What does Malamata smell like?

The opening of mastic, peppermint, galbanum and violet leaf is fresh and green. In the heart, lily of the valley and rose add a soft floral note, while absinthe wormwood and sage bring a spicy, herbal edge. The base of ambergris, hay, musk and patchouli leaves a warm, earthy trail.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the vote counts are small, so treat these ratings with caution. Voters place it mostly in leisure, daily and office wear, with evening and night out further behind. It reads as an easy, restrained scent with no lean toward either gender.
