Our verdict on MALVS: Statement

This one's a divisive, dark amber. Some reckon it's a mysterious, sensual masterpiece with temple vibes, while others find it a cloying, dated mess. Definitely one to try before you commit, as it pushes strong opinions.

About

MALVS opens with a bright, smoky frankincense and a whisper of apple, quickly deepening into a rich, balsamic heart. Myrrh, cedar, and amber create a warm, resinous core, evoking ancient wood and sacred spaces. The dry-down layers guaiac wood and sandalwood with a hint of vanilla and musk, leaving a soft yet enduring warmth that is both complex and comforting.
