Details on Bortnikoff Lao Oud

Lao Oud represents the pinnacle of oud-based perfumery, featuring an exceptionally powerful and animalic agarwood composition. This masterful creation combines precious oud oils from Laos and India with rich coffee notes, creating a dark and mysterious fragrance that captures the essence of ancient Vientiane. The composition is enriched with beeswax, cacao, and subtle floral touches, resulting in a complex and unforgettable olfactory experience.

How does Bortnikoff Lao Oud smell?

Opens with a powerful, animalic oud accord complemented by delicate magnolia and pink pepper. The heart reveals rich layers of dark cacao, beeswax, and Peru balsam, enhanced by warming cinnamon and soothing chamomile. The base is dominated by precious Laotian and Indian oud oils, intertwined with coffee, gaiac wood, tonka bean, and subtle vanilla, creating a deep, resinous, and slightly smoky character.

my beginner oud

I like it better with every test. A strong, medicinal-smoky sillage that challenges the nose. As a reward, underneath lies the powdery-gourmand base, a barely perceptible sweetness. The fragrance is animalic only in a pleasant way, soothing and warm. Properly dosed, it is absolutely suitable for daily use and brings a bit of shine to the grey.

Viking soul

Lao Oud is not a fragrance for the market, it is for the hall (wood, fire, time and depth). Not a fragrance for pleasing, but for steadfastness and no fear in the darkness.
