Bortnikoff Sans Fleurs is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Dmitry Bortnikoff. Sans Fleurs opens with Vanilla and Rum, settles into a heart of Amyris, Fennel, and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Indian Oud, and Oud. Bortnikoff's Sans Fleurs carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Sans Fleurs, French for without flowers, lives up to its name: rum and vanilla, fennel and ambergris, then oud and woods. It is dark, boozy and woody with no floral softness. A distinctive pick for oud lovers.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it too assertive for the office. However, its complex, dark oud profile is perfect for evenings, dates, and formal events, particularly in colder weather.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Sans Fleurs opens with rum and vanilla, boozy and sweet. The heart brings fennel, amyris and ambergris, a mix of anise-like freshness, woody dryness and a smooth, warm touch. The base is built on oud, including Indian oud, and other woody notes, which give a deep, dark woody character. Dmitry Bortnikoff is the listed perfumer. It is a woody, sweet-boozy oud scent, as the name hints, without any flowers.
