Good evening guys. Can anyone please tell me if there is a difference between the original oud maximus and the one from 2020. I have the vintage one which I didn't store properly and I think it turned. Or maybe I have a covid nose

 

[avo1811]

I remember thinking there was quite a difference. But its been so long I can't remember what the difference was. Youre welcome in advance for being absolutely zero help.

I asked Dmitry this very question and basically got the answer that the newer versions are less animalic with a bigger focus on the florals.

And could this perfume turn bad. I mean since it has less chemicals (if none) than othere , is there a chance that it's only my nose. Because same happened to me with other beast mode fragrance like DHI, DHP and lidge where I can only detect the smell for like 30 min and then disappear

If you got covid - then this is normal, and frags will smell off. Read on experiences of others, there is a thread about it.
Also, if you store your stuff carelessly, sure itll turn bad.

There is no difference, I have tried them both.

Finally comparing the OG Mysterious Oud with the current version. I think that they are very similar, however, there is a noticeable difference in the oud base. The OG has a more leathery quality to it, a bit of a chocolate facet, and feels a tad bit denser, and animalic. The current version is cleaner. They might come across as almost identical in the air, but sniffed close on the skin, I can't help but notice the slight difference. Besides, the original bottles looked amazing. I'll definitely try and get an older one.

Very small difference though.

Does anyone else get a connection between Lao Oud and Mysterious Oud, after Lao Oud settles down? The opening is reminiscent of Oud Monarch(didn't like that one), but it gets more into the MYO territory as it dries down.

 

[FragSyndrome]

When’s that new-new coming?

 

[Fragnanimous]

Well, I've been expecting the new fragrances for nearly two months, but the ship date keeps getting moved every week. I know new releases are tough so I'm just hanging in there.

Dmitry asked me not to release the information until he formally announces it! So hang in there....

 

[Mak-7]

Bottles and descriptions are on fragrantica now. All 3 look quite interesting.

 

[Paddington]

Glad to see he’s expanding his perfume pallete

Thanks for making it easy!

Cologne de la Terre sounds like it's right up my alley. Ambergris, natural Siberian deer musk, and sandalwood base - you know what I like Dmitry!

 

[FragSyndrome]

Alright, this is looking pretty good!

 

[I'm Nic]

Notes sounds interesting, but I'm a bit skeptic towards the "extrait de cologne" concentration.
His eau de parfums isn't exactly strong performers to begin with.
I hope it's more of a gimmick than anything, and that they perform like an extrait.

With which ones did you have "performance issues"?

Oud Monarch, Triad, and Musk Khabib all last very long for me

I was talking about his eau de parfums, i.e. Amber, Moss, Musk & Vesna Cologne for example.
I have no problem with his extraits, since they all (more or less) perform excellent on me.

I agree, this sounds like an absolute banger. Can´t wait for some pricing and release details. Hopefully I can try all three here in germany.

The latest collection is out soon and they all look and sound amazing.

Dmitry told me that he worked hard on these, slowed down his releases completely to focus and is extremely proud of what he's achieved. I'm excited.

 

[Mick B]

His blending is great, so I'm sure they are going to be lovely

That’s 100% what he needed to do for a Bortnikoff comeback! Slow it down and focus on some bangers.

 

[Mak-7]

Anyone ordered anything yet?
Any first impressions?
Looks like they are on website already.

 

[FragSyndrome]

I’m waiting to buy samples.

 

[911LambMelb]

Ordered but not yet received.

 

[Paddington]

would like to sample these at one point when 🙈 @Fragnanimous

 

[mikeperez23]

Really enjoying the last drops of L'Heure Exquise that I am eeking out of my decant. There is something in this that reminds me of Sir Winston, or am I mistaken?

Gotcha!

My favorite part of Sir Winston. Lots of Tuberose scents out there but not many with that stunning ambergris.

Should be here soon, Dmitry said he finally shipped them! I've been waiting for a few months now, I'm excited to get my nose on them...

Geez, shipping to Canada is a pain the arse so I've been avoiding looking into shipping across the pond.
There are many shipping forwarding companies that take care of that. I have a ton of customers from eBay that use that type of service. So, just now I had a thought, what if I contact them and see if they'll ship for me! They know all the tariffs and the do's and don'ts so this may be a solution for me.

Dont even start about shipping to Canada. I feel that our laws and regulations are from the Dark Ages.....everything works against us

Count your blessing that your not in the EU/UK. It could be worse.

Well, they have alot of good stores and Harrods to cover for quite a few brands that are not even shipping to Canada. And flights around europe, at least before were dirt cheap, so i could rent a pp box or have mail it to a friend and pick stuff up myself from there
