"Malabah is an aromatic spicy fragrance inspired by an imagined Indian spice route. Its character opens with bright lemon, Earl Grey tea, and coriander before developing into a warm heart of ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, rose, and orris. The drydown is soft, creamy, and gently enveloping, built around amber, musk, and sandalwood. In solid form, the fragrance was presented as a portable balm in a silver-plated collectible compact rather than an alcohol-based spray. The compact format gives the scent an intimate, skin-close presence and makes it especially suited to travel. Malabah Solid Fragrance is now a discontinued collector's item."

Reviews Summary

“Malabah Solid Fragrance is praised for its exotic, aromatic spice-route character. Lemon and smoky Earl Grey tea create a refreshing opening, followed by ginger and cardamom softened by orris and rose, with creamy sandalwood and amber in the base. The compact is portable and elegant, while the balm format produces intimate, close-to-skin projection and generally lighter, shorter-lived performance than the liquid spray.”
