Peachy for a dude

I'm a woman who knows what she likes--animalic ambers. I didn't think I'd be into chypres very much, but I've loved Bortnikoff's work, so I decided to sample Chypre du Nord. Right away I detected a lovely bergamot and orange, then nutmeg and peach. The peach and orange continued into the drydown, where powdery musk and a sharp, fresh, almost menthol outdoorsiness (oakmoss?) emerged. The fruit notes were not overly sweet or synthetic feeling, and despite the peachiness, this is quite a masculine scent in my opinion. A very nice chypre but even the presumably natural elements did not sway me much towards this genre.

Citrus, peach, moss, musk heaven!

I usually stay away from chypres, and I had low expectations for this one. I think it's the combination of the usually-present floral notes along with the resins that creates an old-fashioned "grandma" scent. But here, the floral notes are eschewed in favor of a smooth and creamy peach note, which modernizes this scent immensely.

Chypre du Nord opens with a realistic citrus-peel accord, quickly joined by the aforementioned peach. It's not a juicy, tangy representation but more of a mellow feel, sort of like a peach-flavored tea. And in the base is an expertly blended musk and oakmoss without strong animalic or earthy/damp tones. Slight hint of smokiness from the birch tar, and the resinous benzoin to round it out. One of the best non-ouds from Bortnikoff.

Sexual luxury elegance

Probably one of the perfumes that I like the most from Dimitry. It has a lot of amber and musk, with a certain fruity touch and some spices.
As always in this artisan perfumer, the musk is impressive and of a sublime quality.
Even a citrus undertone completes this stunning picture.
Within the Bortnikoff range it will possibly be one of the easiest to wear.
It is elegant and distinguished, and can be really sexually attractive in the classic style.

If you like Musk Khabib, here you would find another version for all audiences and situations.
Lasting around 6 hours and good silage, people can smell it into the 2 meters range with only 2 pufs of the awesome spray it has.

Bortnikoff / Chypre du Nord

A great and masculine take (this is my association) of the chypre scent. The beginning is a hit of PEACH and orange. Here we have perfectly blended notes of oak moss with notes of cedar and resin ... green, woody and spicy. The sharpness is additionally added by the notes of MUSP (yesss) of Siberian deer, which, in my opinion, together with moss and peach emerging every now and then, constitute the main core of this perfume. Complementing this fragrance for me and making it light 'darkness' is the smell of smoke rising from the smoked birch. How I like it. YUMMY. In my opinion, perfumes are year-round, I see more men in them. It lasts up to 12 hours on my body, the projection is high at first, then moderate.
INGREDIENTS:
Top Notes: Bergamot and Orange.
Heart Notes: Peach and Nutmeg.
Base notes: oakmoss, benzoin, Siberian deer musk, cedar, birch, tar and tonca bean.

Chypre du Pêche

I was able to test Chypre du Nord in the form of a sample that I received with an order. Naturally, this led, as it should, to the purchase of a bottle.

First, I want to address the question of whether Chypre du Nord is really a chypre, especially considering the very dominant peach note. Yes, Chypre du Nord is definitely a chypre, although I wouldn't necessarily describe it as a classic chypre. For me, chypres tend to be a bit darker and also dirtier. In Chypre du Nord, notes like labdanum or galbanum, which make fragrances like Chypré Extraordinaire or Diaghilev Parfum so dark or slightly animalic, are not present. Chypre du Nord is beautifully soft and never overwhelming.

Now to the scent development of Chypre du Nord: After spraying, citrus fruits and the peach immediately come to the forefront. The darker notes only emerge after 20-30 minutes. Here, you can particularly smell nutmeg and oakmoss. I really like the oakmoss here, just as I did in "Moss Cologne | Bortnikoff." The birch tar gives the fragrance its typical chypre character. After 2-3 hours, a lovely animalic quality comes into play, which is due to the musk.

The longevity is very good for me. I can perceive the scent with three sprays for 11-12 hours without any problems. It seems to last significantly better on me than on other perfume enthusiasts. The sillage is clearly noticeable for 2-3 hours beyond an arm's length and only becomes intimate after 7-8 hours.

Now I want to briefly touch on the reason why Chypre du Nord was allowed to join my collection: I have been searching for a light chypre for a long time that truly embodies something of a vintage "Mitsouko (Extrait) | Guerlain," specifically from the 60s or 70s. Unfortunately, Shangri La (2022) could only partially achieve this, which is why I parted ways with that fragrance and purchased a bottle of Chypre du Nord. Of course, Chypre du Nord, like many very old chypres, has the disadvantage of containing real musk. Unfortunately, this note gives me that very unique character of a vintage chypre. Naturally, this is not ethically correct. I think this is also clear to every buyer, but where does one start and where does one stop? Most cosmetics are similarly borderline, especially anti-aging and wrinkle creams. In the end, everyone must decide for themselves whether they want to buy such a fragrance or not. After much consideration, I did.
