Beautiful wild nature (doesn’t roar)
Fresh and spicy at the same time, floral and green—pleasant but uncommon. Long-lasting, with good sillage, without being overpowering.

Lots of people go to Spain in summer.
Especially in the south, or even in central Spain, the climate can be quite challenging due to the heat, and everything around tends to be dry and desert-like.

But if you’re lucky enough to visit the Spanish countryside in spring or autumn, you’ll feel how everything there looks brighter, fresher, more vibrant—shining under the sun.

ARA is seductive, even though you can wear it all day long.
You can wear this perfume on a rainy day, when you want to feel like you’re somewhere else—taking a walk in nature among wildflowers—and you wouldn’t feel inappropriate.

Almost everything by this brand is beautiful and distinctive without being over the top. The fact that the production is small-scale and fully natural makes it unique

Elegance Between Chypre and Fougère
ARA by Mallo is one of those fragrances that seem to belong to multiple worlds at once, effortlessly shifting between a refined chypre and an aromatic fougère. It thrives on contrasts but does so with incredible grace.
The opening is spicy and vibrant, with cardamom, cumin, and elemi creating a warm, slightly resinous introduction. Then comes the floral heart, where pipirigallo—a unique type of jasmine—adds an enveloping brightness, balanced by the aromatic freshness of lavender, Spanish artemisia, and Spanish basil. The base is a tribute to nature, with oakmoss, Spanish cypress, thyme, and rosemary, giving it depth and a character that is both wild and refined.
Once again, Antonio Mallo proves to be an extraordinary perfumer. ARA is complex yet perfectly harmonious, captivating both chypre and fougère lovers alike. A unique, elegant, and truly mesmerizing creation.

My Private Aragón
I must have fallen asleep. Somewhere in Aragon. On one of those dead-straight roads through endless plains. Touched by short fresh gusts from the distant Pyrenees, a whisper of cool conifers, I open my eyes. Are traces of citrus in silvery veils. A residue of sharp dust still clings to the lids. The sun glistens on my sweaty arms. The barren ground lies behind. Rosemary withers on the branches, dried thyme tumbles into the undergrowth in the herb gardens. A chirping bunch of basil hangs in front of a wooden shed, dream-chopping its fibers into hay and herbaceous flying lichen. It's time to get up. On the horizon, the forest flickers with skin and resin over Aragon's long summers.
**
Antonio Lasheras from Zaragoza produces handmade fragrances for his Mallo label using almost exclusively natural, mostly rare raw materials in high concentrations and small editions. Small time capsules. "Moments of memory that time will bury". As Bloodxclat already described in his statement below, "ARA(GON)" is a tribute to his homeland, where his father cultivates fields of herbs. 80% of the raw materials for this fragrance come from the region.
Aragon greets me spicy, fresh and cool, cardamom and citrusy, woody conifer notes (cypress, elemi) waft from the forests across the fields, which are characterized by ethereal, tart (thyme, basil), earthy and herbaceous (lavender, artemisia, oakmoss) aromas. An ever-present, sweaty cumin note increasingly shifts the picture to hay-like. You can literally hear the crickets in the sparse undergrowth before dry woods and tart resins become somewhat clearer in the base. ARA(GON) is a moderately projecting day trip to Antonio's father.

(With thanks to Bloodxclat)

Come se non bastasse la nota maestria del naso nel trattare materie prime naturali in maniera incantevole il pipirigallo ha fatto il resto

Cumin in combo with a beautiful aromatic component that then takes over and where a sweet nuance is added
