O Boticário Malbec X is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Christophe Raynaud. Malbec X opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, Yuzu, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Cardamom and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Suede, Leather, Amber, and Patchouli. O Boticário's Malbec X carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously seductive, amber-leather bomb that smells way more expensive than it is. While some find the opening a bit synthetic or rubbery, most agree it's a confident, virile scent perfect for making an impression.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Malbec X is far too dominant for an office setting and its strong, warm character doesn't suit sport. Its bold leather and amber make it ideal for dates and evening formal events, especially in cooler weather, where its substantial sillage and longevity can truly shine.

About

Opens with a fleeting flash of bright citrus and violet leaf, quickly ushering in a warm, spicy heart of cardamom and benzoin. The drydown unveils a rich, smooth tapestry of leather and suede, deepened by earthy patchouli and a potent amber that lingers with a subtle, resinous sweetness. It's a heady, deep scent with a distinct masculine edge.
