What does Borneo Day smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though these ratings rest on only a small number of votes. It sits comfortably on men and women alike, leaning toward neither.

The fresh, floral and green accords come first, with fruity and woody sides in support. Green apple and ylang-ylang bring brightness and a soft floral touch, while hemlock fir and oakmoss lay a green, woody base. Black caraway adds a spiced edge, and the three ouds give the whole composition its depth.
