Somewhere in Borneo
Nothing but wisps of mist are the shadows, time carried away the jungle. Warmly the haze billows over the loamy land, Litsea luminous points vein the myrrh, rain down on the fermenting berry, the parching dried fruit.
With the laurels you break into the soil, become one with the warm smoke and rain, the ethereal glow in layers of flowers that are nothing more than dark colors in the Borneo drill core of clay. It creeps you through crusts of balsamic bark, oil turned katrafay layers that seem like sweet incense between brownish earthy roots. The deeper the layers that overcome, the more patchouli liqueur is found - and then comes the Üjan and stirs the whole thing with the big spoon through - there come even times the grass roots, then again resin and myrrh smoke threads, dried fruit and laurel sparks to light in slow motion, becomes quite warm and sweet the resinous clay somewhere in Borneo.

"Borneo" is Thierry Bernard's Borneo contribution to his Parfumeurs du Monde project, in which the perfumers rely 100% on natural ingredients. While in the beginning hesperic aromas (litsea, mandarin) still play an important role in the loamy oud alongside the dry fruity, slightly cognac-like davana, increasingly sweet and warm smoky myrrh takes over in the heart before mainly liqueur-like patchouli and a bit of earthy and spicy vetiver in the base. Then in the fade the whole thing gets a little too balsamic resinous for me, almost benzoin-like with lots of myrrh. The jungle floor projects over eight hours arm-length to skin-deep.
