Maksim Discovery Sample Set
Maksim Discovery Sample Set
Description
Ten Extrait and EDP miniatures from Maksim, each one a chapter in the house's journey through rare oud, animalic musks, dark marine notes and quiet forest ingredients. Maksim, founded by the son of Dmitry Bortnikoff, brings the same dedication to rare natural materials and artisan technique. This set covers the full range: from the wild coffee of Café Mystique to the seaweed and ambergris of L'Oud Marin, and from the daring animalic Musk Couture to the coniferous calm of YETI. It is the most efficient way to find your favourite before committing to a full bottle.

How To Use
Work through them one or two at a time. Apply to a pulse point in the morning and wear each for a full day before judging. Notes like oud, animalic musk and incense evolve over hours, so give them time before deciding on a favourite. These are manufacturer samples at the concentration the house intended.
