Sir Winston

Sir Winston by Bortnikoff is a deeply unisex, floriental-oud fragrance centered around a lush tuberose heart, supported by green tea, ambergris, and a subtle tobacco floral note. The opening brings a sweet, slightly gummy tuberose accented by green tea and a lush ambergris that smooths the composition, creating an edible, almost drinkable fragrance that feels more like a fragrant elixir than a traditional scent. The ambergris performs beautifully, not overpowering but adding a layered, animalic-sweet depth that evolves into a melancholic dry-down with oud and soft vanillic tobacco. The fragrance maintains moderate to strong sillage and lasts several hours, though longevity is uneven depending on skin chemistry. It’s particularly effective during fall and winter, suitable for both day and night wear. The fragrance is not for those seeking a bold tobacco or smoky character—it’s more a refined, abstract floral-animalic with a gentle, green tea backdrop and a sweet-tobacco dry-down. While the tuberose dominates early on, the sweetness in the center phase can become slightly cloying for some, and the absence of a pronounced oud or tobacco trail undercuts the name’s expectation of a bolder, more masculine character.
