Sayat Nova, from Bortnikoff was released in 2020. The perfumer behind this creation is Dmitry Bortnikoff and Rajesh Balkrishnan. The notes are Agarwood (Oud), Apricot, Laotian Oud, Magnolia, Narcissus, Oakmoss, Rum, Vanilla.
“Sayat Nova is a fragrance inspired by the legendary 18thCentury Armenian poet and troubadour of that name. The scent evokes the romantic mysticism of exotic lands and bygone centuries. This exceptional creation fuses dark and intense woody tones with rich and luscious sweetness. Like the famous balladeer himself, Sayat Nova inspires images of romance, opulence and unbridled passion.” -a note from the brand. That note from the brand is exactly what this creation is. This scent is really unique and I'm sure there won't be another one like it. Apricot and Narcissus in the opening creates an irresistible combination with rum and vanilla which are the middle notes. Those together with flowery aromas create an auspicious combination and nuance in a high-quality Oud base, which is a composition of ouds from Laos, Bengal and Trat. Oakmoss in the base brings the classic earthy nuance. There is a strong smoky feeling in this scent which is not a tobacco kind of. That smoke stays there all the time until the end and it's truly unique and a way too much for many. This perfume is really complex, it’s challenging, definitely not for beginners and everytime I wear it I experience something new. The lasting power is amazing, eternal. Sayat Nova is strongly male leaning, there is nothing feminine in it but I think it's beautiful regardless. Be aware that the juice is very dark and oily so it can't be washed away from light clothes. I only wear black or brown with this scent and the latter one describes this scent best. “A high concentration of perfume oils ensures great tenacity and the natural ingredients allow the fragrance to evolve and reveal many subtle, complex and beautiful nuances upon each application. Those who enjoy sweet and sumptuous scents and those who adore the endless intricacies of oud will find much in which to delight.” In this case I partly wanted to quote the company's description of the fragrance, because my own English is not good enough to describe this artistic fragrance as it deserves. This is a diamond 💎 💎 💎 💎 💎 > IF YOU HAVE THIS AND STÉPHANE HUMBERT LUCAS’ Mango Kiss, try that combo: it’s amazing!
