The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oud Monarch by Bortnikoff was launched in 2019 and crafted by Dmitry Bortnikoff, blending the rarest and most unusual materials to create a composition that stands out. The fragrance opens with a floral bouquet of frangipani and magnolia before diving into the heart of rose de mai and oud. The base notes of cacao pod, castoreum, civet, vanilla, and labdanum add warmth and an animalic depth, creating a rich blend of scents that evoke both luxury and intimacy. Bortnikoff's meticulous selection of materials ensures that Oud Monarch is more than just a fragrance—it’s a journey into the world of olfactory compositions.

How to wear it

Oud Monarch is long-lasting but has moderate sillage, so one or two sprays are sufficient. Apply to pulse points for a subtle yet enduring presence throughout the day. This fragrance works best in cooler weather when its warm and spicy notes can be fully appreciated.
