Bortnikoff Oud Kinam is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Dmitry Bortnikoff. Oud Kinam opens with Bergamot and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Vanilla, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Thailand Oud, Oud, and Chinese Oud. Bortnikoff's Oud Kinam carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a high-quality, surprisingly wearable oud for those who want a refined experience without the challenging barnyard notes. It's divisive for some hardcore oudheads expecting a particular profile, but generally well-regarded.

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.

Its intimate sillage and refined character make it suitable for formal settings and dates, where close proximity allows for appreciation without overwhelming. While not a casual 'daily driver', its surprising wearability means it can be dressed down for sophisticated casual outings, though less suited for office due to the oud's richness.

About

Oud Kinam opens with a brief, bright burst of bitter orange and bergamot, quickly ushering in a delicate, green rose interwoven with subtle vanilla. A whisper of roasted coffee adds an earthy dimension without ever becoming gourmand. The true star is the base: a complex, multi-faceted blend of Thai and Chinese ouds that are smoky, woody, and slightly medicinal, yet remarkably smooth. It settles into a refined, slightly sweet, creamy oud with impressive depth.
