Chopard Black Incense Malaki is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Black Incense Malaki opens with Lavender, Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Smoke, Resins, Leather, and Oud, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Cedar, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood. Chopard's Black Incense Malaki carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's a powerhouse for those who crave dark, brooding scents, but steer clear if you're not into intense, animalic leather and proper smoke. Don't blind buy, seriously.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and dark, intense character, this is far too much for an office setting. It shines brightest on dates or formal evenings where its bold leather and smoky notes can make a statement without overwhelming. It's not a casual or sport fragrance by any stretch.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Black Incense Malaki plunges you into a smoky abyss, thick with burning resins and a bold leather accord. It's a deep, leathery experience, softened by an ambery warmth and the subtle nuance of oud. Imagine a luxurious, dark room filled with the lingering scent of rich incense and worn leather, with a hint of spicy complexity.
