Bortnikoff Millennium Santal Extrait

Description

Millennium Santal is Bortnikoff's tribute to sandalwood, part of the house's 2025 "Entry Level" collection co-created by Dmitry Bortnikoff and Chris Maurice. A citrus-jasmine opening gives way to a creamy sandalwood heart textured with cedarwood and lily of the valley, before settling into an oakmoss-vanilla-tobacco base — a modern, wearable read on a classical wood note.

Scent Character

Oriental-woody in structure: sandalwood is the throughline from heart to base, framed by a fresh citrus-floral opening and warmed by tobacco, amber, and oakmoss. No oud here — the woodiness comes entirely from sandalwood and cedarwood.
