Malbec by O Boticário

I don’t get why people praise this. It has no projection, doesn’t last, and the scent is weak. I bought it on recommendation and it’s the worst money I’ve spent. I wore it for days hoping it would improve, but nothing changed: no sillage, no longevity. It just sticks to the skin, which doesn’t convince me. I also don’t like the aroma. I expected more from this Malbec and I’m left with a brutal disappointment.

Starting with the original that launched the Malbec line, there are already many derivatives. This one is only for cold weather, under 22 degrees. I have one nearly empty and a new one I tested two months ago that only smelled of dry wood with zero performance. But yesterday I tested it again and ufffff, what a change! I’ve never had Amouage’s Interlude, but with a single spray on my wrist, it lasted two days until the shower. I don’t wear it in this heat, but if another fragrance has this performance, bless it! I have the Gold and the Absoluto, and they both perform well, though the Absoluto is more gourmand and refined. If you want something woody, ambered, and classy for cold days, you can’t go wrong. It pairs well with semi-formal attire. Don’t buy it blindly; it’s a scent that people compliment often, but it’s not generic. If you like it, spray it on generously, let it sit in the closet for a month, and you won’t believe the result.

This is my first impression. I just received an O Boticário order with Malbec and its flanker Gold. Like a kid on their birthday, I opened the packaging of the first one, tested it, and the feeling was very gratifying, growing and making me want to go deeper. First impressions: a soft but not weak juice, generous and kind; it inspires class and cleanliness, but this is just the beginning. I need to let it mature, blend with me, and that generates the desire to discover more. I also received samples of other fragrances, including Floratta flankers for my wife, one of them Flores Secretas, which opened our eyes to how pleasant it is. Another sample of 214 African Sunrise came through, interesting; I must explore it. I really liked the bottle design and the snowy packaging. It’s been a pleasant discovery of O Boticário; I notice a distinctive particularity in their fragrances. Personally, it seems very likely I’ll subscribe to the brand; there’s quality and service here. I’ll stay in touch. Chao!

I expected something greener, fresher, and woodier… but I was surprised that it smells heavily of incense, pepper, and cassis (from start to finish). I also detect sandalwood, moss, and a touch of benzoin. Its trail and sillage are quite good. Plus, it’s one of those scents you instantly identify as ‘masculine’… its incense isn’t refined. It reminds me of some lovable male characters from Benedito Ruy Barbosa’s novels.
