Black Incense Malaki Chopard

Chopard Black Incense Malaki is a mystical oriental woody fragrance built around frankincense, oud and leather, and Maids Scents carries the authentic Eau de Parfum with delivery across Nigeria and beyond.

What is Chopard Black Incense Malaki?

Chopard Black Incense Malaki launched in 2020, created by the legendary perfumer Alberto Morillas, the same nose behind Chopard Cedar Malaki, which we already carry, and joins the same wider Malaki Collection. Chopard built this specific release as a tribute to the millenary tradition of royal frankincense, echoing the house’s Luxury Naturals Perfumery philosophy.

The most exquisite quality of pure frankincense, specifically sourced from Somaliland, stands at the very heart of the composition, blended with a superb array of sustainably sourced natural ingredients. One especially inventive reviewer describes the whole experience as theatrical, comparing it to a scene from The Phantom of the Opera, dashing and dramatic in equal measure.

That same royal ceremonial framing carries through Chopard Black Incense Malaki’s bottle, echoing the house’s jewelry heritage in its finish and detailing.

Fragrance Profile

Chopard Black Incense Malaki opens with saffron, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon and French lavender, a bright, spicy burst one detailed reviewer describes as a puff of mace before quickly plunging into something else entirely.

As Chopard Black Incense Malaki develops, the heart brings in olibanum and resin, a very pure, smoky incense that same reviewer specifically notes is nothing like the incense found in churches, smouldering instead off thick, warm leather. That reviewer also points out Morillas is better known for citrus soap freshies like Acqua di Gio, making this composition feel like a genuine artistic departure.

The base settles into oud, leather and woody notes, closing out a dense, powerful dry-down more than one reviewer describes as unrelenting and genuinely brilliant for six hours or more. One detailed reviewer specifically compares Chopard Black Incense Malaki to a drier, smokier, more masculine version of the house’s own Oud Malaki, with the sweetness noticeably toned down.

Top Notes: Saffron, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Cinnamon, French Lavender
Heart Notes: Olibanum, Resin
Base Notes: Oud, Leather, Woody Notes

Who Should Wear Black Incense Malaki?

Chopard Black Incense Malaki suits anyone who wants a genuinely bold, dense, sophisticated incense-oud-leather signature rather than something light or subtle. It’s worth being honest that its unisex appeal is genuinely bold rather than universally easy, and some wearers find the smoky intensity challenging, so sampling first is a sensible idea.

Performance and Longevity

Performance for Chopard Black Incense Malaki is genuinely strong, with detailed sources reporting 6 to 10 hours of wear on skin, and up to 12 to 14 hours on clothing. Projection tends to be moderate and reserved rather than room-filling, so overspraying is worth avoiding since it can amplify the smokiness quickly.

Two to three sprays on pulse points is a sensible, genuinely well-supported starting point given how consistently Chopard Black Incense Malaki is reported to perform.

Best Time to Wear Black Incense Malaki in Nigeria

Multiple sources specifically recommend this fragrance for fall and winter evenings, which maps naturally onto Nigeria’s harmattan season, where cooler, drier air lets the oud, leather and resinous base fully develop for gala nights and intimate evening gatherings.
