Oud Malaki by Chopard was launched in 2012, crafted by the renowned perfumer Dominique Ropion. This fragrance opens with bright notes of grapefruit and lavender before transitioning into a heart of tobacco, spices, and leather, creating an intriguing tension between freshness and warmth. The base features dark woody notes and ambergris, grounding the composition in rich, animalic undertones that evoke depth and complexity.

Application Tips
Apply Oud Malaki to pulse points and allow it to settle for about five minutes. The grapefruit and lavender top notes are fleeting but set the stage for the warm and rich base notes that emerge after an hour. This fragrance reads best close to skin, making it ideal for more intimate settings.

Dominique Ropion is a daring perfectionist, a true inventor. The risks he takes are invariably accompanied by a relentless pursuit of exact olfactory balance and flawless composition. His perfumes are like great architectural feats: in the same way that a bridge, whose seemingly miraculous suspension of weight is in fact a harnessing of counteracting forces, Dominique often balances excessive doses of powerful ingredients with meticulously-measured, subtler accords, until the composition holds up on its own. A good perfume, he likes to say, must always appear obvious.
