If you haven’t yet joined the barnyard fan club, or want to go on a fast from the fruit of Cambodis, then Bois de Borneo’s bare bones agarwood is for you.
You’ll relish the honeysuckle, the naked-earth-meets-honey head and heart. But what will keep your nose glued to your wrist is the baritone of sizzling Borneo chips that holds the lead throughout this woodchant fantasy.
It all mellows into that enchanting Malinau dry-down you’d wish would never end. And it never does. Almost. Bois de Borneo boasts robust tenacity on the skin. On clothing, it will last for weeks.
If you’re new to oud, this is a great first choice. If you’re a seasoned collector, you’ve just found that perfect, ultra versatile daily swiper you’ve been wanting all this time.
Its brawny tenacity ranks Bois de Borneo among the finest oud fixatives available to the perfumer. In an oud blend, it will staple other notes imparting depth and longevity.
For the natural perfumer looking to add the ‘soul of wood’ to a blend, Bois de Borneo offers a rare ingredient. Its woody iridescence will reverberate through heart notes and, depending on what you choose to pair with it, might even fumigate head notes with its Malinau mists.
