Fresh · Floral · Sweet
Bortnikoff Marrakesh (Elixir) is a sweet, spicy unisex fragrance that opens with Tunisian orange blossom absolute, nutmeg and black pepper.
Up top, the orange blossom brings a floral freshness while nutmeg and black pepper push the spice forward. The heart holds elemi resin, nectarine, hedione and jasmine, which give it a fruity, floral softness. In the base, benzoin, Borneo oud and vanilla absolute settle it into a resinous, creamy, lightly smoky sweetness.
Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these views are tentative. It is unisex, and its oriental, woody character points towards cooler weather. Jo Malone Dark Amber & Ginger Lily and Histoires de Parfums 1472 have a close profile.
