Malbec Play O Boticario, that first saw the light of day in 2017, sits firmly in the category of a masculine fragrance, rooted in the spicy and wood families. Malbec Play is part of the Malbec collection. Concentration — eau de cologne: exactly what it needs to be.
Produced in Brazil, and you can feel it in every note. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
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 Play is shaped as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of O Boticario is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de Cologne sets the depth and body this composition needs.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Citrus and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Musc, Wood, Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.
At the opening of the pyramid you detect radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Bergamot, Black Pepper, Cardamom and Citrus accord.
In the heart you sense Lavender, Patchouli, Red Wine and White Cedar keeping a spicy-woody direction.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Fruit and Green. The palette also extends to Wood, Drinks, Ambery and Earthy / Mossy.
Overall Malbec Play reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged on skin.
