Borneo Qi 2018: old-school Sinensis with a captivating blend of resinous, incensy bitterness

Origin/ Year: Borneo 2018

Species : Aquilaria Sinensis

Olfactory Profile : Dark Diesel - Creamy Sandalwood - Gourmand Vanilla - Fruity Fig

This a dark woodsy vibed aromatic with hints of resinous and incensy sweetness reminiscent of the buttery softness of sandalwood, the earthy bark of cinnamon, and a subtle sweetness from cassia, with just a whisper of nutmeg.The resinous quality also reminds me of liquified Sultani Hojari resin. What you have here is an old-school, 30 day soaked, hydro-distilled Sinensis with a captivating blend of resinous, incensy & creamy sweetness.

The heart reveals even juicier tones—imagine heavily lacquered oak with clean hints of castoreum & oak moss; oh, and crushed ambergris.

The dry down is where wafts of caramelized sugar, accompanied by a lingering clean fruity fig/ date essence. This olfactory journey is bold, unapologetically masculine with layers of complexity that unfold gracefully over time.

Borneo Qi is not just a scent- Its a therapeutic experience
