Originally trained as an architect at the Moscow Architectural Institute, he discovered his passion for scent during his travels across Asia. There, he encountered traditional perfumery practices and authentic oud, which sparked a transformation from architect to artisan perfumer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"941\"\u003eIn 2013, he co-founded Feel-Oud with Russian Adam, focusing on the distillation of precious oils from agarwood and sandalwood. This experience gave him a deep understanding of natural raw materials and traditional distillation techniques. By 2017, he launched his own brand, Bortnikoff, and established operations in Thailand, where he could access high-quality ingredients and work within more flexible regulations that support the use of natural materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"943\" data-end=\"1418\"\u003eBortnikoff is known for his uncompromising commitment to authenticity. His fragrances typically contain a very high percentage of natural ingredients, many of which are distilled in-house. He works with rare materials such as Siberian deer musk, wild Vietnamese oud, and genuine ambergris, creating complex compositions with numerous components. His philosophy prioritizes artistic vision over cost, using materials in the quantities required to achieve the desired result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1719\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1466\"\u003eNatural Luxury and Olfactory Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1469\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1719\"\u003eBortnikoff’s creations combine artisanal skill with rich complexity. \u003cem data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1553\"\u003eAmber Cologne\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates his ability to craft fresh yet luxurious fragrances, blending bright citrus notes with precious ingredients like ambergris and multiple oud varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"2048\"\u003eHis oud-centered compositions highlight the depth of his craftsmanship. \u003cem data-start=\"1793\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003eLao Oud\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful and animalic fragrance, combining honeyed and floral nuances with deeper, more intense facets.
