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 musk-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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its beastly performance and strong, complex amber profile, Kalimantan is best suited for cooler evenings and special occasions. It would be overwhelming in an office setting but perfect for a sophisticated date or formal event.

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.
