Bortnikoff - L'heure Exquise
L’Heure Exquise by Bortnikoff is a unisex Oriental Floral fragrance released in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Dmitry Bortnikoff. True to the house’s artisanal style, this composition is opulent, complex, and richly textured—uniting precious natural materials with a radiant floral heart and deep resinous warmth.
The fragrance opens with a refined trio of cardamom, bergamot, and neroli. This blend delivers a bright yet gently spiced introduction, balancing freshness with a subtle aromatic sparkle.
The heart is the soul of the composition, brimming with luxurious florals and exotic nuances. Champaca, jasmine sambac, and Indian jasmine bring intoxicating floral richness, while cacao, clove, and camphor introduce depth, warmth, and a cool aromatic twist. Supporting notes of cypriol oil, myrrh, and cedar add resinous, smoky, and woody tones that enhance the fragrance’s complexity and dimension.
As L’Heure Exquise settles, it reveals a sumptuous base of tolu balsam, ambergris, oud, and styrax. These notes create a warm, resinous, and slightly animalic foundation—long-lasting, meditative, and exquisitely refined.
L’Heure Exquise is a masterpiece of contrasts—floral yet smoky, sweet yet resinous, luminous yet deep. A scent for true connoisseurs who appreciate richness, craftsmanship, and emotional intensity in fragrance.
Top Notes: Cardamom, Bergamot, Neroli
Middle Notes: Champaca, Cacao, Clove, Camphor, Jasmine Sambac, Indian Jasmine, Cypriol Oil, Myrrh, Cedar
Base Notes: Tolu Balsam, Ambergris, Oud, Styrax
