Bortnikoff - Mysterious Oud

[@gedvalaitis4877]

I'm glad you mentioned band-aid vib. Since you mentioned it, I get it. Many ouds, usually some good synthetic ones, like MFK uses, do smell like band-aid wound dressing. I'm glad you are critical of it, as it may be slightly boring. I would like the oud to have more of a punch. Bortnikoff is trying to make his quality natural Ouds, smooth and mass appealing.

Those notes 😍 i'll have to add this to my never ending list of "to try" fragrances. I haven't tried anything from them so this was so in dept and helpful 🙏

Cheers!

Although I like this but his new collection I feel is much better! :) Always a great vid brother :)

[@FragranceView]

Thanks man

Lovely review for my birthday. Loved this review. I can't wait to get my nose on some new indie/niche and of course some amazing undiscovered by me designer scents.

[@FragranceView]

Happy Birthday buddy!

[@sciguyfragz1616]

Great review man! I really need to try out areej la dore this sounds good too. I am planning on ordering a sample of oud luwak soon. Keep up the good work man!

[@FragranceView]

Thank you

[@gunmetal2445]

It’s very evocative of chinese temples and joss sticks to me. I enjoyed the scent memory connection but I also know I wouldn’t wear it. Do you feel oud oils maybe wasted in complex compositions?

[@FragranceView]

Sometimes yes, they can get lost in the mix and don't get to breathe

[@korakatar7921]

On my skin the castoreum and oudhs combine to give a sort burning oudh type of smell which i like. Had boughta sample and went ahead and picked up a 15 ml partial😊. Thanks for sharing your thoughts👍

[@FragranceView]

Thank you!

[@hasib1625]

This is another House I hope to be able to try one day. Great review ✌🏻

Did you ever try Nabucco Parfum Fin. Its a mixed media scent from a small niche house. The presentation is minimalistic, one of the best ive seen so far. The price is ridiculous (of course). But i think that its worth trying. The other scents are okay as well (all of them are mixed media). Would like to hear your opinion on benchaabane soir de marrakech as well (mixed media as well).

[@FragranceView]

I have never heard of them!

[@BurgundyandBlue1111]

I probably wouldn't try this. It doesn't sound like my thing. Very nice review though.

[@FragranceView]

Thank you

[@justaddlight]

Really interesting perceptions Peter!

[@FragranceView]

Thanks!

[@mailepointfive]

Oooh! Never heard of this one! Thanks!

[@FragranceView]

Cheers!

[@fahmisyakir36]

Yeah I do get the same bandage-ish vibe in my Myrrh resinoid oil, a little bit weird but still enjoyable 😁

[@FragranceView]

not just me then

[@rtroyer8963]

I thought it was very nice, pleasant and relaxing. Maybe a little Cambodi oud hiding in there ? Quite mysterious. Couldn’t help that.

[@FragranceView]

10 Points for effort

[@desertfox432]

Got a video idea for you: Best way to decant your perfume/Best decant flasks. I wouldn’t ask anyone else.

[@Tommelise]

I am at that point when I am over oud now but occasionally when I come across some high quality I am wowed by this gorgeous material. This line seems to be just stunning, really want to get my nose on it

[@FragranceView]

Most oud fragrances don't contain real artisan oud oils, just the idea of oud is over used in mainstream now

[@Imperceptible_parachute]

I need to get the hang of oud. Don't know it at all. But it seems to me that your early fragrance creations will be oud-nuanced ... And there's nothing wrong with that! By the way, was the castoreum accord in this fragrance animal-derived or a synthetic derivative?

[@FragranceView]

It didn't say so I am not sure..

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

How does this one compare to Oud Maximus ‘19? I’m in love with OM’19. This one sayings fantastic. Wondering if having both would be redundant.

[@FragranceView]

Never smelled the other, I am sorry

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

FragranceView No worries at all:)

[@adms8169]

I definitely get that bandage smell from it as well however I think it's from the carrot

[@christopherr6363]

Great video once again Peter! a lighter spray from afar would leave some better notes. i blasted my nose the other day from an mfk vial nd woooo my nose got a bit runny too from sniffing so hard off the extrait spray lol

[@FragranceView]

Cheers Chris

[@BilalBrown]

Please review Oud Maximus if you get a chance.

[@FragranceView]

I'll see if I can

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

@Bilal Brown How does this Mysterious Oud compare to Oud Maximus’19?

[@gospmusluver]

This almost sounds like Oud Wood Intense mixed with MFK Cashmere Oud. OWI is heavy on castoreum and MFK is heavy on smelling like bandaids lol

[@adms8169]

Think of it like arej LA Dore? They're two completely different worlds just because they are friends and work together it doesn't mean that their houses are any way shape or form similar 101 people use raw materials Musk hamburgers 100% essential oils etc etc does that mean they're all the same I don't think so there's absolutely nothing similar to each other especially these two houses that you mentioned they couldn't be far further apart

[@marshcrew]

Bortnikoff are way way easier to wear

[@mrspress8057]

That’s a lot of heavy hitting notes. Nice review!

[@FragranceView]

Thank you!

[@bel19119082008]

Haha I really can connect what u said bro. When u get the habit of pure natural complex oudh oils, it's obvious u will understand the lack of depth of oudh in these kinda scents. That's why I prefer I must have to sample oudh scents b4 I buy specially frm European perfumery. It's kinda shameful when a perfumery says MYSTERIOUS OUDH, so Mouthful, but just has a dash of Woodiness rather than the intensely leathery Hindi oudh or fruity combodian.

[@ScentitarFragrance]

This sounds interesting. What ouds would you suggest ?

[@FragranceView]

Depends if you want to try real pure oud oils, or a oud based perfume, and if it's real of synthetic, there's a lot out there

[@zavtradnem]

your favorite niche oud perfume?

[@FragranceView]

fort and manle bojnokopff probably, but the oud is only really noticeable in the opening, it mellows out with a mix of woods in the base and all wrapped up in cocoa

[@christopherr6363]

spray it on your wrist , its so much different than the back of your hand, just my 2 cents :)!

[@FragranceView]

I usually don't because I am always wearing sleeves, usually a hoodie through the day and it rubs off on my sleeves, then if I wear another fragrance the next day, my hoodie just becomes a mess of scent

[@christopherr6363]

@@FragranceView oh I see . sometimes i spray it on my wrist then pass my arm over my body to smell the sillsge, its weird but i live the sillage smell of perfume

[@wyomingpark]

Maybe thats why its called mysterious oud. Because the oud is elusive.

[@FragranceView]

Could be

[@ChildofGodforevr]

There is absolutely no leather in this one. But all the rest u mentioned is in there

[@someaussiebloke4487]

listening to the note break down it sounds like one right up my alley. shame about the peformance. speaking of peformance, i refunded my TF tuscan leather as it has been reformulated from the sample i have. 3 sprays and 4 hours later its a close skin scent. the sample, i could spray on my forearm it would project through shirt and be prominent for multiple days, even through light showers. shame.

[@FragranceView]

Buy the Rasasi version it's very strong..

[@someaussiebloke4487]

@@FragranceView it has a "dirty/skanky" vibe to it I do not prefer. Agree with you it's performance is quite good.

[@bel19119082008]

It's a nice fragrance no doubt. But why they call it oud just fr marketing. That's shameful. They just could call it some Woody or spicy etc. But not OUDH. meh
