I test wore this a few weeks ago: A pretty good Citrus Floral with classic touches and a tropical twist. It opens with some nastiness due to the prominent indolic jasmine, oud and ambergris, but not too nasty. Just enough nastiness to enhance the classic vintage feel. This accord subsides after 30 minutes and it settles into a nice Citrus Floral with that frangipani tropical twist. It reminds me slightly of Falling into the Sea by Imaginary Authors. The floral aspect is fairly prominent and may justify a slightly more feminine leaning than is represented on this page. But still primarily unisex.
I really really like Amber Cologne, another one is the Musk Cologne that I just love in high temps. Thank's for hinting the Lacoste Land, It crushes in freezing temps and makes me think of summer and wears well in work too. Also thank you for the seven thousand videos you have made, and can't wait to see how the next seven thousand videos looks like :))
Nice job bro! Completely agree with you on this fragrance. My two favorite Bortnikoff frags are Oud Maximus and Amber Cologne. I have the gold caps but no complaints.
☆Ahhh, ...It makes you feel like your wearing something top secret... You nailed one of the great 7 'W's (i.e. who, what, when, why... in the celebration of enjoying fragrance and the joy of sharing it with others. This is the why I (and surely, the rest of the Ram Frag Fam) find your reviews in a class all their own. Bravo good Sir! ♡♡♡☆
Ramsey! Hello. Thanks for the review on this fragrance. Ive mentioned in past comments to you that I had purchased a few bottles from this brand 1. Amber cologne 2. Musk khabib 3. Voyage D'orient Im happy with them all and I think my favorite of the 3 is D'orient. While not ever having smelled the wood cap bottle of amber cologne , I suspect it as well as any others that originally had wood cap changed to more heavy artistic cap,smelled much better. The change of cap could be an indication of reformulation occuring,seen with amouage & creed & others. With creed it was seen with VIW. The blue cap original bottles put more emphasis on coconut note,whereas the later bottles with new cap put more emphasis on salty lime,rum note. Both smell great but you can clearly smell a change had occured. So I think it very likely cap change with Bortnikoff bottles is a stong indicator of formulation change. Im sure all your amber cologne Bortnikoff purchase smell far better than mine. It is what it is as they say. Im cutrently in the process of putchasing a few frags from a private seller that are from the artisinal brand called *JINKOH STORE. Those that seller is holding for me are 1.Sunset in Maroc 2.Sunsrt in Mysore 3.Sunset in Kyoto 4. Amber Noire 5. Aprukotto(*APRICOT) ---------------------------------------------------- I recently sold about 13 bottles from my collection & while Im planning on getting older formulations of those sold, Im happy to get those listed above. Frags sold were 1. Dior Ambre NUIT 2015 2. Dior Bois D'Argent 2015 3. Dior Leather Oud(2020)civet removed 4.Cartier Declaration D'un Soir 5. Diptyque Eau NABATI 6.DS & Durga Radio Bombay 7. Hermes Belami(1st reform) 8.nasonotto Baronda 9. Asq Saudi BLEND (Abdul samad AlQurashi middle eastern brand. Great house 10. Jovoy Papillon Rouge 11.Arquist Nanban 12.. Hermes M7 original ( I had 3 bottles,2 original & 1 1st reforn). 13. DIOR Homne 2014 . --------------------------------------------------- Of thec13 listed above id like to get 7 back. The diors would be great to get in older bottles,especially D'Argent & leather oud, which had the civet note my reform was lacking. If not, so be it. Ill just enjoy what I have Ramsey. Thanks again & have a pleasant work wk. A2🙂👍
Hi Ramsey, thanks a lot for this! Awesome video again, man. I plan to get the "Amber Cologne," but I am unsure whether to wait to find an old wood cap or get the new gold one. Again, thank you for your guidance. It's beneficial to understand the Fragrances. 🙏
A review of Oud Cologne coming? I'm curious if it's the most masculine from the cologne line and what your take is on that one, i havent tried it but it sounds really great? Good stuff!
i should have got this when it was availible cheaper...now im really interested in your opinion with the AdP Ambra that they claimed had real ambergris (and cost more than the bortnikoff on release lol). im prepared to be dissapointed, but i really love it
I don't know the year but it's one of the first couple years when the wood cap was still a thing I don't usually touch on longevity and performance as it's different for everyone and how much you spray but I usually get a full workday out of Amber Cologne ~8 Hours

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts JT 🙏🙏🙏
This one is up there on my wishlist for the upcoming warm season! Definitely a brilliant composition! 😁
One of my favorite "colognes" to wear in the spring and summer for sure 💪🐏
Old Bortnikoff’s are amazing. This is one of my favorite bright, citrusy fragrances. Simply gorgeous and amazing to wear in hot weather especially. 🙏
I agree old Bortnikoff are special 🤌🤌🤌

I have never smelled the new one but if anyone else has maybe they can comment below 🤔
My first Bortnikoff outstanding, and the rest as they say is history cheers Rams nicely done ✌️🙏👍
A great first Bortnikoff 🙏💪🐏
I have both Amber Cologne and Musk Cologne. Musk Cologne is the bold summery one for me and Amber Cologne is the elegant night time one.
That's an interesting way to put it🤔
Thanks for watching & sharing your thoughts
A review of Oud Cologne coming? I'm curious if it's the most masculine from the cologne line and what your take is on that one, i havent tried it but it sounds really great? Good stuff!
I will have to check and see if I have a Decant of oud cologne... thanks for watching 🙏
i should have got this when it was availible cheaper...now im really interested in your opinion with the AdP Ambra that they claimed had real ambergris (and cost more than the bortnikoff on release lol). im prepared to be dissapointed, but i really love it
I will definitely try and talk about it soon Sean 💪🐏
Got the modern formulation it doesn't last long on skin so i spray on clothes to make it last a bit longer but it is beautiful.
I agree it's just a beautiful composition... sucks it doesn't last long 😒
Sunday Ramday. 🐐
Thanks for watching brother 🙏🙏
@@RamseytheRamyou talk, we watch. This is the way.
How is the longevity? And wfrom which year is your bottle?
I don't know the year but it's one of the first couple years when the wood cap was still a thing
I don't usually touch on longevity and performance as it's different for everyone and how much you spray but I usually get a full workday out of Amber Cologne ~8 Hours
It smells more vintage than most of the vintages %) %) %)
White floral horror 🥶
I love it 💪🐏
To be fair, leaving aside my personal taste, it’s one of the best Bortnikoff’s blends, if not the best
Great fragrance but does not last
My wood cap bottle lasts one me...but I can understand the take as it's meant to be a Cologne 🙏🙏🙏
