What does Kalimantan smell like?

It opens with rosemary, thyme and bergamot, then moves into Indonesian patchouli, frankincense and cistus absolute. The base is led by oud, styrax, vanilla, cedar and sandalwood, and the accords bring out an earthy, powdery, gourmand sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out are the most chosen occasions. Most voters read it as feminine, while some see it as classic or masculine. Parfum Satori Satori and Nóvaya Zaryá Patchouli Magique have a close profile.
