Borneo 2000 _ one of the most favorite Borneo of mine. Only 1 full bottle left & I use it very sparingly. A real uplifting oud for me. When wear it _ I feel like I've reached a deepest core of a jungle after rain. I found an old broken tomb. I found a rusted iron chest in it & break it. Then i get an ancient leather bounded parchment. I close my eyes & smell it ... aaauuuooohhhhh ... with all of the jungle fragrances after rain ... moss ... old leather binding ... old parchment ... all together _ it's a true relaxation for the soul. A true uplift for the inner self !
(* Even though you have a much bigger collection than mine ... not to mention that I wore XLL right after reading your post ...
)
Indeed ! Some darker mysterious fragrances which I admit are to die for... such as Port Moresby/Kinamantan/Sultan Afnan/Aku Akira/Green Papua/XLL. I regret I ought to buy 2 full bottles of XLL instead of 4 TR. I've to buy at least 3 bottles of it. It's a true satisfaction. Xiang Liao Ling. Worth every penny.

Not only that _ it has the 'most uplifting capability' among all Borneos I have. I have couple of full bottles of Borneo 50k/Borneo 5000/Borneo 2000/Archipelago. Each & everyone has it's own beauty. 50k is the most beautiful one. But Borneo 2000 has the strongest uplifting quality... & does it 'Instantly' !
Ahh. Glad Mr Borneo Diesel is getting some real play here. It isn't talked about enough, and some of that is my fault. I don't wear a ton of Borneo oils anymore, but this is one I absolutely should. The topnotes are surreal. I talked about it in the past as psychedelic, alien, incredibly heady. Truthfully it is beautiful. It does resemble Kyara de Kalbar, I would also go so far as to say it also resembles the immaculate Brunei Kinam. With that, I think they all have some basic similar DNA, the three are in no way interchangeable.
Today I burned some Vietnamese agarwood chips topped with the beautiful Oudh Dhul Q. Once the dust settles if the Oud wood, the oil kicked in and didn't disappoint as always. Simply an awesome super high incense grade Oudh.
I put some on a friend and after a few mins, he says to me this is the best Oudh, I have ever smelled. Welcome to EnsarOud I told him.

All the talk of Borneo Diesel..I fueled up today. Man, this is nice stuff. Crazy vibrant opening, seriously will knock your socks off. But the base is much better than I remembered as well. Very very nice Borneo.
Also went with a swipe of ASO's Al Malek Al Maliyzi. A Malaysian which smells like a bit of a fusion of Kynam Emerald and Tigerwood 1995. Nice stuff.

Adam's Ko Do Extreme is up today. This was one of his Gaharu member only deals a while back. I liked it from the get go and for the money it was crazy good, but this oil just continues to get better and better. It initially had a little awkward bitterness but that is long gone. It is a dark resinous sweet camphorous scent that I just love. No tutti frutti Thai stuff. Thanks so much for putting out oils like this Adam! Can't wait for the Chinese!
Nice Koool!!
I was reaching for OM5, but I'm going to the Shopping Mall with my Wife and Son, I didn't want to get caught in public constantly sniffing my hand
So I decided to go with the ethereal Muana Ltd
