Kalbar 3000 is a Borneo oud that epitomises sophistication, complexity, and balance, crafted by the legendary Taiwanese Sifu renowned for his works of olfactory art created for the Oriscent Artisanal Oud house. This oil carries the unmistakable green, kinamic, mossy signature of his craftsmanship—an experience akin to stepping out from under a lifetime of cloudy skies to bask in the resplendent rays of sunlight for the very first time. It’s a fragrance that awakens the senses, offering a journey into a realm of oud rarely encountered.
The oil’s dark amber hue, minimal sheen, and light-bodied texture hint at its refinement even before application. Upon first inhalation, Kalbar 3000 greets you with radiant sunlight and the golden warmth of sweet honey. This opening sweetness is accompanied by the delicate aromas of melon and honeydew, enriched with a subtle touch of roasted sesame seeds. The composition is lifted by a fresh, minty vapour that runs throughout, adding brightness and balance to the deep, amber-rich profile. This is oud at its most harmonious, free from the high-pitched vanillic tones typical of some Bornean oils, having instead matured into a mellow and nuanced scent.
What sets Kalbar 3000 apart is its ability to balance the approachable and the extraordinary. The kinamic signature adds a velvety moss-like quality that ties its elements together with grace, making this oil both a luxurious indulgence and a masterclass in oud artistry. For those who have yet to experience this Sifu’s signature touch, Kalbar 3000 is a revelation, offering a rare glimpse into the resplendence of the finest oud craftsmanship.
Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or new to oud, Kalbar 3000 is an olfactory journey that delights, inspires, and elevates. It stands as a timeless testament to the artistry of Borneo oud distillation, destined to remain a treasured addition to any collection.
