The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Zemfira by Bortnikoff, launched in 2019 and crafted by Dmitry Bortnikoff, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the bright freshness of bergamot and pink pepper with the deep warmth of rose de mai and tea rose. The base notes of atlas cedar, sandalwood, and agarwood (oud) create a rich, powdery backdrop that grounds the composition in earthy luxury. This fragrance embodies Bortnikoff's commitment to using rare and unusual materials, resulting in an olfactory experience that is both sophisticated and distinctive.

How to wear it

Apply Zemfira in light layers to allow its nuanced notes to unfold gradually. The fresh spicy top notes will dissipate within an hour but make way for the rich woody base that lingers close to the skin throughout the day.
