Ooh wee!!

Gorgeous, enveloping blend of warm spices, creamy, custardy, banana-y ylang, richly balsamic tolu, luxurious vanilla and tonka, plush oakmoss, sensual deer musk and warm ambergris—couldn’t agree more with the review below mine, this is an ylang lover’s dream. Lots of beautiful woody, nutty and fruity nuances as well. As they say, it’s absolutely sumptuous.

Sillage strong at first and then becomes more moderate, but still with frequent glorious wafts. Longevity great. I own three Bortnikoff attars—Sayat Nova, Mysterious Oud and this—and they are all phenomenal. For $125/3g in a lovely glass vial, I consider them all spectacular deals.

Bravo, good sir!!!

Sumptuous spiced ylang

This is a ylang lovers dream. It’s a smooth creamy ylang with the rubbery, medicinal aspects of ylang edited out and replaced with spices (mostly nutmeg) and some lovely vanilla and resins. All draped over a soft bed of genuine musk. It lasts for days on skin and on clothes and bedding for weeks. I’ve never tried the extrait but I feel like it’s misnamed. It should be Ylang Khabib.
Anyhow, I love this stuff. On me, it’s a really feminine, va-va-voom kind of floral oriental. One drop and I’m enveloped in a cloud of sophisticated sexiness that leaves a beautiful trail.
I kind of wrote this as a response to Greenfairie’s review and I want to say something about attar perfumes in general, because if you’re used to alcohol based fragrances, attars can be hard to parse. Generally the notes are more compressed and streamlined. Without the alcohol to disperse the scent, it’s just going to wear differently and it’s unfair to expect otherwise. I have quite a number of attars and I do enjoy them, though I sometimes think of them as the “health food” of my perfume collection. Musk Khabib is no one’s idea of health food. It’s a rare attar that gives a full perfume experience.

Don't blind buy

I will add this to the pile of overhyped fragrances I have bought. I haven't tried anything by Bortnikoff that is all that great. This is a fairly bland musky scent, a little floral, a little sweet lemony citrus in the top notes. But the whole creation is very dull. Projection is quite soft, but it lasts a few hours on the skin. I prefer this over anything by Areej le Dore or that other atrocious attar house that makes attars that mostly smell like celery, the one with the red wax on top.
