  I expected something greener, fresher, and more woody… but I was surprised by the heavy incense, pepper, and cassis (from start to finish). I also detect sandalwood, moss, and a touch of benzoin. Its trail and longevity are quite good. Plus, it’s one of those fragrances you quickly identify as ‘masculine’… its incense isn’t refined. It reminds me of some of the lovable male characters in Benedito Ruy Barbosa’s novels.

  I agree with the user Azuriita; this fragrance leans more towards incense and opaque notes. I’m concerned about its longevity compared to Coffee Man, which feels very poor. So far, I can’t detect the wine note (does the name relate to the scent?). I’ll give it another chance before dismissing it.

  This is my first impression. I just received an order from O Boticário with Malbec and its flanker, the Gold. Like a child on their birthday, I opened the packaging of the first one, tested it, and the feeling was very pleasing, growing and making me want to go deeper. First impressions: a soft but not weak juice, generous and kind; it inspires class and cleanliness, but this is only the beginning. I must let it mature, fuse with me, and that generates the desire to discover more. I also received samples of other fragrances, including Floratta flankers for my wife, one of them Secret Flowers, which opened our eyes to how pleasant they are. Another sample of 214 African Sunrise arrived, interesting; I must explore it. I really liked the bottle design and the snowy packaging. It has been a pleasant discovery of O Boticário; I note a distinctive particularity in their fragrances. Personally, it seems very likely I will join the brand; there is quality and service here. I’ll stay in touch. Chao!

  This is my first impression. I just received an order from O Boticário featuring Malbec and its flanker Gold. Like a child on their birthday, I opened the packaging of the first one, tested it, and the sensation was very pleasant, developing and making me want to explore further. First impressions: a soft but not weak juice, generous and kind; it inspires class and cleanliness, but this is only the beginning. I need to let it mature, blend with my skin, and that generates the desire to discover more. I also received samples of other fragrances, including flankers from Floratta for my wife, one of which was Flores Secretas, which opened our eyes to how pleasant it is. Another sample of 214 African Sunrise arrived, which is interesting and needs exploring. I loved the bottle design and the snowy packaging. It has been a delightful discovery of O Boticário; I note a distinctive particularity in their fragrances. Personally, it seems very likely I will subscribe to the brand; there is quality and service here. I’ll stay in touch. Chao!

  Third review on this date. A simple sniff of the cap at the end of the day left me with a pleasing sensation that erased the confusion from the Magnetic flanker launch, where I sought to confirm what I said earlier and touched something similar to what I had with the Gold. Now I’m not sure what to think of Magnetic and the Gold, but I’ll keep testing. Just smelling the cap, which left a trace in my olfactory fossa, makes me think it has sophistication, evoking cleanliness, finesse, and class. It just lacks a bit more strength to project, which I certainly desire. Confirming something I saw before: flankers cannot copy the success of the original; they only serve to confirm that success. I believe they are there for collectors like me to get obsessed and collect the line, knowing only the first one is perhaps worth it. In fact, I want to own Club Intenso and Flame, which intrigue me. Until next time.

  This is my second comment, following the previous one. I detect a predominant wine note, although the only thing suggesting it is the name and the notes don’t confirm it; it seems fruity, like red fruits, though it only has citrus. There is a certain amber that goes with that winy touch, but it’s not heavy, and there’s no excessive sweetness; I feel it moves around me softly, like a skin scent, although I’m not sure and we must keep exploring. At times I detect incense, only when it settles, a soft, ghostly presence that comes and goes. Direct heat works against it, so you must be careful if you want to preserve it. I clarify that I live in a sunny tropical zone. I reiterate that I’ve enjoyed discovering Malbec and O Boticário through this; I’ve already bought two flankers with good reviews, the Gold and the Magnetic, which I haven’t tested yet. Until next time.

  Starting with the original that launched the Malbec line, there are already many derivatives. This one is only suitable for cold weather, below 22 degrees. I have one nearly empty and a new bottle I tested two months ago which smelled only of dry wood with zero performance. But yesterday I tested it again and ufffff, what a change! I’ve never had the Amouage Interlude, but with a single spray on my wrist it lasted two days until my shower. I don’t use it in this heat, but if another fragrance has this performance, bless it! I own the Gold and the Absoluto, and both perform well, though the Absoluto is more gourmand and refined. If you want something woody, ambered, and classy for cold days, you can’t go wrong. It suits semi-formal attire. Don’t buy it blindly; it’s a scent that people compliment, but it’s not generic. If you like it, spray generously, let it rest in your wardrobe for a month, and you won’t believe the result.

  I don’t know why people praise this. It lacks projection, doesn’t last, and the scent is weak. I bought it on recommendation and it’s the worst money I’ve spent. I wore it for days hoping it would improve, but nothing: no sillage, no longevity. It clings to the skin and that doesn’t convince me. I also don’t like the aroma. I expected more from this Malbec and I’m left with a brutal disappointment.
