Obvious Malfa Walls is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Julien Rasquinet. Malfa Walls opens with Orange, Mandarin, Blackcurrant, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Frankincense and Sage, and dries down to a base of Leather, Oud, and Juniper. Obvious's Malfa Walls carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet undeniably powerful, Malfa Walls is a beastmode leather and oud bomb that's either a sophisticated scent for experienced noses or a suffocating mess. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser here.

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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its long-lasting and strong sillage, combined with the heavy leather and oud notes, make it unsuitable for office wear. However, its dark, sophisticated character and beastmode performance are perfect for evening dates and formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Malfa Walls opens with a fleeting, juicy burst of blackcurrant and zesty orange, quickly giving way to an aromatic heart of frankincense and earthy sage. The real star, however, is the dark, dry leather, fused with a refined oud and the subtly resinous bite of juniper. It's a complex, smoky, and almost sooty scent that develops into a nuanced, herbaceous depth as it settles.
