic and fruity, with top notes of green apple and mandarin, and a heart of jasmine and osmanthus. It lacks the overt oud of Aoud Greedy, instead offering a smoother, more versatile blend that works for both day and evening, with a softer, more rounded sweetness.
