Bortnikoff Spanish Honey Extrait

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.
