What does Malayaku smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, so it stays on skin for a long time and carries well around the wearer. Being unisex, it can be worn by anyone.

The notes read as a single whole rather than in layers. The floral, green side comes from mimosa absolute, champaca absolute and pandanus leaf, while Malaysian black tea and lemon grass keep that side fresh and spicy. Malaysian vetiver, frankincense and Malayan oud add a resinous, smoky, earthy and slightly animal depth.
