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

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.

Its rich, woody-spicy profile and generally moderate projection make it suitable for evenings and formal events. While some find it office-safe due to its toned-down oud, others note its assertiveness means it's best reserved for less restrictive environments.

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.
