Tabac DoréGourmand Amber Perfume Extract

Tabac Doré by Bortnikoff is an amber, gourmand, woody niche perfume extract, unisex, created by Dmitry Bortnikov. Released in 2021, it is one of the cornerstones of the main collection.

A Thai house where the founder is also the perfumer

Bortnikoff is based in Thailand, in the 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, castoreum, civet, ambergris. The catalog is divided into four lines: Entry Level, Main Collection, Colognes and Attars. 50 ml bottle.

An opening of pink pepper, vanilla absolute and ambrette

Pink pepper opens bright and slightly fruity, vanilla absolute immediately provides a thick sweetness, and ambrette — the hibiscus seed, the only plant-based musk in perfumery — adds a skin note. A dense and sweet start.

A heart of cinnamon, tobacco absolute, benzoin and fig

Tobacco absolute settles in the center: dry, spicy, diffuse. Cinnamon warms it, benzoin envelops it in resin, and fig brings a creamy and natural green, far from the candied dried fruit.

A base of resins, woods and two wild ouds

Cedar and sandalwood lay the framework, labdanum, Tolu balsam and Peru balsam provide a balsamic richness. Then wild Thai and Vietnamese oud brings its aged leather depth. The trail lasts for hours.

The house's signature

A tobacco absolute with over three hundred components. The house is precise on this point, and this is what distinguishes this perfume from all the tobaccos on the market: the absolute used here contains over 300 natural components, including pyrazines — the roasted and grilled molecules — and damascenones, which bring fruity facets close to rose and baked apple. It is therefore not a reconstituted tobacco accord but a unique material, already complex in itself. Opposite, the wild oud: a blend of natural oils from Thailand and Vietnam that the house describes as raw and unparalleled. Two materials, each taken to its highest degree, and the rest of the formula at the service of their encounter.

For whom, for what occasions?

Amber, gourmand and woody, this extract is for those who love rich tobaccos and raw ouds. It gives its best from autumn to winter, in the evening, worn equally well by women as by men.

With Tabac Doré Bortnikoff, Dmitry Bortnikov makes a tobacco absolute and a wild oud dialogue, without diluting anything.
