What does Borneo 3000 (Pure Parfum) smell like?

Pink pepper, gardenia, strawberry and honey come first, then ylang-ylang, mimosa and violet carry the floral side through the heart while Borneo and Sumatran oud gain weight behind them. The base settles on Burmese oud, Timor sandalwood, Bourbon vanilla and ambergris, giving it an animalic, woody and sweet footing.

Longevity is rated strong, and most voters find the sillage good, though few have rated it. With its dense, oriental character it suits cooler weather and evenings best. It is described as unisex. Ensar Oud Crime & Punishment (Pure Parfum) and Roos & Roos Oud Vibration have a close profile.
