If you love incense, you must test!
I would like to issue a warning in advance:
Whoever does not get along with incense at all will not be happy here - definitely not.
I personally have no problem with this fragrance, as long as it is captured and tamed by others in a contrasting way. On the other hand, I cannot do too much with the atmosphere of a crypt or a musty cellar. Such scents are simply too dark and unfriendly for me. Besides, they simply do not suit me, but they have their right to exist, because they are also very attractive to other people.
"MALVS" is a true incense bomber and because of its extraordinary character a fragrance where I don't quite know where I am.
Incense is omnipresent and extraordinarily dominant here. It may awaken certain cellar associations in me, but these are not characterized by mustiness or other unappetizing things. The cellar here is clean, dry, so well maintained instead of neglected. Nevertheless, all this is not easy for me personally, because the incense here is simply already too dominant and as soon as this is the case, it can appear as clean as it is. It simply becomes exhausting.
The contrasting by means of other fragrances, which I mentioned at the beginning of my commentary, is only to a small extent done by sandalwood. This gives the incense atmosphere a little bit of sweetness and creaminess. I suspect, however, that a part of this sweetness may also come from the incense itself, because it already resonates when sprayed on, where there is no sign of sandalwood.
In the end we have here a composition in which a sweetish, quite clean incense plays the leading role and is only slightly put in its place by creamy sandalwood. For incense lovers this fragrance is definitely worth a test. For others, however - and I am one of them - it could quickly become exhausting. Once again I find that pure incense scents do not suit me.
