Have you worn Malbec Gold?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Just tried out this Malbec that tempted me to expand my collection; I already have three alongside the original and Magnetic. The opening didn’t quite hit the spot, but on skin, a sweet amber takes over without being cloying, with a barely perceptible vanilla touch and a leather nuance that hasn’t fully settled yet. I detect spicy accords, though instead of warmth, I sense something cool, almost like ice. By the way, the gold has its own olfactory signature here, noticeable as a mineral note. It’s not addictive for me, even though reviews made it seem promising; for now, it’s generically pleasant and doesn’t offer much. I want to believe in the line, but there’s more to explore.

    It’s a woody and slightly sweet fragrance, not cloying, versatile, and casual. Personally, I like it; it has good longevity and projects for about 3 hours without being a beast mode. After checking the notes, it’s the first time I’ve seen a fragrance described as ‘gold,’ wow.

    Undoubtedly an 80% clone of One Million, only this one is more flamboyant. It’s very addictive and lasts quite a while; I wish it projected beyond the first hour, but overall it’s very good for the price.

    Very well described by Ruy. It’s not a copy, but it would be the 1 Million within Malbec due to its sweetness, just watch out that it doesn’t get cloying, but it makes it attractive and addictive with that woody DNA. It’s jovial, outgoing, seductive, and then attention-grabbing. Performance is excellent: it projects well and settles to a moderate level after 2-3 hours; on skin, it easily lasts 9 hours. It accompanies the night and seduction.
