Mysterious Oud by Indie/Niche Haute Luxury Perfumery House Bortnikoff based in Thailand is a Extrait De Parfum Woody Amber Spicy. It was launched in 2018, and the perfumer who signs this fragrance is Dmitry Bortnikov.
The mysterious 'oud opens with a slightly fresh citrus and spicy green footprint, creating a sweet and sour feel. The delicate sweetness of a distinctive amber that is very woody is gradually beginning to warm the fragrance.
The florals for me are practically imperceptible, I only feel the slightly indole jasmine discreetly, opening the way to the multifaceted center of the fragrance with nuances: slightly animalic, with balsamic softness and smoky resinousness.
The fragrance is always wrapped in a blend of natural 'ouds oils with characteristics ranging from a woody woody Vietnamese 'oud forest green earthy through easy Thai oil fruity sweet and finishing with the iconic animalistic Indian 'oud barn woody sweet; all this masterfully mixed by master Bortnikov and seasoned by exotic spices and herbs pouring over a woody background of cedar and milky sandalwood.
This smoky balsamic resinous woody base formed mainly by a steaming myrrh and opoponax goes into suspension like a dense cloud of an authentic incandescent bakhoor, the castoreum here makes no noise. Super woody, ambery, spicy, warm and masculine perfume; I like it a lot.
About the fame of Mysterious Oud Being Really Fearsome Challenging? I didn't find it, in fact I found a version I tried a few years ago heavier.
