Malbec Black

by Pascal Gaurin

O Boticário Malbec Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Pascal Gaurin. The fragrance opens with Juniper, Lemon, Ginger, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Geranium and Sage, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Cashmeran, and Frankincense.

Our verdict on Malbec Black: Acquired

This one's a proper spicy enigma, constantly compared to Bvlgari Man in Black but confidently carving its own path. Expect a boozy, warm hug that's less uptight and surprisingly long-lasting, though perhaps a tad overhyped by some.

Its strong projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, and the warmth is all wrong for sporty activities. This is a scent for intimate dates and evening wear, with its sophisticated spicy-woody character lending itself well to formal occasions.

About

It kicks off with a sharp, invigorating burst of juniper and zesty ginger, spiced up with cardamom and cinnamon. Soon, a rich, amber warmth develops, blending with the subtle sweetness of vanilla and the deep, earthy tones of patchouli and sandalwood. There's a persistent, almost wine-like woodiness throughout, anchoring the vibrant spice and creating a sensuous, enveloping dry-down.
