Powerful sip from the bottle
After Les Signature Tobacco Ambré didn't get away so dolle, now it's about the Malt Cuiré from the "Les Signature" series .

And first of all: At least the performance is quite different - namely quite powerful. Sillage clearly, durability even more clearly. This is especially important to me because I used the same amount of spray as with the Tobbaco Ambré. Well, you're not supposed to conclude from "this to that".
Short on names: Malt Cuiré - means dull translated probably as much as: "malt fried". Or, to put it more finely, maybe "steamed or roasted".

I have no idea what ingredients generate this very distinctive and voluminous special malt tobacco note - is that "much" clary sage? After the relatively short start with a dark-fruity note, this concise number is at any rate quite pithy - and remains constantly strict, but subsequently becomes a bit more tobaccolike.

Optically the whole thing is garnished with a very beautiful, dark whisky-coloured colour of the scented water and a decent sprayer (the packaging for it itself is thinnest cardboard; a little unkind).

This "roasted malt" reminds me of a liquor distillery for - malt whisky. And here we come to a problem - at least for my nose: Similar to the Bentley Intense with its crass rum-start note, this Malt Cuiré also comes across strongly alcoholic - and that as a whisky-tobacco blend. That has something extraordinary about it, especially in combination with the good performance. And yes, he's sweet. However, he does not have this quitsichige Gummi Bear kindergarten sweetness, but a somehow pleasant, cozy, masculine sweetness. I basically like that too, but for me it's definitely a smell that doesn't fit into the office, even though vanilla tobacco is slowly gaining the upper hand in the end - it's a long (wobbly) road until then. At times it smells more like a night in the casino than a scent. A morning police check might also be very interesting.

Conclusion: An expressive evening fragrance. It comes across fine and ideally complements alcohol-impregnated air, especially if it is also paired with a whisky seminar, where a good pipe fragrance is added as a nightcap. No scent for bubbies, but rather for the more mature generation or for those who want to look that way. Somehow a kind of evening "lounge fragrance" - unagitated and relaxing. Especially because of the obvious unknownness and - at least for me special note - this one might be very exclusive and is guaranteed not a mainstreamer. It is also laughably cheap and there remains something for good whiskey.
