Oud Malinau by Bortnikoff, as a decant
Bortnikoff Oud Malinau is a perfume from the Bortnikoff line-up. Its notes are not in our files, and we would rather say so than fill the gap. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

On the skin
No note list is on record for Bortnikoff Oud Malinau; wear it and judge. We would rather give you a clean sample than a description we cannot stand behind. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
The status of Oud Malinau is on request. That is an honest way of saying it is on our list but not yet in a vial. The form on this page is where you raise your hand. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
Your sample of Bortnikoff Oud Malinau is a decant: the perfume is taken from the original bottle by FragranceGems and filled into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml. The vial carries our own label. A spray vial lets you apply it the way you would from the bottle, which a dab-on tube does not.
Testing it
We have no tags that say when Bortnikoff Oud Malinau fits best, which leaves the choice to you. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby.
Our record does not say for whom Bortnikoff Oud Malinau was made. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label.
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.
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.

Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Bortnikoff Oud Malinau and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
No note list is on record with us for Bortnikoff Oud Malinau, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of Oud Malinau; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.
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.
