EO White Kinam
EO Malinau 3000
The Oud Lab Borneo Kin
EO Guallam Kilam
Comparing these Borneo oils for the day and also put a bit of Guallam Kilam just to confirm something regarding Oriscent oils, in this case with White Kinam.
First off, I think Borneo Kin is a banger for the price. To me, it is pretty much in the same vein as Malinau 3000. It beautifully captures the aroma of the wood, showcasing vanilla, almond/nutty, earthy-green, slight berries. Very delectable and clean. Honestly, I would buy Borneo Kin over Malinau 3000 as they feel very similar to me.
White Kinam is a different beast. It smells more of fuming wood than actual wood. Right off the bat is very vaporous, like smelling smoke. But very beautiful smoke, dense yet light. I found the same Vaporous effect in Guallam Kilam, so I put a bit next to White Kinam, and yes, it is the same smoky quality. Doesn't even feel like smoke, more like steam, vapors. I remember reading somewhere that all these Oriscent oils have this quality. I can definitely perceive it with White Kinam and Guallam Kilam. Vapors, very dense steam, vanillic but more like white vanillic rather than brown-yellow, you also get some citrus notes showing now and then, feels very ancient, old wood like smell. No earthiness or green facets like I find in the other two Borneos. Definitely prefer it over the other two. Borneo Kin and Malinau are great, but this one is special for sure. Might save up for a bottle lol. I actually think the current sale price for 2 grams is not bad at all. I doubt there is any other Borneo oil that smells like this currently on the market, or that will ever be.
Update: I prefer Malinau 3000 over Kin as the hours pass by. They are very similar at the beginning but Malinau is more complex. Goes from earthy to creamy vanilla, with some blueberries. Kin stays more linear with more present earthy-green facets. My pick would be WK>M3000>Kin.
