Scheherazade

Scheherazade by Bortnikoff unfolds with a luminous burst of bergamot and black currant, delivering a refreshingly juicy, almost hyperrealistic fruit experience that feels both vibrant and balanced. The initial green, citrusy brightness gradually mellows into a subtly spicy heart where apricot melts into a faint pepper flare, creating a playful contrast between sweet and aromatic warmth. This transitions into a refined woody base with cedar and sandalwood, enhanced by a delicate, well-integrated Malaysian oud that adds depth without dominance, producing a soft, creamy, powdery dry-down with a subtle aromatic sweetness. The perfume is notably unisex, best suited for spring and summer days, offering a personal, intimate sillage and moderate longevity that feels more like a subtle scent bubble than a bold statement. It evokes a sense of elegant simplicity—calming, timeless, and quietly sensual—reminiscent of a northern breeze through a Mediterranean garden or a moment of quiet introspection.
