‘A sensual, intense and evocative perfume that gives sensations of the Orient. Malabar opens on ardent spicy notes of pepper and cardamom to continue with a heart of ylang-ylang and close with a triumph of vanilla and patchouli that will awaken dormant passions and desires. Oriental perfumes , also called amber , evoke distant lands, smells and fragrances that are almost unknown to us. Characterized by vanilla, spicy and patchouli notes, when combined with woody and musky fragrances they are particularly enveloping and sensual. A fresher and more delicate version of orientals is represented by semi-orientals or florientals , characterized by fragrant aromatic and floral notes. Malabar belongs to this subcategory, whose amber character is mitigated by the floral note of ylang-ylang.’ – Optico
