Chantecaille Kalimantan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Pierre Negrin. Kalimantan opens with Bergamot, Rosemary, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Labdanum, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, Benzoin, and Styrax. Chantecaille's Kalimantan carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Kalimantan is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Divisive yet deeply loved by its fans, it's a bold, beast-mode oriental that demands attention and leaves a memorable trail. Not for the faint of heart, but for those who embrace its complex character.

About

Opens with an herbal blast of rosemary and thyme, quickly giving way to a rich, resinous heart of patchouli, labdanum, and smoky incense. The dry down is a warm, velvety embrace of sandalwood, benzoin, and vanilla, creating a complex amber experience. It's a heady journey from sharp green to warm, sweet woods, with a persistent backbone of eastern spice.
