The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, Black Incense Malaki by Chopard is an Oriental fragrance that blends smoky incense with warm spices and rich wood tones. Perfumer Alberto Morillas crafted this composition to evoke a sense of depth and mystery, combining the earthy warmth of oud with the leathery undertones of animalic accords. The result is a scent that feels both ancient and modern, grounded in tradition yet unmistakably contemporary.
Black Incense Malaki is best applied sparingly; its rich base notes develop slowly on the skin. A single spritz to each wrist or neck allows the fragrance to build gradually, enhancing its depth over time.
