Malin + Goetz
Dark Rum EDP
“Two fingers of dark rum by a fireplace — no ice, no mixer.”
The take
What works
- ●Rum-tobacco-leather combination is hedonistic and confident
- ●Milk-amber base is rich without tipping into dessert territory
- ●Strong evening fragrance at a mid-tier price
Trade-offs
- ●Boozy opening is polarizing in office or daytime settings
- ●Strictly autumn-winter — summer use is a hard no
