MYSTERIOUS OUD

Bortnikoff Mysterious Oud (2018) is a rich and enigmatic oud fragrance that combines radiant citrus, exotic spices, lush florals, and deep balsamic resins with remarkable complexity. Bergamot and orange create a bright and sparkling opening, warmed by cardamom and amber for a soft, sensual glow. At its heart, rose and jasmine blend with cinnamon, cloves, pink pepper, and nutmeg, creating a rich spicy-floral character, while myrrh, castoreum, and tonka bean add a darker, animalic and resinous depth. As the fragrance settles, a complex blend of Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese oud takes center stage, revealing a deep woody character surrounded by creamy sandalwood, cedar, and smoky balsamic resins. Opoponax, tolu balsam, labdanum, and vanilla add warmth and sweetness, creating a smooth and enveloping foundation beneath the powerful oud. Dark, resinous, spicy, and quietly animalic, Mysterious Oud is a sophisticated expression of traditional oud, balancing luminous citrus, exotic spices, delicate florals, and rich natural oud with a warm and mysterious character.
