Cedar Malaki blends cedar and wormwood into a fusion that feels like softened wood with an almost boozy touch. The green is very vibrant thanks to the cypriol and cypress, while the heather, lavender, and cardamomo only leave timid traces. It closes with that sweet tonka that has become mandatory. It smells powerful and lasts a long time, but I have a gripe: the base sounds plastic to me, like modelling clay. Although the rest is high quality, that detail jars with me and stops it from being perfect.
Another gem with the Alberto Morillas seal, recognisable in every note it releases. Perfect.
Another gem signed by Alberto Morillas, with notes that identify him instantly. It is perfect.
Although Alberto Morillas is not my favourite perfumer, he has a gift for blending in with each house’s style. Here he camouflages with Dominique Ropion in ‘Oud Malaki’ and updates it: it is greener, very woody, and modern. It is a fougère with modern cardamomo, a greenery sweetened by cedar and amber, and a mature floral lavender. It opens green and bright with an absinthe accord, then becomes boozy while the cypress adds the wood. The grapefruit helps with vibration, though it is not very noticeable. Nothing stands out above the rest; the patchouli and amber of the saga are recognisable, but the green and spicy opening accords make the difference. If you like fragrances like Penhaligon’s, this Cedar Malaki will fascinate you.
Alberto Morillas is not my favourite perfumer, but how he blends with other styles is exquisite. Here he camouflages with Ropion’s style in ‘Oud Malaki’, a version that is greener, woodier, and more modern. It is a fougère with modern cardamomo, greenery sweetened by cedar and amber, plus mature floral lavender. The opening is green and bright with an absinthe accord, the development is boozy with woody cypress. The grapefruit helps with vibrant first minutes. Nothing is put before anything; the patchouli and amber of the Malaki saga are there, but the green and spicy opening accords make the difference. If you like Desert Falcon Deluxe, Halfeti, and Mr Sam by Penhaligon’s, this Cedar Malaki by Morillas will fascinate you. Best wishes.
It smells like shoe polish; I do not know how Morillas managed that ‘camphorated-alcohol’ accord, surely due to the absinthe and cypriol over dark cedars. Furthermore, it starts with a fruity peach note that blends with the cedar. It lasts an enormous amount of time and is top-tier quality.
