What does Malìa smell like?
It opens bright and a little green with mandarin orange, marjoram, pink pepper and fruits. The heart sets rose, black pepper, tobacco flower and osmanthus against each other, floral but spiced. In the base, vetiver, benzoin, patchouli, musk and oakmoss give it a resinous, earthy footing, with a trace of sweetness and a synthetic edge behind them.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer and winter chosen less often. Leisure, night out and business all draw votes. Most see it as feminine, though some read it as masculine. Prudence Alexis and Douglas Feel the Love have a close profile.
