Bortnikoff Coup de Foudre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Dmitry Bortnikoff. Coup de Foudre opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oud, Guaiac Wood, and Pine. Bortnikoff's Coup de Foudre carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Coup de Foudre is a rich, complex floral oriental with citrus and tea at the start, a bouquet of rose, tuberose and jasmine in the heart, and oud, labdanum, benzoin and vanilla below. It is big, resinous and ornate. Not a casual spray, a scent for an occasion.

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.

Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile for various settings, though it might be too unique and a touch too 'much' for a conservative office. The complex, evolving nature is great for dates or casual outings where you want something intriguing without being overpowering.
