O Boticário Malbec Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Dominique Ropion, Claire Liégent, and Napoleão Bastos. Malbec Noir opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Wine Grape, Red Wine, Neroli, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Gin, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. O Boticário's Malbec Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This Malbec is a divisive one: some find it a unique, original fresh-fruity twist on the woody-wine genre, others find it boring and derivative. It's not as dark as the 'Noir' in its name suggests, making it surprisingly versatile.

About

Opens with an exhilarating burst of juicy pineapple and crisp apple, softened by shimmering rainwater notes and a medley of citrus. The heart introduces a distinctive red wine accord, intertwined with aromatic lavender and a subtle peppery kick. The drydown settles into a sensual blend of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli, underpinned by a boozy gin nuance and warm amber.
