Sayat Nova, launched in 2020, is a joint creation by Dmitry Bortnikoff and Rajesh Balkrishnan for the niche perfumery brand Bortnikoff. This unisex fragrance opens with a bright fruity accord that contrasts sharply with its woody base, anchored by rich vanilla and rum notes. The composition is both warm and complex, with powdery and mossy undertones that add depth and intrigue. Sayat Nova captures the essence of refined elegance through its rare and unusual materials, embodying the brand's commitment to exceptional olfactory experiences.

Application Tips
Given its long-lasting nature, one or two sprays are sufficient. The fragrance blooms over time, so let it settle on your skin before heading out for optimal effect. It pairs well with layered clothing, allowing the woody and vanilla notes to envelop you as the day progresses.
