Oud Maximus Bortnikoff — a 2018 fragrance that needs no introduction. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the east and wood families. The fragrance was crafted by perfumer Dmitry Bortnikov. The fragrance belongs to the 2nd collection. The fragrance is presented as perfume extract.
Made in Thailand, backed by a long and proud tradition. Oud Maximus Bortnikoff — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Oud Maximus is built as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The style of Bortnikoff is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract supports the right density and pace of development.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Whiteflower and Floral. It also reaches into Musk, Animals, Wood and Balsamic. At family level the composition sits in East and Wood.
In the top tier you sense radiant lemon-bergamot first notes: Bergamot, Cardamom, Jasmine Sambac and Orange.
In the central layer you detect Clove, Frangipani, Magnolia, May rose, Rose and Tonka bean holding a harmonious floral direction.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Animalistic, Balsamic, Citrus and Gourmet without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Floral, Fruit, Musc and Wood expand the olfactory volume in the background.
Taken together Oud Maximus sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best experienced through real development.
