Lao Oud

Inspired by treasured memories of visits to Laos and walks along the Mekong River in the ancient city of Vientiane, Lao Oud is Dmitri Bortnikoff's ode to the unique properties of prized Laotian agarwood- animalic but floral, and smoother than its Indian counterpart. Lao Oud is composed with a particularly magnificent specimen of Laotian oud oil specially obtained by Mr. Bortnikoff, which boasts a distinctive and beguiling honeyed quality. The raw, animalic notes of the oud are supplemented with robustly spicy and earthy Laotian coffee, fresh cinnamon and pink pepper, sweet and tropical frangipani, and smoky temple incense- all wrapped in a mouthwatering ribbon of wild mountain honey to accentuate this remarkable oud oil. Perhaps Bortnikoff's purest and most rawly animalic oud scent yet, Lao Oud paradoxically manages also to be one of its most delightfully wearable.
