Bortnikoff / Lao Oud

A great agarwood with very good performance. I like it a lot, although some noses may perceive it slightly fecal at the very beginning. Agar plays first and last fiddle here. In between there are balsamic notes of sweetened cocoa and cinnamon coffee and magnolia flowers. A brilliantly blended creation and after the initial "harder for some" opening-mega comfortable to wear. In one sentence-top when it comes to ingredients, blending and longevity. For me, LOVE.

A walk...

... through Vientiane, the Laotian capital.
It is located directly on the Mekong, which forms the border between Thailand and Laos.
According to Dmitry Bortnikoff, Lao Oud is designed to transport you there and be like a walk through this exciting city, where the oud oil that forms the basis of the fragrance comes from.

The oud used here is a very strong character for Laotian oud and accompanies you from start to finish. I also notice a slight animalic note, which is by no means disturbing or off-putting. It is very well integrated and gives the fragrance something slightly edgy (really only very slightly). The oud is joined by a few floral notes of magnolia and chamomile. But in my opinion, Bortnikoff knows how to use floral notes very well and not to make them seem pompous or opulent. Instead, they underline the character of the oud and resonate very lightly. As the fragrance progresses, a dry, unsweet cocoa is added which transforms seamlessly into a coffee note. For me, this coffee note is the most authentic I have smelled so far. All these notes hardly stand out individually, but rather swing around the oud and emphasize the great character again and again and sometimes seem a little more floral, sometimes a little more "gourmand" through coffee and cocoa (even if this is by no means a Gorumand for me). All in all, this Bortnikoff is once again very natural, I don't smell any synthetics or disturbing notes.

Since I am often very fond of Laotian oud, it was hardly surprising that this fragrance enchanted me so much and now has a very special place in my collection.

To all those who are enthusiastic about oud and do not shy away from animalism:

It's worth testing!

certainly unforgettable

however you feel about this perfume, surely it made _some_ kind of impression! it really hits you in the face with the lao oud, which can be a bit barnyard-y at first sniff. on me (and probably on skin in general) it takes a huge step back pretty quickly for the other notes, which are more accessible but also still very, very unique.

the cocoa and beeswax take center stage for most of the scent journey, which is absolutely lovely! the oud gives it a nice sumptuous oomph in the background. this fragrance performs like a beast; if you spritz it onto anything, it will basically never let go until it goes into the wash or shower. great winter fragrance. just one spray is enough, honestly; which stretches out this 50mL bottle by quite a bit.

Oud Monarch with moooore oud

Dmitry's hand is well perceivable.
Lots of Oud (Indian and Laos): animalic, cheesy, but not too much for me.
All supported by classic Bortnikoff flowers, cocoa and a nice coffee powder.
It reminds me a bit to oud monarch, but with a more animalic character.
Very interesting and not too overwhelming.
For oud lovers!

Crazy

This one I was taken with when I first tried, so I purchased a sample. Later on, it made me feel nauseous. Now, I'm deciding to try it again. Upon first spray, the cacao and coffee are coming out quite a bit stronger. It is definitely lao oud, though. The name is no misnomer. I don't think I'd ever buy this. Not because I don't like it (I actually don't know if I do), but more because it's more oud than I'd ever need. It does what it says on the label, and it does it well. It's a 'take no prisoners' approach, where there's never any real sign of relenting. It's strong... very strong. The notes breakdown is a little funny, especially when you see the top notes. You might look at the article and think "Oh, it has a floral spicy opening... that's cute!", but nope. This starts with oud and ends with oud. It's not linear, per se, but it doesn't drift from the main focus very often or for very long. The voters say its unisex, and I do agree, but this is one of the first times I've found a fragrance to be slightly more masculine leaning. Bizarre, but effective. Not for the faint of heart.

So, TL;DR, it's lao oud ... with a bit of less heavy, but still not exactly "light" notes and accords thrown in. There's complexity, though, no doubt.
