Malaise of the 1970's is often described as a bold and complex fragrance that captures a vintage vibe with its citrus and leather notes. Users note the prominent use of aldehydes, giving it a fresh and slightly soapy quality, while the leather and patchouli add depth. Opinions are divided; some enthusiasts appreciate its unique character and nostalgic feel, while others find it challenging and not easily wearable. It is generally recommended for spring and summer occasions, as well as for those who enjoy unconventional scents. The lack of heart and base notes has led to discussions about its longevity and overall structure, with some users feeling it lacks depth after the initial spray.
