It was founded by \u003cstrong\u003eDmitry Bortnikov\u003c\/strong\u003e, a Russian perfumer who is both the owner and the nose of his brand, and who works with \u003cstrong\u003ewild Thai oud\u003c\/strong\u003e, sourcing his ingredients at the source.

In the middle, \u003cstrong\u003ecastoreum\u003c\/strong\u003e — leathery and animalic — comes to disrupt the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA base of nine woody and resinous ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOud\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eIndian oud\u003c\/strong\u003e establish the depth, accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003esandalwood\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eTolu balsam\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eopoponax\u003c\/strong\u003e — sweet myrrh — and \u003cstrong\u003elabdanum\u003c\/strong\u003e provide the resins, \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e the sweetness, and \u003cstrong\u003elotus\u003c\/strong\u003e an unexpected aquatic clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe house's signature touch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCastoreum placed in the middle of the flowers.\u003c\/strong\u003e The construction seems abundant — twenty-two ingredients, nine in the heart, nine in the base — but one detail governs everything else: the \u003cstrong\u003eanimal material is not in the base\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it is usually placed to support the dry-down. It is \u003cstrong\u003ein the heart, between the rose and the jasmine\u003c\/strong\u003e. The disruption therefore arrives at the moment when the perfume should be the most floral, and that is what gives it its name. Second detail: \u003cstrong\u003etwo ouds\u003c\/strong\u003e, one generic and the other named \u003cstrong\u003eIndian\u003c\/strong\u003e, coexist in the base — the house distinguishes its agarwoods instead of blending them. \u003cstrong\u003eLotus\u003c\/strong\u003e, finally, is an ingredient that Western perfumery almost never uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom, for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoody, oriental, and spicy, this extract is for those who love dense compositions and orientals that cannot be easily summarized.
