A few wearings of Golden Saffron, then decide
Golden Saffron is a perfume from Bortnikoff. There is no recorded pyramid on this page, because we only print notes we can trace. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
This page says little about what Golden Saffron contains, on purpose: no note list is on record, and the sample says more than a guess. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
Bortnikoff Golden Saffron has the status on request. The page is here so you can tell us you are interested; the sizes open up once we can fill the sample. We make no promise about timing. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Golden Saffron from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. A spray vial lets you apply it the way you would from the bottle, which a dab-on tube does not.
Testing it
Our data does not say whether Bortnikoff Golden Saffron is meant for warm or cold days, so test it in both if you can. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression.
We hold no data on who Golden Saffron is meant for, so we do not label it. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. We decant from the original bottle and label the vial ourselves. Bortnikoff does not make or endorse these samples; it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Golden Saffron the way you normally would.
No note list is on record with us for Bortnikoff Golden Saffron, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Golden Saffron as it was when we filled it.
The brand
48 perfumes by Bortnikoff: that is our current list of samples from this house. Every sample is a decant in a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. We file Bortnikoff under the niche perfume samples. Start small, wear each one on a normal day and decide afterwards.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
