The fragrance opens with the aromatic freshness of thyme, rosemary, and natural bergamot, anticipating the heart notes of mystical frankincense, enchanting labdanum absolute, and iconic Indonesian patchouli. Grown in the shadow of Mount Kinabalu on the island of Borneo (also known as Kalimantan), the scent of these patchoulis possesses an elusive, sweet, wine-like floral nuance, which unfolds into a rich, woody, balsamic, and earthy bouquet. The incredibly warm and sensual aroma of Kalimantan is reinforced by the rich woody accord of patchouli, harmonized with base notes of vanilla, styrax, agarwood, cedar, and creamy sandalwood.
The essence of Kalimantan begins with the sensual warmth of the enchanting labdanum absolute, mystical frankincense, and Indonesian patchouli (originating from the island of Borneo). This rich foundation then rises with the sharp, earthy top notes of thyme, rosemary, and natural bergamot.
Then, the fragrance is securely bonded by the dark essence of agarwood, an extremely rare, luxurious scent, complementing the lighter and warmer tones of sandalwood, cedar, styrax, and the pliability of vanilla.
