Lao Oud by Bortnikoff is an Oriental Woody fragrance that captures the essence of rare and distinctive materials, a hallmark of Dmitry Bortnikoff's creations. Launched in 2021, it opens with magnolia and pink pepper, creating a vibrant contrast before settling into a rich blend of cacao, beeswax, and Peru balsam. The heart notes of chamomile and cinnamon add warmth and complexity, while the base of agarwood (oud), guaiac wood, birch tar, vanilla absolute, and tonka bean creates an enveloping sense of depth and richness.

Application Tips
Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, one or two sprays are sufficient to make an impact. Apply it to pulse points for a more concentrated effect. The fragrance blooms gradually over time, so you can expect the base notes to emerge several hours after application.
