This Smell Is New One, Must All Are Trying This Fragrance 'O Boticario Malbec'.

I've never reviewed a fragrance from this brand before. The company is known by the moniker O Boticario. It has been around for a while, and in this piece, I'll review their Malbec fragrance. Please read on for my comments on the scent, which I'm happy to share with you.

If you are a fan of perfumes, you should know this before I start my review of Malbec by O Boticario and tell you everything there is to know about this scent, including how it smells, comparisons, and performance.

This perfume smells distinctive. The brand is called O Boticario, which translates to Pharmacy in old Portuguese, and I know that many of my Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking friends have not only smelt this one but also reviewed it.

If You're Looking for a Mature and Boozy Scent, It's Worth Trying

The first thing that came to mind when I heard the name of our fragrance, Malbec, was "boozy fragrance," am I right? You probably picture the boozy, acidic, spicy aroma that many various kinds of wine have when you think of red wine.

Naturally, when I read the ingredient list, I found that there wasn't necessarily any alcohol present—at least, not that I could see. However, there are many other wonderful elements that I adore, such as cedarwood, black pepper, lime, patchouli, sandalwood, and oakmoss. The presentation seems to be taking a darker turn, so let's take a quick look at it.

I therefore immediately think of the spice, which is quite potent, when I think of this aroma. Black pepper is listed as a hot ingredient, which I entirely understand, in my opinion, as it is so obvious. It's not like the black pepper in a Hermes fragrance like poison or con, which makes you sneeze.

I think the combination of it with certain woodsy components, like patchouli, as well as this creamy sandalwood ingredient in the base is the reason it is actually quite moderate in this fragrance. It contains cedarwood, which I find to have a peppery fragrance. Therefore, I think the cedar and pepper mix is enhancing the spicy kick, if you will. But it also smells earthy and ambery. The mossy elements, in my opinion, overpower the amber because as soon as I smelled it, I thought, "Okay, this smells classy, this smells resolute."

Although it smells like something that would have been quite popular in the 1970s or 1980s, there is just enough of a modern touch to temporarily divert your attention. You won't get the idea that this is just an 80s powerhouse type of fragrance because the oak moss is noticeable but still kind of acts as an accent. The cedarwood, which is still present and audible, and any other components of this perfume are not silenced or muffled by it.

At first, there's a hint of freshness, but it quickly wears off. After that, you get something a little cozier and warmer. And, of course, once those ambery facets in the base start to emerge, which, in my opinion, are beautifully balanced by the creamy sweetness of the sandalwood. I think you'll enjoy this scent if you're looking for an ambery one.

It takes a while for that accord to become apparent; at first, it's a little peppery, but eventually, it settles down to something that feels really beautiful and warm on the skin.

My Expertise For This Fragrance Right Now

If you like the earthier, mossier, or greener long-lasting scents that were popular in the 1970s and 1980s but want something with a more modern or contemporary twist, as well as something that smells a little ambery, boozy, and perhaps a little sweet, though the sweetness is more of an afterthought in this scent. I strongly advise that you try Malbec wine.

A different wine from the establishment, Malbec Blue, piques my interest as well. This fragrance is warm and lasts a long time on my skin, which is why I perceive it to be more of a summer-oriented aroma. I'm saving it and may write a review on it later, possibly when it's more seasonally appropriate. This kind of perfume is one I could see myself donning at this time of year. It does have a mature feel to it without, of course, smelling antiquated. One aroma that I think smells outdated is polo, for instance. Do not misunderstand me; I adore Polo and even have the newest flanker from the previous season.

But I think there are a few scents that will definitely take you back to the '70s and '80s. Malbec is a must-try if you prefer green, elegant, gentlemanly fragrances because that isn't the case, yet you will get a strong mossy sense in the dry down. Remember that it begins peppery and a little lemony, but that only lasts for a few periods before settling down to that amber.

Let me sum up the situation with my overall opinion.

Therefore, the distinctiveness and overall scent come first. This fragrance is distinctive in that it combines notes that I have definitely detected in other scents, but I haven't exactly detected that sort of boozy quality in other scents. The reason I say this is because I believe that many of the other perfumes in my collection, especially the niche offerings, don't have that kind of boozy quality.

I usually sip whisky and rum. I try to incorporate brandy's specific alcoholic accords into a range of perfumes, such as Killian Paris, Rojo, and Laffan. But for a wine scent, I have a Tsuga perfume called "Wine and Chocolate" that I enjoy. Although I have tried other scents that make me think of wine, that is probably the closest I've come. Given everything I just mentioned, they don't have a wine accord per se, but they do have a distinctive scent, and I believe the overall scent will work really well in a professional setting on someone who is a little more mature and set in their ways.

In terms of the longevity of 10+ hours on my skin projection, it was amazing for the first hour of application as compared to like a high school child or something like that. Maybe during the first 45 minutes, it did radiate beyond arm's length. It began to inch closer to the skin at five hours. At the eight-hour point, it had a cutaneous perfume; by the ten-hour mark, it had almost all disappeared, or you could apply a fresh fragrance. if you intend to stay up until that time.

I wouldn't wear it in the summer because I think this one's adaptability is great for the cooler months. As I said, I could see this one working on someone a little bit older—maybe not a high school or early college student—but the scent is personal, so these are just ideas. Once more, only consider whether or not you'll wear it or buy it if you enjoy the way it smells. And I think this one seems more professional, whereas the Bleu variant might look more casual.

Regarding the packaging, I enjoy how the bottle feels and looks. The faux leather cap, which has a somewhat leathery feel to it, clicks into place smoothly.

Finally, if you enjoy cedarwood, oakmoss, spice, amber, or the resolute character of many older perfumes from the 1970s and 1980s but want something with a contemporary edge, I highly recommend trying this scent. I hope you enjoy it. Since it's been around for so long, chances are you've already tried it, but since this brand has previously been highly recommended to me, I'm delighted I finally got around to reviewing it.

Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes the discussion. I sincerely hope you learned something from this piece. It was my evaluation of the Malbec by O Boticario.
