Arc is a natural fougere with a concentration of around 40%. Perfumer Rajesh Balkrishnan has summoned a glorious symphony of sunkissed herbs, lavender, jasmine and pine, grounded by the deep earthy richness of oakmoss. The cinnamon spice of styrax and the smoky vanillic sweetness of benzoin assist the joyful lift-off.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
ARC suits a wearer who likes their presence quiet but unmistakable: herbaceous, dry and slightly powdery, with the feeling of walking through cool air before the day has fully warmed. It reads best in close company, where its green depth and old-school fougère shape can unfold without becoming loud.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its aromatic herbs and mossy woods can breathe. Apply sparingly at first; the extrait concentration gives it real density and a strong trail, so one or two sprays are often enough. On skin it turns powdery and resinous, while in air it feels greener and more forested.
Who it’s for
For lovers of classic fougères, natural perfumery and green, mossy compositions with a vintage barbershop edge. It will appeal to those who enjoy aromatic herbs, powdery textures and a dry, earthy finish rather than bright freshness or sweetness.

The nose
Antonio Lasheras and Rajesh Balkrishnan. Antonio Lasheras is the Spanish founder and perfumer behind Mallo Parfums, working in an artisanal, all-natural register that favours rare materials and textured contrasts. Rajesh Balkrishnan collaborated on ARC’s concept and formula, helping shape its unusual natural fougère structure and its Eastern-Western aromatic dialogue.
Collaborators
Antonio Lasheras, as founder and perfumer of Mallo, developed the fragrance’s artisanal natural structure and guided its concept. Rajesh Balkrishnan collaborated on the formula and creative direction, helping turn the brief into a distinctive natural fougère built around rare absolutes and a mythical floral idea.
Mallo’s story
Mallo Parfums is a small Spanish house devoted to all-natural, handcrafted perfumery. Its work leans into memory, landscape and primitive materiality, using unusual botanicals and absolutes to create scents that feel tactile, unrepeatable and rooted in nature rather than trend.
ARС’s concept
ARC was released as a limited-edition natural extrait in late 2023 and conceived as a confluence of Eastern and Western perfumery. The house describes it as a kind of mythical flowering plant, built from mountain herbs, woods and resins to evoke forest air, damp earth and a calm, spiritual ascent.
Extra info
ARC is a limited-edition extrait de parfum at around 40% concentration and is handcrafted in 30ml and 50ml bottles. It has been described as a natural fougère with notable power and a green-resinous profile, and it quickly became associated with Mallo’s rare-material approach.
