Bortnikoff Chypre du Nord is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Dmitry Bortnikoff. Chypre du Nord opens with Bergamot and Orange, settles into a heart of Nutmeg and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Birch Tar, and Oakmoss. Bortnikoff's Chypre du Nord carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one is a seriously polarising chypre. Some smell a timeless, masculine masterpiece with incredible depth and performance, while others get weak mothballs and disappointment. Try before you buy, because your mileage may vary wildly.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Chypre du Nord opens with a brief, bright flash of bergamot and orange, quickly giving way to a more subdued, stewed peach nuanced by a hint of warm nutmeg. The real journey begins as it descends into its complex base of earthy oakmoss and smoky birch tar, intertwined with rich cedar. A sensual natural musk underpins the entire composition, softened by the creamy sweetness of benzoin and tonka bean, creating a dark, contemplative, and slightly animalic chypre experience.
