Bortnikoff Tiger Blue Extrait
Description
Tiger Blue is Bortnikoff's 2025 citrus-aromatic release, created by Chris Maurice and Dmitry Bortnikoff as part of the house's Entry Level collection. Bright grapefruit, lemon, and ginger open with electric clarity, violet and magnolia soften into luminous florals warmed by amber, and a base of ambergris, musk, vanilla, and benzoin lingers with sensual persistence. Fragrantica reviewers place it alongside Bvlgari Tygar and Sospiro Vibrato for character, with the closest kinship to Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger.
Scent Character
Citrus-aromatic up top, shifting into a soft floral-amber heart and a warm ambergris-musk base, a study in contrast between cool citrus transparency and golden resinous depth. No oud in this composition.

FAQ

This listing is Bortnikoff's Tiger Blue Extrait de Parfum, that's the fragrance's real name per the brand and Fragrantica. "Tiger Honey" doesn't match any released Bortnikoff formula; it appears only in this product's internal handle/URL, which is a naming leftover, not a different scent.
Is it unisex?
Yes.
What's the longevity like?
Around 8 hours on skin, consistent with Bortnikoff's other Entry Level extraits.
How does it compare to other niche citrus fragrances?
Reviewers most often compare it to Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger for the ginger-citrus opening, with some noting a kinship to Bvlgari Tygar and Sospiro Vibrato.
