What does Malinau smell like?

Papua New Guinean vanilla, cinnamon and Borneo oud form one continuous scent rather than separate layers. The oriental, spicy side carries a warm sweetness, while resinous, smoky and earthy tones deepen the woody body, with green and leathery touches in the background.

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good. It is chosen most for evenings and nights out, with some room for leisure and daily wear. It reads as unisex. Ensar Oud Black Sumbawa and Ensar Oud Borneo Reborn have a close profile.
