O Boticário Malbec Flame is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020, created by Isaac Sinclair and Fanny Grau. Malbec Flame opens with Bergamot, Nutmeg, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Gardenia, Pepper, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Grape, Leather, Cedar, and Patchouli. O Boticário's Malbec Flame carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A fascinating, divisive scent profile that's either a hidden gem or an ashtray, depending on who you ask. Best for cooler climes to let its complex layers shine.

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.

With its strong sillage and long-lasting performance, this scent is a bit much for the office. It excels as a date night fragrance, as highlighted by reviewers, due to its sweet, peppery, and leathery charm. Its deep, warm notes also make it suitable for formal evening events.

About

Opening with a bold burst of bergamot and a spicy nutmeg and thyme kick, Malbec Flame quickly transitions into a heart of peppery gardenia and aromatic rosemary. The true intrigue lies in its deep, complex base, where a rich grape note intertwines with robust leather, earthy patchouli, and creamy vanilla, all grounded by a smoky guaiac wood and nutty hazelnut finish. It's a journey from fresh spice to a dark, fruity, and woody embrace.
