Chopard Musk Malaki is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Nicolas Beaulieu. Musk Malaki opens with Musk, settles into a heart of Cedar and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Leather. Chopard's Musk Malaki carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent; some will love its clean, dry musk with an intriguing industrial edge, while others will find it just too strange or, worse, completely forgettable. Definitely not one to blind buy.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Musk Malaki opens with a dominant, clean musk, quickly joined by a sharp, invigorating black pepper. As it settles, a dry cedar emerges, underpinning the scent with a woody, slightly crisp quality. The base reveals a soft, suede-like leather, lending a touch of sophisticated warmth without ever feeling heavy or overwhelming. It's a remarkably airy and modern take on musk.
