Fragrance information:
The house’s Kalimantan is an Eau de Parfum released in 2010. The fragrance was created for women and belongs to the oriental and woody fragrance families.

History and Concept
The house is a mission-driven brand inspired by nature and philanthropy. Kalimantan reflects this philosophy by combining rare, noble ingredients.
Released in 2010, the fragrance became further proof of the house’s craftsmanship and its love of natural extracts.
Olfactory Profile and Character
Kalimantan is a deep, resinous-woody fragrance with an oriental accent. It is built on the contrast between fresh herbal notes and warm, balsamic base accords.
Its moderate sillage makes it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions. The fragrance is ideal for cooler weather and evening outings.
How It Develops on the Skin
The opening is fresh and spicy, thanks to bergamot, rosemary, and thyme. The heart reveals resinous frankincense, labdanum, and patchouli.
The base is rich and multifaceted: benzoin, oud, sandalwood, styrax, vanilla, and Virginia cedar create a warm, comforting scent.
Similar Fragrances
If you enjoyed Kalimantan, consider Molinard Vanille Patchouli, Novaya Zarya Chypre, and Amouage Interlude Black Iris Man. They, too, captivate with their depth and nobility.
Creator and Influence
Perfumer Pierre Negrin is known for his complex and elegant compositions.
With Kalimantan, he created a fragrance that fits perfectly into the house’s aesthetic—natural, sophisticated, and full of character. It is a true olfactory gem.
