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 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

Malbec Black Legend opens with an invigorating burst of spicy ginger and cardamom, brightened by a hint of grapefruit. As it settles, the heart reveals a rich, earthy cypriol and herbaceous sage, draped over a smooth leather accord. The base grounds the fragrance in warm, resinous benzoin and frankincense, softened by creamy sandalwood, creating a dark, refined aura.
