A deep incense portrait with royal poise, Malaki Black Incense rises in aromatic swirls that blend bright spices with resinous balsams, before revealing a heart built around frankincense that feels smoky and ceremonious yet polished. As it settles, dark woods, oud, and a supple leather nuance create a sensual, smoldering trail that reads luxurious, confident, and unmistakably modern.

Story and Positioning
Created as a tribute to royal frankincense, this addition to the Malaki collection explores the darker and warmer facets of olibanum wrapped in precious woods, oud, and a refined leather tone. It sits alongside Oud Malaki, Rose Malaki, Amber Malaki, Musk Malaki, Cedar Malaki, and Leather Malaki, offering a sophisticated incense choice within Chopard’s jewel-inspired line. Its smoky leather temperament is often compared to bold statements like Gucci Guilty Absolute and John Varvatos Dark Rebel.
Bottle and Design
An obsidian-toned column of glass with deep ribbing along the sides that catches stray light. A satin gold nameplate with crisp lettering centers the face, paired with a matching metal cap that has a broad, textured rim. The silhouette feels monolithic and composed, with a low, grounded base that rests steady on the shelf.
