Cedar Malaki

Been looking around and KIVing expensive bottles of this until I got a tester for $65 SGD. Great value I may say. Cedar Malaki opens with a strong cypress and wormwood but it quickly mellows down to a very acceptable opening and with the cedar and distinctive Oud Malaki dna. A very wearable Malaki flanker and an easier wear than the Black incense. I have the og, BI, Rose, Amber and now the Cedar. Still thinking about adding the Musk and haven't seen the new Leather anywhere yet (didn't check out Chopard's boutique also). After the opening, the prominent and main cedar notes, Middle eastern cedar it seems stays and hang around with the og dna. Projection seems pretty normal and not strong but there's a silage and trail around where you go and walked, decent silage. There are also similarities to Black Incense in the later stages of the scent development with the leathery Ambery earthy woody aromatics forming the remaining scent on skin with the cedar and the tonka giving this balance with the slight sweetness. A nicer easier wear on the Oud Malaki dna for anyone who likes cedar. Better than the ratings definitely. Prefer this to BI actually.

#1238 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This is a very approachable woody scent. It is to cedar what Gucci "Rush" is to sandalwood. I have two scents on the shelf very much like this: Nishane "B-612" and Mercedes-Benz "Private Man." The B612 is more than twice the price of this, but a little more well-rounded. The "Private Man" about $15 less than the price of this but doesn't perform quite as well. I think this is first rate business wear that easily makes it to lunch and is inoffensive in any setting. Not bad at all for $50. I consider it a successful blind buy. I have Leather Malaki on the way, but at this point I would rank the series as follows: Black Incense Malaki Oud Malaki Cedar Malaki Amber Malaki I have no plans to evaluate Musk Malaki. I gave up on primarily musk scents back when Jovan Musk and Coty Musk were still popular.

Nose Note #950 Yep, this smells more "Leather Malaki" than Leather Malaki itself. Not about cedar accord at all. This is indeed close to Black Incense and Oud Malaki, so as a flanker this fits in wells - it's 100% for people that only wear, say, Black Incense Malaki and don't want to buy ANYTHING different, but are ready to try something a little different, so they collect the whole line. I'd say this is more palatable than Oud Malaki. I don't like the Halfeti DNA. Here's the same Halfeti DNA, but going into Gucci Guilty Absolute direction. Smelling it upclose fries my nose badly - and this rarely happens. Never with Xerjoff, Amouage, the strongest ones, you name it... Men only. All these Malaki basically share equal performance. 7.3/10, no cedar at all

I love this. Picked it up on a pretty steep discount and zero complaints. Opens with the rounded spice of cardamom mixed with a rindy grapefruit, within seconds a really nice suede esque creamy element comes in, which I am assuming is the labdanum/tonka. The Cedar and patchouli give a really nice slight smokiness and robust wood accord. Great aromatic lift from the cypress and lavender as well I think this is extremely well done and well worth the cost you can find at discounters. The only thing I will say is that if you are looking for something extremely dry and woody/spicy, dont buy. This will have too much of a lift from grapefruit and aromatics for you more than likely. Longevity and projection both well above average for me

Wonderful scent. This absolutely carries the Morillas DNA in the opening: on my skin it starts with a pomelo/lavender accord, then the Tonka kicks in during the mid. On dry down you get that cedar and pachouli note. For the price (found this at 50$) it was an incredible pickup; in fact the whole Malaki line can be found at an absolute steal from most discounters and is worth every penny. Perfect signature scent, and I would bet it would perfect year round scent (although may not have the gusto to cut through a very cold winter). Super safe blind buy especially at the sub 60 price.

Not as Cypressy, cedary, or cyprioly I expected. Smells really good and definitely has same vibes as Black Incense Malaki and somewhat Oud Malaki. I definitely get some incense off of my skin. Late in dry down, it's hard to tell the difference between this and Black Incense Malaki. Longevity is good but it stays close to skin. Like a woodier and quoter version of BIM. I would say if you have BIM, you may not really need this. I perssonally prefer this though a bit over BIM because it is not as loud and I can wear it more often.

This has dark style Alberto Morillas written all over. Deep, rich, a little bit animalic, but wonderfully done. It shares quite a bit of similarities with Incense Malaki, but with added earthiness and cut down smokiness. For me it dries down to a nice leather, somewhat similar to Guerlain Cuir, but toned down. The longevity and overall performance are excellent, just like the rest of the line. Overall i'm pretty happy with it.... oh and of course, how can i forget the beautiful green bottle.

After finishing half of burberry hero EDP , i discovered that i don't like woody smell except if its cedar , and i was right i really enjoy this fragnance , a nice citrusy and aromatic opining that lay the way for the green cedar smell that is amazing to my nose , if you enjoy cedar then definitely get this one especially from discounters , for 60$ its a bargin and honestly even for double the price i will never conplain 9/10 smell

A beautiful lebanese cedar, with the Oud Malaki DNA. It has that metallic / leathery note that the Malaki’s have, but the cedar really stands out. Very woody, very sharp, great for all seasons in my opinion. It smells very luxurious, like a brand new bentley. Another well done fragrance from the house of Chopard. Lasted all day on my skin.

Super woody, hints of fresh. I really like the opening of this fragrance and personally I find the bottle quite sexy. You could wear this with a suit, turtleneck, or a business casual outfit. Networking? Wanna smell fresh but wayyy more mature? This is the pick.

Opening starts off a little rough, like earwaxy, but it dries down in about 20min to a very sophisticated woody scent, this is excellent for more formal occasions, and lasts really well too.

Malaki line up is sophisticated. As much as you would expect from a luxury jeweler. It all starts with heavy faceted glass bottle and similarly massive cap. They both show the intention. The scent opens herbal and woody green in an elegant way. I would not call it sparkling as grapefruit. Rather green forest in a spring time. However, it diminishes after 15-20 minutes. Later the composition gets linear but in a most anticipated way. You feel the core, you want it to stay and it stays. Around 4-5 hours on my dry winter skin. For me it's a great choice for colder days. It perfectly blends with your clothes. It blends with your skin. I would call it a skin scent in a bit of opulent way. Enveloping, classy, it makes you feel confident and kind but not overwhelms the environment. This is a cedar but dry woody with lots of tonka. Maybe with bits of smokiness of labdanum. Can't feel the patchouli so don't worry if you try to avoid this note. Surely you can wear it while shopping in Chopard. You know how much your're worth it but don't have to show it. Speaking of a worth. It's worth trying and definitely worth buying with this price level. It feels much more expensive as some highly priced niche brands. PS before you decide, try Amber Malaki and Black Incense, they are even better. You feel the quality. Though opulent as some Arabian fragrances they are filled with the quality instead of molecule fillers of that other ones.

leather, leather and leather. if you smell something else than leather you are lying. its very hard, smoky and leathery, very masculine, similar to gucci guilty and qae'ed al shabaab. if you don't like leather and smoke this is not for you. this fragrance has nothing to do with freshness. if you wanna smell like a guy who wears leather jackets, drives motorbike and wears big black boots, that's it, but otherwise absolutely not. BUT ME PERSONALLY as an Acqua di Giò line lover, I absolutely love this perfume even tho I didn't expect this type of smell when I was ordering it. this perfume is high quality, it lasts about 6-8hours on skin, on clothes i'd say 8-10hours, very good projection, very heavy perfume - some people might have migraine if you spray more than 2 sprays. I'll probably buy another bottle of it, I really enjoy the smell.

So far, this is the best of the bunch. It’s bright and fresh and clean. Great for any cooler weather type of day. Not overly engaging, but pleasant for a high school mentality. Honestly, if you’re an adult and thinking about buying a Malaki, save and double-up your money and buy something else. This whole line is kind of disappointing if you aren’t young or new to perfume.

This is a beautiful smooth fresh woody scent. A light fresh citrus in the opening and mid is balanced really great with the aromatic accords. but its all about the wood and some fresh spices. In the drydown i get a bit of sweetness which helps the scent staying fresh and airy. So good value. longevity and sillage are moderate. All in all a well done job

The top note is a harmonious blend of cypress and tonka. After about 30 minutes to an hour, the cedar gradually appears. Not much has changed since then. Overall impression: formal and noble. The fragrance lasts very long and the scent of this perfume is still on my clothes after a day.

smooth woody and aromatic notes. Dense and rich, but still fresh. I get some sweetness and fruity accords as well. I think it actually works best when the temperature starts heating up. For the price from discounters this is a solid

I think, it's a very heavy dark fragrance. I like it but it doesn't make me say wow, Friends told me it's very strong and woody, It's not an easy fragrance to wear.

I think it is a strong perfume, very woody and aromatic. I don't think it is an easy fragrance, but it is a good one, not great.

I like it. Very masculine scent. Smoky and woody.
