For the 3rd collaboration, Bortnikoff and Rajesh Balkrishnan weave an exotic olfactory Arabian Nights fantasy. Combining the finest natural gourmand absolutes sourced from around the globe, they create a rich feast of fruit, flower and spice to delight your senses.
What We Think
While many people rightfully love Bortnikoff for their most opulent oud-centric elixirs, we honestly have a soft spot for the fragrances that breathe new life into a familiar genre by way of their best-in-world ingredients and exquisite small-batch craftsmanship. In Scheherazade, Bortnikoff and Mr. Balkrishnan gift us with a gourmand that makes the mouth water and the pulse race at the same time, a surprisingly limber and seductive concoction that balances indulgent fruits and (unlisted but very present) smooth, creamy vanilla with vibrant bergamot, smooth florals, and seductively spicy pepper, all brought together with an energetic, spice-forward wild oud that wears with a notably modern flair. If you love the gourmand-but-sexy vibes of Parfums de Marly Layton or Nishane Ani, you won't want to miss this stunning release.
