  1. If Bortnikoff touches on Oud, any niche and independent fragrance lover has to take a look. As part of their Oud collection, which is among the best on the market, the anticipation is high. Indian Oud is usually iconic, sometimes with notes of fermentation, stable, or even a bit fecal, but with this Hindi Oud, the house brings something ‘for the whole family’. Although they list several notes, Oud is the undisputed star. Unlike others from the brand, here there’s a background of ambroxan, musks, and other molecules that clean up the Oud, making it kinder and more wearable for everyone. Notes of orange blossom or cherry are barely noticeable to my nose, but they help lighten the accord. At first, briefly, it can show a lactonic and fermented character, which is a bigger challenge. It will surely generate divided opinions: purists will find it different from the brand’s signature, missing the sharpness of typical spicy or floral notes from Bortnikoff that give a more natural finish. Besides, being Indian Oud, one expects something rougher, wilder, and more direct, but this smells too cunning and lacks that wild aspect. On the other hand, the Oud accord is very pleasant and has the elegance to be a great perfume. Undoubtedly, it’s Bortnikoff’s attempt to make their fragrances more accessible (aromatically) to more people. It’s a good perfume, appropriate for any age, and not as mature as other creations from the house. It has the versatility and presence to be worn on any occasion, which is a plus. In any case, it’s an enjoyable fragrance worth trying. Cheers.
