Bortnikoff Oud Loukoum is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Dmitry Bortnikoff. Oud Loukoum opens with Tobacco and Dried Fruits, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Indian Oud, Cedar, Oud, and Guaiac Wood. Bortnikoff's Oud Loukoum carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Divisive and distinctive, Oud Loukoum isn't for everyone. Some find it a masterpiece of dark, balsamic oud and sweet florals; others struggle with its challenging, medicinal opening and relentless, chalky oud. Definitely try before you buy.

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

Oud Loukoum opens with a complex dance of dried fruits and tobacco, hinting at an exotic journey. The heart reveals a rich, almost fermented ylang-ylang, a powerful floral sweetness that intertwines with the robust, multifaceted oud. As it settles, a deep, resinous base of Peru balsam and guaiac wood emerges, cradling the oud in a smoky, balsamic embrace. This isn't a shy scent; it's a dense, woody, and darkly sweet composition.
