O Boticário Duo Malbec Nebbiolo is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Napoleão Bastos. Duo Malbec Nebbiolo opens with Fruity Notes, Spicy Notes, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Oak, Chocolate, Rose, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. O Boticário's Duo Malbec Nebbiolo carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A fruity, woody scent where blackcurrant and chocolate sit among oak and cedar, fitting for a name taken from wine grapes. Rich and a bit unusual for a men's scent, it suits anyone who likes a darker, sweeter fruit.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

The heart is the most distinctive part: oak, blackcurrant and chocolate, joined by rose, iris and geranium.
