Description

Lao Oud is a walk through Vientiane, an ancient city on the Mekong River—the most oudy and coffee-like animalic fragrance in the Bortnikoff Parfums collection. The composition is based on a magnificent oil from Laos that smells of honey and flowers with a characteristic animal note. This oil smells extremely close to Indian oud but is much softer. The fragrance is supplemented with notes of beautiful Lao coffee, frangipani flowers, the smell of incense from many ancient monasteries in Laos, and fresh spices—cinnamon and pink pepper. The result is a powerful and animalic oud fragrance that is both captivating and sophisticated.
