Christian Provenzano

"Malabah is a feminine spicy oriental fragrance built around the contrast between bright citrus, aromatic tea, and warming spices. Its opening combines lemon, tea, and coriander for a lively and slightly herbal introduction. Ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, rose, and orris root create a richly textured heart with floral and powdery nuances. The drydown becomes softer and warmer through amber, musk, and sandalwood. Despite its oriental character, the fragrance maintains an airy citrus lift rather than becoming excessively dense or sweet. It is an elegant, distinctive composition with a warm, aromatic personality and a strong sense of exotic travel."

Reviews Summary

“Malabah is described as beautiful and very feminine, with a spicy oriental citrus character. Its lemon, tea, and coriander opening gives way to a spicy floral heart and a soft amber, musk, and sandalwood drydown. The overall impression is elegant, aromatic, warm, and distinctive without being excessively sweet or heavy.”
