Malbrum Psychotrope is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Delphine Thierry. Psychotrope opens with Allspice, Cypress, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Balsam, Saffron, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Ambergris, and Styrax. Malbrum's Psychotrope carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a wild card, mates. Some reckon it's a 'hot body in a bottle' with a uniquely skanky depth, while others smell burnt caramel and 'dirty little fingers'. Psychotrope is definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit to this divisive beast.

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

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

Psychotrope opens with a brisk, peppered cypress, swiftly moving into a rich heart of warm balsam and smoky incense, spiced with saffron. The base is an animalic ambergris affair with creamy sandalwood and a resinous kick from styrax and cedar. It's a sweet, woody, and at times surprisingly skanky scent that's full of twists and turns.
