Melón Malo opens on a honeyed, watery melon, lifted by candied ginger, cinnamon bark and mandarin. The house tells a childhood memory behind it, then night markets in Southeast Asia, warm and fragrant.
The heart pairs Bulgarian rose, rose petals, red berries and patchouli. In the base, oud, cistus, Georgywood, leather and musks give the fruit a dark, sensual allure.

Melón Malo in detail
Born To Stand Out likes strong contrasts. Melón Malo, presented as an extrait, pairs an insolent, honeyed melon with Bulgarian rose, oud and leather: an unexpected fruity floral, at once gourmand and dark.
The official pyramid opens on melon, ginger, cinnamon and mandarin, a juicy, spicy start. The heart brings together Damask rose, rose, red berries and patchouli. The base pairs oud, labdanum, Georgywood, leather and musk, a woody, leathery foundation.
Melón Malo is worn in spring and autumn, by day or by night: at the office for those who like assertive fragrances, at a dinner, or in the evening. Its melon makes it more surprising than the usual woody roses.
Three florals in our catalogue come close: Hibiscus Mahajád by Maison Crivelli shares Damask rose, cinnamon, leather and musk; Lyric Woman by Amouage brings together cinnamon, ginger, rose, musk and patchouli; I Woody Floral by Clive Christian pairs mandarin, red berries, patchouli and oud.
