VAR by Mallo
Launch Year: 2025
Perfumers: Antonio Lasheras & Rajesh Balkrishnan
Concentration: Extrait de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
Inspired by the forests at the foothills of the Himalayas, VAR is a tribute to one of perfumery's most noble raw materials: vetiver. The fragrance opens with the crisp freshness of pine, silver fir, timur pepper, and green grass, creating the sensation of cool mountain air drifting through ancient forests. At its heart, earthy cypriol reinforces the natural character of an exceptional vetiver accord, while Mysore sandalwood introduces a smooth, creamy warmth. A touch of natural oud adds richness and depth, resulting in a refined composition that is green, woody, and effortlessly sophisticated.
Performance:
Excellent longevity with moderate projection. The extrait concentration allows the vibrant coniferous opening to gradually evolve into a smooth, earthy dry down where vetiver, sandalwood, and oud remain beautifully balanced for many hours.
Ideal For:
Spring, summer, and early autumn. Perfect for lovers of elegant vetiver fragrances, natural woody compositions, coniferous landscapes, and sophisticated niche perfumery that emphasizes purity, balance, and exceptional raw materials.
