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.
