Bortnikoff Lao Oud 50ml

The central note — Laotian oud — is remarkably close to Indian oud in depth, but softer and more harmonious. I paired it with Laotian coffee, frangipani, pink pepper, and cinnamon. Wisps of incense, reminiscent of those rising from golden temple rooftops, complete the picture.

This is how Lao Oud was born — a fragrant walk through Vientiane, the quiet capital on the banks of the Mekong. Perhaps the most intensely oud-forward and coffee-rich fragrance in the Bortnikoff collection, Lao Oud is a journey captured in scent — full of memory, warmth, and complexity.
