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, Leather, Tobacco, and Artemisia. 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.
