Bortnikoff Spanish Honey Extrait

Description

Spanish Honey rounds out Bortnikoff's 2025 Entry Level collection, co-created by Dmitry Bortnikoff and Chris Maurice. Bergamot and honey open with a velvety sweetness, a jasmine-orris-ylang heart deepens into resinous territory, and the base settles into vanilla, amber, sandalwood, and a whisper of oud — built with the same in-house natural oils that anchor Bortnikoff's pricier lines.

Scent Character

Oriental-floral: honeyed citrus at the top, a lush white-floral heart, and a creamy, amber-oud base. The oud here reads as a supporting note rather than the star — it's there for depth, not smoke.

FAQ

Is Spanish Honey sweet?
Yes, noticeably — it leads with honey and stays warm and floral throughout, without tipping into gourmand territory.

Is it unisex?
Yes.

How much oud is in it?
A supporting amount in the base — it adds depth to the amber-sandalwood drydown rather than dominating the composition.

How does it compare to Golden Saffron?
Both are Entry Level extraits, but Spanish Honey leans floral-honeyed while Golden Saffron leans spicy-aromatic.
