    When is this coming to the American side of the pond? Dark toasted chocolate... cold coffee... patchouli, or is it vetiver?.... deep dry woods... and mint in the dry-down? This is either folly or...

    Goodness. My first exposure to this has me thinking I mixed it up with a horrid BPAL scent. Upon first blast, this smells a bit like a feral pound puppy who has been unwashed and sleeping on the...

    Dark, dangerous, delicious. I adore Borneo 1834. And this from one who is, frankly, not Serge's greatest fan. (And who loathes Angel, in case you wondered.) The wax sample pulled me in from...

    Usually I feel that the scent reviews don't need mine, as so much has been said already, BUT this scent is so original, so controversial, I'll just have to add my thoughts and feelings. I don't...

    Like a virgin, I launch into my first ever review. Had to really, because this is pure eau de Louis Armstrong and I will tell you why. When Louis was up there in age, he admitted to entertaining...

    I had the pleasure of being in Paris and buying this perfume directly at the Salons Shiseido Palais Royal, so I could try before I bought it. From the first sniff on I knew this one is a special...

    So disappointed with Borneo. I really had high expectations after reading it contained a chocolate/cocoa note and shared similarities with Angel (which I adore.) Unfortunately, all I get is...

    If there were a head shop on the Avenue Montaigne in Paris, this is what you would smell when you went in to get your haute couture bong. It is the same old sweaty patchouli, dressed up for a night...

    Perfume descriptions can be so subjective, but I will try.....<br> This one comes from the master Chris Sheldrake and Serge Lutens and was a much anticipated launch in September 2005. I was so...

    Meh. Since I already like patchouli, this new SL is fine but hardly brilliant or revolutionary. It really isn't anything special. I get a little licorice in the opening then a blast of strong and...

    Coming home from holidays there was an orange notice in the mail, so my first way was to the postoffice, to get the Borneo....waiting there for me. First: there is - thanks - no Angel in this...

    I also received a surprise sample set from Paris. How nice of them!!! Borneo 1834... it's nice, I like it, but it is not for me. It is smokey, woodsy and sweet. EDITED: I have bought a decant of...

    The lovely Salons Shiseido sent me a wax sample of Borneo, along with samples of Iris Silver Mist, Rahat Lokoum and Encens et Lavande. Now first of all, let me warn you I am a patchouli hater,...

    Borneo is like Angel having wild, unpredictable mood swings. It goes from moments of extreme sweetness to dark, very masculine (dry, woody) ones. But Borneo is not a copycat of the famous Angel,...
