Xerjoff Malesia is a Parfum launched in 2017, created by Chris Maurice. Malesia opens with Lily Of The Valley, settles into a heart of Balsam and Amber, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oud, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Xerjoff's Malesia carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This one's a wild ride. Malesia is a polarising oud, kicking off with a barnyard funk that quickly mellows into a surprisingly smooth, sweet, and complex scent. Definitely not for the shy, but a real treat for those who appreciate a challenging, artistic oud.

Given its strong, often challenging opening and luxurious, deep character, Malesia is best suited for formal and intimate evening occasions. It's too potent for the office and not really a casual or sport scent.

About

Malesia opens with a distinctive animalic punch of oud, quickly joined by the delicate freshness of lily of the valley. As it settles, a sweet, resinous warmth emerges, with amber and rich balsams wrapping around the deeper, intriguing oud. The dry-down is a creamy blend of vanilla, tonka, and musky undertones, creating a smooth, velvety finish that hints at exotic lands.
