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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003e“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\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Scent Journey\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Lao Oud smell like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLao Oud opens with magnolia and pink pepper — soft, floral, and lightly spiced, a deceptively gentle introduction.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnolia · Pink Pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeart Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cacao · Beeswax · Peru Balsam · Chamomile · Cinnamon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agarwood (Lao Oud) · Indian Oud · Coffee · Guaiac Wood · Birch Tar · Vanilla Absolute · Tonka Bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bortnikoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dmitry Bortnikoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oriental Woody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcentration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extrait de Cologne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unisex (Women \u0026amp; Men)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear Launched:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Ingredient:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rare Laotian Oud Oil honeyed, floral, and animalic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is Lao Oud For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLao Oud is for the serious oud connoisseur those who seek \u003cstrong\u003eraw, animalic oud fragrances\u003c\/strong\u003e with genuine provenance and storytelling.
