Malesia Xerjoff

This fragrance is a surprisingly complex scent, opening with a brief, almost clean lily-of-the-valley before diving deep into a rich, resinous heart of amber and gurjan balsam, grounded by a powerful Laotian oud. Malesia truly feels like a luxurious, slightly dark oriental woody fragrance that definitely leans masculine on my skin. This one projects really well and lasts for ages, making it ideal for a formal evening event or a winter date night, but probably too much for a day at the office or a casual social gathering. Honestly, that initial floral touch before the woody resins kick in is what makes it stand out from other oud-heavy scents.
