The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Cuir de Cerise by Bortnikoff was launched in 2026, crafted by Dmitry Bortnikoff to create an Oriental Woody fragrance that defies conventional expectations. This composition opens with a striking contrast of sour cherry and saffron, juxtaposing the tartness of fruit with the warmth of leather and smoky oud. The heart reveals osmanthus and apricot, adding a soft floral touch that complements the overall richness without overpowering it. The base notes of olive, nagarmotha, and agarwood create an enveloping animalic depth, making this fragrance both distinctive and deeply engaging.

How to wear it

Apply Cuir de Cerise to pulse points for a warm, close-to-skin presence that allows the rich base notes to unfold gradually. The sour cherry and saffron top notes are fleeting, so focus on letting the smoky and leathery heart and base take center stage.
