2015: the world took its first breath of Malbec Noir O Boticario. A masculine fragrance from the wood and aromatic families. The fragrance was crafted by perfumers Dominique Ropion and Napoleao Bastos. From the Malbec collection; released as eau de cologne.
Produced in Brazil, and you can feel it in every note. Malbec Noir O Boticario unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Malbec Noir is built as a living composition, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of O Boticario is clear from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de Cologne sets the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Fruit, Mineral, Citrus and Spicy. The palette also extends to Green, Floral, Drinks and Ambery. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Aromatic and Wood.
From the first breath you meet sparkling citrus opening notes: Apple, Aquatic accord, Bergamot and Grapefruit.
When the opening settles you meet Black Pepper, Coriander, Lavender, Neroli and Pinot Noir holding a spicy-aromatic direction.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Aquatic and Citrus with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Gourmet, Floral, Fruit and Musc enrich the profile without taking over.
In summary Malbec Noir holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.
