Oud Malaki

by Dominique Ropion

Chopard Oud Malaki is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Dominique Ropion. Oud Malaki opens with Lavender, Artemisia, and Grapefruit, and settles into a heart of Leather, Spicy, and Tobacco. Chopard's Oud Malaki carries an Acquired verdict, a tobacco-led wear.

Chopard's Oud Malaki is a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it kind of oud, particularly for those expecting a 'true' Middle Eastern profile. It's a surprisingly good entry point for oud beginners, with a smoother, more Westernised touch that many appreciate for its excellent value.

About

Opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of grapefruit and lavender, quickly giving way to a smooth, warm heart of leathery tobacco interlaced with a gentle spiciness. The dry down unveils a soft, approachable oud and dark woods, rounded out with a subtle sweetness that adds depth without becoming cloying. Hints of amber and almost a honeyed note emerge, adding to its opulent character.
