Zemfira
Bortnikoff (2019)

Sparkling young watery rose that is so inviting to encapsulate the wearer. Nothing out of place here as it is a very comforting and well behaved Vietnamese Oud which couples with sandlewood that finishes this scent to perfection. I can see why Dmitry feels this is his favorite scent. It has spoken to me numerous times and I can wear it with confidence in the workplace and I am a male. Unisex with perhaps a slight feminine learn. Well done indeed!

Spicy/powdery rose water-ish rose supported by a strong cedar note. The base will unveil a nice and well behaved (too well behaved?) oud note. I usually never say that, but this one definitely feels a bit grandma-ish. Projection is moderate, at best.

Good, but underwhelming, and modest performance is not compensating for its unsurprising scent profile. Doesn't meet - for sure - the expectations in terms of creativity and complexity set by the price tag, and would not recommend anyone to spend big Bortnikoff dollars for that one. That said, if budget is not an issue, it may please who is looking for a good rose water-like fragrance.
