Bortnikoff Discovery Sample Set

This Bortnikoff Discovery Sample Set is a curated journey through the house's mastery of rare, natural oud, moving from bright, citrus-driven colognes into progressively deeper, more opulent oud compositions sourced from Sri Lanka, Laos, China, Thailand, and India. Rooted in founder Dmitry Bortnikoff's background distilling agarwood at his Feel-Oud company, the set showcases his in-house oils alongside rose, tobacco, leather, and resinous ambers, each fragrance highlighting a distinct regional character of oud.

Scent Character

Less a simple sampler than a tasting menu of oud terroirs: the set spans light citrus colognes (Ambre Cologne, Musk Cologne, Oud Cologne), musky orientals (Musk Khabib, Rich Elixir), and the house's signature oud-forward extraits (Sayat Nova, Mysterious Oud, Lao Oud, Oud Kinam, Oud Maximus, Oud Monarch, Tabac Doré, Triad, Dubai), all built on 95–100% natural ingredients.
