Starts great, but then becomes very oud and musky

When I first applied the Oud Cologne, I was totally on fire and very enthusiastic. Unfortunately, this first impression could not be maintained as the fragrance progressed - what a shame! The longevity on my skin is really strong at more than 12 hours and the sillage is also impressive.

The top note starts fresh, citrusy, fruity but also creamy with aromas of bergamot, orange, lemon zest, grapefruit and some ginger, nutmeg, allspice and pepper. This makes me think of Solero ice cream for a while. The heart note then goes in a very woody-resinous direction. I recognize pine needles, cedarwood and guaiac wood. Then it smells a little floral like rose water, gardenia and rose geranium. The base then shifts into a very animalic direction. Deer musk and oud dominate here. It also has a balsamic scent of benzoin and ambergris.

In the end, Oud Cologne took me in a direction that is not necessarily my world - simply typical of Artisan fragrances. Nevertheless, I would like to thank Nick for the bottling.

Great opening, classic heart, oud unfortunately not present

Beautiful, very oily and elegant bitter orange, numerous oranges and grapefruit peels slowly squeezed out with a mortar until all the essential oils have come out, an airy, slightly green cloud pervades the beautiful bitter citrus notes, juniper berry with a little juniper on the stem, very slightly woody, beautifully invigorating and stimulating. Pink pepper only as a small pinch on top for a little pep, does the rest good. A very well-balanced opening that is quite special in its composition, given that the notes listed are quite classic in themselves.

It takes an interesting, slightly unexpected direction; after 15 minutes, the rose and the increasingly green notes take us into territory that seems a little old-fashioned at first glance, with a hint of soapiness in between
After more than an hour, we move into the base, the rose remains delicate, is now cozily framed by warm resins, but thanks to the very fresh tonka, the fragrance retains something light and invigorating, but the oud is more likely to be sought with a magnifying glass.

Overall, a rather weaker Bortnikoff release for me. It's a nicely balanced fragrance with a great opening, but it takes too classic a turn for me and the base is also rather smooth and generally has little of the oud that appears in the name. I have seen more interesting fresh oud interpretations.
