Details on Bortnikoff Sayat Nova

Sayat Nova is a fragrance inspired by the legendary 18th Century Armenian poet and troubadour of that name. The scent evokes the romantic mysticism of exotic lands and bygone centuries. This exceptional creation fuses dark and intense woody tones with rich and luscious sweetness, creating an opulent masterpiece that captures the essence of romance and unbridled passion.

How does Bortnikoff Sayat Nova smell?

A masterful composition opening with luscious, syrupy apricot and delicate narcissus, followed by a rich heart of smooth rum and vanilla. The base showcases a complex blend of three prestigious ouds from Laos, Bengal, and Thailand, complemented by earthy oakmoss, creating a smoky, resinous, and deeply sophisticated oriental fragrance.

Fragrance with character

...immediately after spraying, the fragrance reveals itself as rich and intense, carried by a hint of rum and dried apricots... then the dark, viscous woody note takes over... it gives the perfume a relatively masculine, deep, and bitter power... the oud, however, remains surprisingly tame, accessible, and never loses its noble restraint... later, a fine vanilla ensures a harmonious finish... the longevity is extremely dense and long-lasting 🤎 Important: Be sure to test it on the skin! On paper, the true complexity of the fragrance does not come through at all.
