Santa Sangre
Bortnikoff (2021)

One of the most recent and biggest disappointments. Absolutely mediocre perfume, disconcertingly weak and not at all up to the best releases of the brand. It has no projection, it has no sillage and, in general, everything translates into a banal floral accord slightly vanilla, bah ... together, an absolutely useless creation that does not bring anything at all. Dimitri here has messed up the great one.

This one was simply too sweet right out of the gate. I couldn't even make it through a full sampling without washing it off. My second and third attempts yielded the same result. A strong dislike from the brand.

Opens with an almost vanilla custard note mixed with citrus that I find to be very beautiful! Mmmm....love it! I already know that I'm going to have to get a bottle of this one. More to come as it develops.
