What does Melón Malo smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, though only a small number of voters have rated them. Its sweet, warm build suits cooler weather, and it sits comfortably on women and men alike.

It opens with cinnamon, mandarin orange, honeydew melon and candied ginger, a fruity spice. Red berries, rose and patchouli follow in the heart. In the base, leather, musk and oud take over, while cistus and Georgywood® keep it soft and creamy. Floral and synthetic touches round out the accords. Xerjoff Soprano and Paris Corner Hurriya have a close profile.
