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.

It's very good, it has a scent that really reminds of wine. Unfortunately, now it became so popular... you can smell men wearing it everywhere.

Muito forte. Um perfume marcante. Pena que hoje em dia se sente com tanta facilidade entre as pessoas. Cheiro de homem de bom gosto

It’s just perfect i like it so much, not mention the good price

O Malbec atende perfeitamente a proposta que oferece: um perfume que se assemelha a um vinho (além de ter Alcool Vinilico na sua composição) Malbec, inicia-se bem fresco- algo como casca de laranja, especiarias picantes,folhas bem aromáticas e um cedro de barricas. Logo evolui como um bom vinho tinto, para um aroma mais adocicado- como frutas secas (ameixa seca) e um leve toque de baunilha. E permanece assim: amadeirado, adocicado e especiado até o fim. Ele fixa por 6-7 horas, mesmo em dias frios e a noite não aumenta muito a fixação. Quanto a projeção ele projeta bem por 2 horas no calor (somente), mas depois fica rente a pele. Perfume digno do sucesso que faz no Brasil. Gostei, mas não compraria novamente. Fragrância/Fragrance: 7/10 Fixação/ Longevity: 7/10 Projeção/ Sillage: 7/10 Versatilidade/ Versatillity: 7/10 Try/ Buy/ Pass: Try Malbec meets perfectly the proposal of the frangrance: a perfume that is very similiar a wine (It has Wine alcool in its composition). Malbec starts fresh like an orange peel, spices, aromatic leaves and a cedar barrels. After this, it looks like a good red wine: sweeter aroma-like dried fruit (prunes) and a touch of vanilla. And remains: woody, spicy and sweet until the end. Malbes has a longevity of 6 hours, even on cold days and at night does not increase much teh longevity. The Sillage is good on the firsts 2 hours, then it gets close to the skin. Perfume that deserve the success that's doing in Brazil. I Liked it, but I won't buy it again.

From vmzaneti's review below: "Malbec is quite possibly the most overworn fragrance here in Brazil for the past years. It's maybe a good option to people who live in another country though, because despite of its popularity, it's very original compared to other modern fragrances". Well, I am from the US and I'm a woman so this is very unique for me indeed. I prefer it to O Boticario's offerings for women. I was introduced to this perfume house though a Brazilian salon in my small southern US town and I have tested it every time I frequent that salon. I'm ready for a full bottle. Malbec is full of all the notes I adore. It definitely comes across as masculine as opposed to unisex but in this cold February weather the sweetness of vanilla (benzoin) and the spicy woodiness take center stage over the boozy citrus opening and it all just works on my skin. Projection is monstrous. I think I overdid it in the salon tonight. Even in cold weather a light hand is best when applying Malbec. Edit: This layers beautifully with Prada Amber. It becomes a little richer and a little more feminine.

I was exposed to this fragance by a Brazilian exchange student who lived in my house, my sister and I would swoon when he came out of the shower smelling so good, my sister was obsessed so she finally asked him and he told her the name, after a long search I found it, I wanted it for my husband and even though the seller tried to convince me to buy Malbec Noir, I assume because it was more expensive, I wanted the manly cocktail I remembered so I got it. I haven't given it to him yet because it's summer and I feel this is definitely a winter/autumn fragance but I sprayed it on my hand around 30 minutes ago and it's oh so good, I smell dried cedar mostly but I can't ignore the shy wine coming through, makes me think about drinking wine in a forest lol... I have the feeling my hubby won't like it because he's a young man in his early 20's and loves fresh adn youthful fragances, I'll update when he receives it :p

É um perfume clássico e com uma qualidade inquestionável seu toque amadeirado esfumaçado com o vinho das uvas malbec, muito bom definitivamente um perfume de homen porém a saturação dele no Brasil acaba causando muitas controversas principalmente em dias quentes as 7:00 da manhã, rocomendo a compra para quem gosta de perfumes com cheiro um pouco alcoólico, Definitivamente foi o pioneiro pra linha mais famosa da oboticario dando surgimento a outros perfumes da linha Malbec como o ícone, Gold, magnétic e etc. Definitivamente um clássico. Custo benefício: 6/10 Cheiro: 8/10 Projeção: 7/10 Elogios: 6 elogios Grande parte dos elogios foram de garotas da minha escola elas dizem que o cheiro do do vinho com musgo de carvalho é oq mais chama atenção nesse perfume

Sou uma pessoa apaixonada por amadeirados, por esse motivo acabei comprando o malbec. Primeiramente, ele é um perfume famoso demais pra pouca coisa. Não digo que ele é horrivel, mas ele é básico. Sua projeção deixa a desejar depois de um tempinho, mas sua fixação é interessante. Mesmo dps de umas 6h eu ainda conseguia sentir o cheiro dele na minha pele. Ele não tem personalidade, não é interessante, mas tbm não é ruim. Eu diria que é ok, no máximo.

Very enjoyable, the smell of the Brazilian man that wears one cologne for life. Malbec, the classic one here, is such an iconic scent that brings so many good memories from my adolescence and time with friends when we were all single. Perfect for experimenting something that smells niche, unless you're Brazilian. This is unique anywhere else in the world and a must try for woodsy alcoholic fragrances fans.

Um dos melhores perfumes brasileiros até o momento. Compete de igual para igual com os importados famosos, diferentemente do resto da linha Boticário, que é mais genérica, mais simples. No meu caso, o Malbec fica com um cheiro levemente adocicado, muito agradável, com um toque de cheiro de vinho. Projeção e longevidade são boas.

Great for the office! Woody, strong, manly, a confident man wearing tie and suit. Only thing that upsets me a little bit: has a sweetness that doesn't match the concept. If it was a wine, I wouldn't drink it. Still a good one, though.

I like it but not impressed.This is woody and peppery.Not to be bought blindly as the pepper note can be off-putting because it feels prominent.Very good quality for an edt, yielding more than 8 hours with moderate sillage.

Meu marido teve este perfume, quando ele passava o cheiro ficava dentro de casa por muito tempo. Malbec é um dos melhores fragancia de O Boticario, o poder de duração é ótimo.

Embora seja muito forte é um ótimo perfume. Infelizmente você não se torna nem um pouco "especial" ao usa-lo, já que todo mundo conhece e usa-o.

It's not my favorite, but I like its essence!
