By the editors · 2 min readNamed after the dark Argentine grape, Malbec Gold from O Boticário deepens the house's popular Malbec line with an oud-and-resin-heavy oriental statement. Apple and black pepper open with a familiar contemporary masculine gesture — clean, slightly spiced — before leather, lavender, and orange blossom arrive in the heart and raise the temperature. Nutmeg threads through, adding spice that reinforces the black pepper above rather than introducing something new.
The base is where the Gold distinction earns its name: amberwood, frankincense, labdanum, vanilla, cashmeran, patchouli, and agarwood stack into a dense, resinous close that projects generously and wears through the evening. This is an occasion fragrance — the kind of dark oriental that rewards a wool coat and low lighting.
