Malakeos by Bvlgari was launched in 2016 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. This aromatic fougère composition opens with a fresh spicy accord, where lavender takes center stage, bringing an herbal vibrancy that cuts through sweetness. The heart leans into woody and mossy notes, grounding the fragrance with earthy warmth, while musky undertones add depth and a subtle sensuality. Malakeos is neither overtly masculine nor feminine, embodying the brand's commitment to unisex elegance.
