Our verdict on Malbec Noir: Acquired

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.

Despite its 'Noir' name, many find this fragrance fresh and versatile enough for office wear, or even daytime, due to its prominent fruity and aromatic elements. Its sensual, boozy undertones make it particularly well-suited for dates and evening casual events, though its bold character might be too strong for formal settings or sports.

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.
