Lao Oud Extrait de Cologne by Bortnikoff A Walk Through Vientiane

Lao Oud is an extraordinary Oriental Woody Extrait de Cologne for women and men, created by master perfumer Dmitry Bortnikoff and launched in 2021. By his own words, this is the most oudy, coffee-like, and animalic fragrance in the entire Bortnikoff Parfums collection — a bold claim from a perfumer who has built his reputation on oud compositions of rare depth and character.

The story begins six months before the fragrance was born, when a magnificent oil from Laos arrived in Bortnikoff’s hands smelling of honey, flowers, and a characteristic animal note unlike anything he had encountered before. Having visited Laos more than twenty times, the memories came immediately: the ancient city of Vientiane on the Mekong River, the incense drifting from centuries-old monasteries, the freshness of local spices, the richness of Lao coffee. Lao Oud is all of that, distilled into a single fragrance.

“A walk through Vientiane, an ancient city on the Mekong River the most oudy, and coffee-like animalic fragrance in the Bortnikoff Parfums collection.” — Dmitry Bortnikoff

The base is the revelation: Laotian oud and Indian oud together, layered with Lao coffee, guaiac wood, birch tar, vanilla absolute, and tonka bean animalic, dark, and profoundly long-lasting.

Cologne de Feu by Bortnikoff — Dedicated to Fire

Cologne de Feu French for "Cologne of Fire" is a radiant Citrus Gourmand Extrait de Cologne for women and men, crafted by master perfumer Dmitry Bortnikoff and launched in 2022 as part of the exclusive Three Elements collection. Alongside Sky and Earth, Fire is the element that binds all things together — purifying, illuminating, and transforming. Cologne de Feu captures that energy in liquid form.

In ancient times, fire was the image of the strongest human feelings: passion, love, inspiration. This fragrance channels all three. It opens with the burning brightness of citrus, warms through a luscious gourmand heart of tea and fruit sorbet, and settles into a noble base of cedar, sandalwood, and oakmoss. An inner fire flows through every stage gently warming, never burning.

“Opening with bright citrus notes, the fragrance gives true pleasure bordering on ecstasy: it combines the power of the tropics, the juiciness of fruits, and the warmth of the sun.”
