Musk KhabibFloral Musk Extrait de Parfum

Musk Khabib by Bortnikoff is a niche musk, floral and amber perfume extract, unisex, created by Dmitry Bortnikov. Released in 2019, it brings together three of the rarest materials in perfumery.

A Thai house where the founder is also the perfumer

Bortnikoff is based in Thailand, in the very heart of the agarwood-producing regions. It was founded by Dmitry Bortnikov, a Russian perfumer who is both the owner and the nose of his brand, and who works with wild Thai ouds, sourcing his materials at the source. He uses genuine animal materials — deer musk, ambergris, castoreum, civet. The catalog is divided into four lines: Entry Level, Main Collection, Colognes and Attars. 50 ml bottle.

An opening of bergamot, cardamom and nutmeg

The bergamot opens bright and zesty, the cardamom brings its fresh and slightly camphorous spice, the nutmeg a woody warmth. Three materials, a clear and spicy start.

A heart of ylang-ylang, cedarwood and Tolu balsam

'Ylang-ylang' occupies the center, the only flower in the formula: solar, creamy, with that banana facet that belongs only to it. The cedarwood keeps it dry and the Tolu balsam envelops it in a vanilla resin.

A base of natural musk, ambergris and oakmoss

The natural musk and ambergris establish a warm and mineral animalic. The oakmoss brings its damp freshness, the vetiver its earthiness, the tonka bean and the vanilla their sweetness. Six materials for a very long trail.

The house's signature

Three rare materials in the same base. The natural musk, the ambergris and the oakmoss have one thing in common: they are three materials that contemporary perfumery almost no longer uses, either because they have become impossible to find, or because European regulations strictly regulate them. Bringing them together in a single formula is the kind of gesture that only a house working with raw materials can afford. And the construction puts all the weight on them: three materials in the top, three in the heart, but six in the base. The opening is just a threshold; the perfume lives in its longevity. Around it, a single flower, ylang-ylang, whose creamy side makes the transition between the spice and the animalic.

For whom, for what occasions?

Musky, floral and amber, this extract is for those who are looking for noble materials and a skin scent that lasts. It can be worn all year round, by day or by night, by both women and men.
