Niche hipsteroud, Thailand has become mainstream.

- Dimitry you old sly dog, what are you doing to me ? -
This is about niche for the tender, oud in gentle.

Spray once and I'll sell my belongings.
Self-discovery trip #simpleliving. Is what you do without a compass or map.
I'm drawn to Thailand.
Germany ? I have to get away, away.
Once more jet-lag, from now on only backpack.

First airport, then tuk-tuk, then gas station.

Flowers soaked in gasoline?
First hut made of wood, in it there was a lot of medicine,
Man the gal from down-under, smells like no other.
In a shirt full of sweat, then danced in the sand,
Ecstasy ! Our nights are long,
Folk drugs, hugs, singing
Campfire songs, I make new bonds.

Been here for a while now.
Money's getting tight, the sun's burning.
That girl from back in the day?
She was almost too cute to be true and my skin is now brown as cocoa,
Always wanted the opposite, but now have wife......and n kid.
Got up close and personal with me, with her, with the world. Ask yourself who we are.

Started smoking now for stress, tobacco with vanilla.
Work at the spice shop to pay the rent and upkeep,
my new boss is called DImitry, a filthy rich Russian.
Cinnamon and cocoa are my daily bread.
Is far away so much better than home?
Slave labor in paradise, chains are everywhere.
Now seriously social criticism ?

The wife is gone. My son is screaming.
My hut smells a bit like wild animal by now.
The bag of cocoa is just son moderately good pillow.

I sleep little, was it all really worth it ?

Nice oud perfume

Oud monarch is a very good oud perfume by bortnikoff. It has some sweetness which comed from the cocos, the vanilla and the frangipani, mixed with the animalic and almost fecal vibe which comes from the oud and the civet. This perfume share some charecter with the other bortnikoff perfumes and goes un the same line than other perfumes like Dhanal oíd ruwah by rasasi.

The performance is good but is not a beast. It lasts on my skin about 6-7 hours, less that i expected for a fragance with this intensity, this quality, this price and based on the oud. And the sillage is very moderated.

It is unisex although i think probably a bit more masculine because It is a bit strong, but i think oerfectly weareable for a woman. Better for night use and cold weather.

The different oud perfume

This perfume is quite unique and in a good way.
It opens very floral with magnolia, frangipani and jasmine. Jasmine is not listed, so I may have been fooled by the magnolia and frangipani combination.
I can perceive the rose notes almost along with the opening persistent florals. Undoubtedly there is cinnamon (spicy but not at all sweet) and some tobacco hints in the heart.
The oriental twist is perceived almost from the start as well. Both oud types listed are not the barnyard type and there is a bit of a smooth medicinal oud touch in the air. They blend very well with the persistant florals. You just get a non floral oud in the drydown. There is an animalic accord present that I tie more with castoreum as the typical civet pee smell is tottaly absent to my nose.
The dry down for me is all about a smooth oud background, an animalic accord, the (not really sweet) vanilla, cocoa pod, and hints of tobacco and cinnamon. The traditionally sweet notes have a strong spicy behaviour but are not really of the gourmand type.
This fragrance is somewhat complex for a spicy-woody oriental perfume, but I also classify it as an oudy-oriental for oud beginers as the usually strong oud and animalic notes are really tammed from start to finish.
The global performance is high, with an above average longevity, and an average sillage and projection for the existent notes.

How do i rate this unique oriental?
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Scent Opening:.........8,5 (very good)
Scent Drydown:........9.0 (fantastic but smooth)
Longevity:..................8.5 (close to 9 hours in my skin, with 3 sprays)
Sillage:........................7.5 (6 feet sillage with 2.0 hours projection)
Uniqueness:..............9.5 (quite unique, although evoquing some other oriental scents)
Wearability:...............8.0 (Winter and Fall night & day, and why not on Spring days)
Versatility:.................8.0 (go easy on the trigger and you will be surprised by its versatility)
Compliments:...........8.0 (more a self pleaser than an attention grabber but catching the attention of all oriental fragrance lovers)
Quality:......................9.0 (above average quality ingredients and a high concentration of 25%~30%)
Presentation:............8.0 (in line with all other Bortnikoff flasks)
Price:..........................5.0 ($90.00 or $350.00 for the Extrait de Parfum (25 – 30%) in 9ml or 50ml contenances.
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Overall rating: 8,09/10.0
between 7 and 8 =above average;
between 8 and 9 = recommended;
bigger than 9 = don't miss it;
Opinion: An oriental gem and an unique scent. I like it very much.
Recommended? Only if you feel like paying the niche Bortnikoff price. Other niche and not niche Oud Perfumes satisfy me as much as this one, and they sell for 1/5 of the price or less.
Blind buy worthy? No! Do try it before you buy it.

Music: Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott - "A Whole New World"
I thank my pal Armando Raposo (Arjotera PARFUMO profile) for sending me an Oud Monarch decant to enable this perfume review.

Sensual Monarch

In order to understand this scent correctly, you have to discover the DNA of the used oudhs for yourself. Dmitry uses two varieties here. For one thing: Eagle wood from Merauke, Indonesia. This is free of any "animalistic" tones or Barnyard tendencies. It is almost floral, soft and slightly balsamic woody.

The second Oudh is something very special. It comes from the "Feel-Oud"-forge of Dmitry (and Russian Adams) and is called "Pink Oudh". Behind it lies natural oudh from Koh Chang, one of the largest islands in the Gulf of Thailand and above all home to a great piece of wild rule forest in which exactly these magical trees grow.

Also this Oudh is not animalistic even in the beginning, but is also described as balsamic, fresh floral and almost fruity.

So also in this fragrance the floral chords find their effect rather in a woody embrace and we don't get a "flower fragrance".

Dmirty adds tones of cocoa to the warm wood and then brings Zibet into play as a counter pool.

The animalism of the Zibet gives everything an expansive depth. Make a clear ambiguous offer out of the soul caress of the floral-balsamic oudh. It plays with the worlds and lets eroticism flash through again and again, skilfully and very dosed.

Oud Monarch almost scratches the border to the gourmand and is due to the unique composition absolutely recommendable for Oudh beginners as well as lovers.

This monarch rests within himself and sprays with lust under his robe.

Bravo!
