Sayat Nova Bortnikoff 2020 Extrait de Parfum

Vanilla, rum, apricot and Oud. Round opening, perfectly balanced of apricot and rum, full of smoky hints and a vague reference to the barrique ... the nose projects a distinct image in my mind: the velvety texture of the pulp of a ripe apricot soaked in a glass of Zacapa centenary. In the heart of the fragrance the rum-vanilla tandem continues which takes on ever more "oudy" nuances, up to the drydown where only the oud remains, supported by oak moss and the same hint of barricade/wood that persisted throughout the life of this stupendous creation
