Oud Maximus already opens super natural wrapped in a sweet orange chord sweet to blow freshness in its cracks and another slightly spicy fresh chord. This all wrapped in a resinous dark animalic 'oud. Soon there is a bouquet of breathtaking organic roses with several facets: with time flashes of crystal clear fresh roses, timely velvety roses, with some moments of darker bittersweight resin, in other fruity fleshy roses; This really impresses rose lovers and especially the enthusiasts in the Duet 'Oud & Roses. And there is still very smelling Frangipani sweetness of enhancing the jasmine fragrance.
From there these roses are beginning to be permeated by an infusion of natural or excellent quality or multifaceted or deeds: here we have' Indian smoky animalic or Thai or Fruit of Tract region and the Purple Koh Chang Fruit Fruit and Woody Green , adds one more fresh green footprint of Sri Lanka oil. And all dosed and mixed with mastery by Dmitry Bortnikov. There is no corral/stable nuance; here it is not about fecal characteristics, but animals. A very discreet balsamic vanilla/tonka/ chord, tolu softens any possibility of some fetid nuance.
We also have great assistants in building this fragrance such as natural musk that remains light years away from synthetic musk used today in almost 100% of perfumes. Natural lunch with the civet add a very male animal dirt, but this chord was made with an intriguing, unpleasant or extremely challenging lightness. In its fullness, the 'grand finale' comes in a birch oil with its incense/smoky footprint [which I like a lot] closing the fragrance with a golden key with that famous steaming bakhoor aspect.
Do not get carried away by the name: Maximus was a tribute that Dmitry Bortnikov made her son Maxim that following her father's footsteps recently launched her own indie perfume perfumes brand. Oud Maximus is not on a high level of challenge/difficulty for those who are already used to this perfume category, I would say it is an excellent choice for those who want to start venturing into the Universe of Artisanal Independent Perfumery (Indie).
Here you will find an 8K sensory experience of resolution/definition of extremely natural notes and chords. Oud Maximus is not bombastic, but makes noise, no doubt you will be noticed.
