Malbec

Nice to see this brand here, and a surprise too, since most of O Boticario's scents are not properly "perfumes", but "colognes". I remember the first one, the now classic "Styletto", a hit when I was very young. This Malbec was the last scent from Boticário that I`ve tested, and in fact I bought a bottle. I had some reservations about it since Malbec is a hit and many people in Brazil already know it, and because on the paper I thought it was a little strong; I also read this opinion (about being strong) in some brazilian foruns. But, different from other scents, Malbec smells better on my skin than on paper, and, at least for me, is not strong (in the sense of being overwhelming). I don't know if you could say that is a "wow" type of scent, but makes its mark since sillage is pretty good, and longevity too, by that matter. Feels fresh, no doubt it is masculine, and I find it pleasant. A shower wouldn't make it disappear so easily, but I love the reminiscent smell that rests. A scent with a wine note? Well, yes, I think I can identify that note. And I like, as I like the bottle, and as I like wines ":-). Since I`m still not an expert, I don`t imagine another scent to compare to it right now, and give a better picture about Malbec. Great!

It was a blind buy and a successful one. I love its scent profile, gorgeous, masculine and versatile. Its fresh green citrusy-fruity vibe was just pretty and doesn't feel generic at all. Its like you stepped out of the shower room, fresh and clean. However, the dry down seem to give off this dried shaving cream vibe that may turn off some noses but I can deal with it. If ever, that's the only downside. Most of the notes are familiar and yet the scent is still unique to my nose. The performance and projection is pretty decent on my skin and the price point is very reasonable. I am glad to have my first original Brazilian men's frag in my collection and I cant be any happier. I will definitely check out the Malbec Noir next round. 9.5 /10 for me. “Let's spread the scents of peace and kindness. The two most beautiful fragrance in the world that will cost you nothing and will get you a totally different kind of compliments” 🙏

Some guy at work said it smelled horrible, that was after one spray and 7 hours, said it smelled like bo, he said what the hell is that smell??? Malbec e muito forte, totalmente animal, mas depois muito tempo cheiro estranho, but I like, not the bo part but the creamy opening that it starts out with, something dirty, but delicious....

There is a liquid soap with grape seeds that is sold in the O Boticario stores that I find pretty enjoyable. I still love the perfume itself (more than Barolo by the way), but man... I smell it EVERYWHERE!

Love it! Very yummy! I ́ll give one to my boyfriend. Uptade: It's like Barolo indeed, but I think Barolo is safer and this one is more edgy. Barolo: Woods. Malbec: Spices.
