Mallo
Spanish small-batch niche perfumery built around natural materials, limited production, and earthy botanical compositions.
About Mallo
Mallo is a Spanish niche perfume house founded by Antonio Lasheras and launched in 2021, with early releases appearing in 2021 and later additions through at least 2025. The brand is built around small-batch, handcrafted perfumery made in Spain, and multiple sources describe it as artisanal and limited in production.
Its creative direction centers on natural materials, scarcity, and a deliberately rustic aesthetic. Fragrantica and retail descriptions portray the line as focused on memory, forgetfulness, light and shadow, with compositions that lean botanical, green, woody, resinous, and earthy rather than sweet or mass-polished. The brand’s most cited releases include Sez, described as a green, herbaceous extrait with mate tea, tobacco, and hay, and Arc, a 2023 release for women and men.
Mallo stands out for using uncommon natural ingredients and very small runs, which places it closer to modern artisan perfumery than mainstream designer fragrance. Its identity is less about broad crowd appeal and more about dense texture, natural raw materials, and a Spanish craft narrative.

Brand Evolution
Mallo appears to have started as a tightly focused artisanal project and then expanded through a small number of releases rather than a large mainstream lineup. The brand has kept its natural, limited-batch identity while adding new fragrances through at least 2025. Its public image remains strongly tied to handcrafted Spanish production and uncommon raw materials.
Quick Verdict
Mallo is a credible niche house for people who want rougher, more botanical, and less commercial fragrances. It is not a safe blind-buy brand, but it is genuinely interesting if you value texture, scarcity, and natural-smelling composition.
