Loumari Amber Malatya Extrait
Description
Amber Malatya is a sun-ripe apricot amber that turns dark and leathery, with real Cambodian oud at its core. It takes its name from Malatya in Turkey, a region famous for its apricots, and was composed for the Paris house Loumari by Julien Rasquinet in 2025. Where many ambers lean on resin and wood from the start, this one opens on juicy apricot with coriander and saffron. Rose, Australian sandalwood and patchouli form a warm, rounded heart, and the base goes deep with labdanum, leather and Cambodian oud. Fruit, spice and dark wood, in that order.
Scent Character
- Oud: 44%
- Spicy: 22%
- Woody: 11%
- Sweet: 11%
- Floral: 11%
Translation: oud leads by a wide margin, and it is real: Cambodian oud sits in the base with leather and labdanum. Saffron and coriander give the spice, and the apricot and rose account for the sweet and floral shares.
Fragrance Pyramid
- Top: Apricot, Coriander, Saffron
- Heart: Rose, Australian Sandalwood, Patchouli

Performance
Longevity: Long. With labdanum, leather and oud in the base, it is built to last well into the evening.
Sillage: Moderate to strong.
Projection: Two to three feet in the first hours, then a close, leathery oud.
An honest note: it is a 2025 release, so reviewer data is still limited. The apricot is at its brightest early on; after a few hours this is mostly a leather-oud amber.
