Malbrum Tigre du Bengale is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Delphine Thierry. Tigre du Bengale opens with Cardamom and Juniper, settles into a heart of Labdanum and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Tobacco, and Castoreum. Malbrum's Tigre du Bengale carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a wild ride. Tigre du Bengale is a complex, polarising scent with an opening that screams "cola!" to some, then settles into a deep, animalic warmth. Definitely not for a blind buy, but its devotees say it's an unparalleled, sexy beast. Proceed with caution and enjoy the chaos.

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.

As an extrait with strong, animalic, and resinous accords, Tigre du Bengale has significant projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting. Its dark, sensual character and 'aphrodisiac' quality are perfect for evenings and dates, while its bold nature also suits formal events where a statement is desired.

About

Opens with a striking kick of juniper and cardamom, with many detecting an unexpected fizzy cola note. This quickly softens into a rich, resinous heart of labdanum and myrrh that feels both ancient and intriguing. The dry down is a deeply sensual blend of animalic castoreum, earthy patchouli, and warm, caramel-kissed tobacco, creating a luxurious and slightly wild trail.
