O Boticário Malbec Bleu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Alberto Morillas and Adilson Rato. Malbec Bleu opens with Aquozone, Bergamot, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Lavender, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. O Boticário's Malbec Bleu carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A solid freshie for those who enjoy a clean, shower-gel vibe, though its synthetic edge and moderate performance make it a divisive choice. Don't expect a revelation, but it does the job for everyday wear.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Imagine a brisk, aquatic opening with a clear, almost effervescent aquozone alongside a zesty squeeze of bergamot and a hint of spicy ginger. This quickly transitions to a fresh, clean heart dominated by aromatic lavender and herbaceous sage, balanced by an earthy touch of patchouli. The drydown settles into a comforting base of smooth sandalwood, mossy oakmoss, and a warm amber, giving it a classic masculine finish without being overly heavy.
