I tolerate this well, unlike the oud. But not a favorite.
Bortnikoff's composition Mysterious Oud begins with fresh notes of green Indonesian bergamot oil and orange spiced with cardamom and with amber as a soft finish. The heart notes follow the opening with floral accords of jasmine and rose combined with a spicy mix of cinnamon, myrrh, nutmeg and rose pepper along with animalic castoreum and creamy tonka bean. At the base are various layers of oud from Thailand, Vietnam and India, along with tolu balsam, cedar, opoponax, lotus flower and vanilla.
A key ingredient is Bortnikoff's own 100K fragrance construction from the company Feel Oud, which weaves all the components together into a beautiful and balanced unity of fruitiness, wood and floral elements.

Beautiful perfume! Excellent quality.. is it worth the price? Everyone sees it differently.
Really lovely. A little less farm-like scent at the start than many other Bortnikoff. Very fine scent. Maybe lasts marginally less time than others like Triad, Oud Maximus etc.
