Malakeos

by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud

Bvlgari Malakeos is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Malakeos settles into a heart of Geranium, Oakmoss, Musk, and Lavender. Bvlgari's Malakeos carries a Favourite verdict, a earthy-led wear.

A fougere masterpiece controversially axed too soon. Malakeos is a modern classic that commands a loyal, almost frantic, following among those lucky enough to have experienced its charms. Good luck finding a bottle, though - it's practically a mythical beast.

About

Imagine a brisk, herbaceous fougere that opens with a clean, spicy burst of lavender and geranium. As it settles, the scent deepens into a mossy, earthy heart, with the soft, grounding presence of guaiac wood and musk. It's like a walk through a pristine, cool forest after a spring rain, refined and utterly sophisticated with a smooth, barbershop finish.
