About This Perfume
Bortnikoff Sans Fleurs smells like smoky rum, vanilla and oud leather. It opens with rum and vanilla, moves into ambergris, amyris and fennel and settles on Indonesian oud, Vietnamese oud and terminalia elliptica. It reads unisex.
It is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits nights out. Released in 2020.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and sweet for nights out.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong woody notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $350.
