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.

Its exceptional longevity and significant projection, combined with its sweet and woody profile, make it ideal for evening and cooler weather occasions, particularly dates and party settings. While some reviewers wear it to the office with light application, its strength generally makes it less suitable for professional environments.

About

Malbec Gold opens with a fresh, spicy zest of lemon, ginger, and black pepper, quickly transitioning into a rich heart of warm, spicy cinnamon, nutmeg, and smooth leather. The base is where it truly shines, with an opulent blend of earthy patchouli, deep oud, and a smoky frankincense, all sweetened by vanilla. Amberwood provides a luxurious, lingering finish, creating a complex and evolving scent.
