1. Once you get past the bizarre top...

   Posted by Tina on 23rd Oct 2015

   ... it is fabulous! If not for the bizarre, off-putting, sour opening of this scent I'd have given it 5 stars. To be honest, it smelled so "off" straight from the vial that I very nearly did not even try it on my skin - but I know better than to ever judge a scent based solely on its first olfactory impression without giving it the chance to work some magic on the skin, so I dabbed a bit on my wrists and the back of my hands and within about 20 minutes the strange dirty socks-sour-camphor-chocolate note at the top dissipated and the scent only continued to improve on my skin. It ended as a very, very, VERY sweet gourmand patchouli that I adore. So sweet, however, I'd have trouble classifying this scent as unisex - but scent is subjective and perfumes generally smell different on each of us, so to each their own.
   
   To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure if it's a scent that could become a regular go-to for me based on that bizarre gag-inducing top. If only I could skip right on past that I'd wear this scent constantly because the dry down is stellar.

2. Nice!

   Posted by ep on 26th Jul 2015

   The opening is boozy whiskey and cocoa with a bit of tang from the patchouli. This is my favorite part. As it mellows the booze softens to slightly camphorous and retains the cocoa and dry, earthy patchouli until the end. I was actually hoping for a "wetter" more syrupy quality but it is actually pretty airy considering the notes. It has an ambery quality and reminds me somewhat of Parfums de Empire Ambre Russe but is less muddled (and I found that one too much and nauseating). Also reminds me slightly of Tom Ford Noir Extreme. Borneo is completely unisex and seems like it would be good for Fall/winter. May appeal to those ambivalent about patchouli but has enough that probably won't appeal to patchouli detesters. I like it but not sure I'd buy a FB.

3. Wonderful!

   Posted by Joy Erickson on 12th May 2015

   I was completely enchanted by this fragrance. I always thought that I disliked patchouli, but the quality of patchouli in this fragrance is fabulous. It is a fragrance that caused me to reflect on past times. I love wearing it in my garden.

4. This is good

   My review for few other product were negative but this product is worth every penny of its price. It is long lasting and contains its base scent for at least 10 hours

5. Different

   Posted by LMD on 15th Jul 2013

   I was a patchouli virgin and tried the patchouli sample set that included this fragrance. I loved it! It was the best of the three and was the patchouli sent I wanted. It has a strong start, but mellows in to a wonderful scent.
