5 Interesting Facts about Bortnikoff Perfumes

Bortnikoff is a niche perfume brand founded by Dmitry Bortnikov in 2017. By education, the architect Dmitry Bortnikov became interested in the distillation process, having temporarily moved Southeast Asia and, in particular, Thailand. Together with his friend, they devoted time to finding unique ingredients and, becoming masters of distillation, created the Feel Oud company for the production of rare essential oils.

As part of this brand, friends experimented a lot with rare types of oud obtained in remote areas of Southeast Asia, and eventually became one of the three world leaders in the distillation of agarwood. In addition to oud, Dmitry Bortnikov has succeeded in distilling the roots of centennial sandalwood, combining it with the essential oils of wild Thai white lotus, Thai water lily, pink lotus, jasmine, as well as tropical fruits and flowers.

And although the company could not compete with wholesale suppliers in terms of production, it offered unique raw materials of the highest quality, allowing you to create an extraordinary olfactory palette. Ultimately, the possession of unique raw materials, the relentless search for even more interesting fragrances and a rich perfume experience led to the fact that only one step remained before the appearance of their own brand. So in 2017, Dmitry Bortnikov presented his premiere perfume collection as part of the Bortnikoff Company.

When working on a brand, the perfumer paid great attention to the ingredients. His task was to search for the rarest and most unusual materials. Creating a new perfume, Dmitry Bortnikov used components such as beaver stream from Russia, wild Vietnamese oud oil, real white ambergris of the Atlantic sperm whale, white Indonesian rose hybrid and other raw materials, the recipes of which are kept secret by the producing families.

It must be said that all Bortnikoff perfumes are produced in limited editions. And this is not a tribute to fashion, but is dictated by the specifics of perfume raw materials. The perfumes of the Russian company consist of 85-100 percent natural ingredients, so these compositions cannot be repeated or recreated. How impossible it is to find trees with the same smell and equally distill them. Each component is unique and a new batch will differ in its aroma, depending on the season of harvest, rainfall or air temperature during flowering.

In addition, the number of notes that make up the composition can reach fifty, and this makes it almost impossible to recreate one or another Bortnikoff eau de toilette. The collections of the company are distinguished by their uniqueness, complexity, the best quality, which will certainly be appreciated by connoisseurs of high-class perfumery.
