Art & Olfaction Awards’ Finalist, 2024
Bal Baroque, Caravaggio meets film noir in an opulent perfume that echoes the classics of the mid-20th century. Inspired by the baroque splendour and mystery of Valletta, Malta’s capital, Bal Baroque reveals its dark secrets over time.
Powerfully constructed with some of the most alluring and sensual materials – oud, black sacra frankincense and damask rose – it is a fragrance for lovers of the night. A statement perfume that is smooth like a prized single malt and as smouldering as intrigue in a velvet boudoir.
– Spice and smooth woods in saffron, rose twig & leaf, and oakwood
– Smouldering frankincense, tobacco, oud, and patchouli
– Indulgent dark chocolate, vanilla and rum
Perfume Notes: Saffron, raspberry, damask rose, rum, dark chocolate, black sacra frankincense, aged oakwood, oud, vanilla, tobacco, patchouli.
Curate & Pair: Enhance with Boschetto to add a crisp, botanical edge to the warm, resinous base.
Artisan-crafted in our original Malta atelier, we’ve limited series of our current perfumes. They mark the final chapter of our Maltese production before Olentium begins its Mediterranean migration to Sicily.

I was given Bal Baroque as a gift for a very special occasion and I couldn’t love it more. It’s warm, sensual and smells wonderful on my skin. I put it on in the evening and it makes me feel beautiful inside and out.
Fiona Jackson (verified owner) –
A really lovely subtle perfume for an evening out – opulent but not at all overpowering.
Fiona Karimjee (verified owner) –
On me, apparently, Bal Baroque is initially warm & friendly then evolves into a ‘very grown up fragrance rather like good port’. Yes, my husband, who else? After 32 years of marriage I’ll happily take my share of the compliment alongside Bal Baroque!

Bal Baroque is one of the most elegant fragrances I have had the pleasure to discover and experience. It drips with elegance making you feel like a million dollar celebrity. If you are looking for a really elegant and sophisticated fragrance Bal Baroque is your ticket. Bal Baroque has been chosen as a finalist fragrance for The Art And Olfaction Awards 2024 which shows how grand this fragrance is! Wishing Ms.Grech all the best of luck for this incredible achievement making it a first for Malta!

feels ~rich~ and adult and absolutely beautiful. Definitely agree with other reviews saying this is a special occasion scent. First smelled this in a display setting and was afraid it would take on a different life once used on skin but loved it even more once it arrived.

Magnificent fragrance, as well as a nose, Liz, really kind and capable. She helped me with the purchase, and I took this perfume attracted by the notes and the name. I must admit that the name is evocative, and I am reminded of an elegance and passion typical of the Baroque years. I like to imagine the Sun King, who, having reached adulthood, finally no longer has to reign under the control of his mother. On the evening of the official coronation, organize a party, we are in the midst of the Baroque period. Seduction, good food and all the senses are engaged in this evening, with dancing and provocative looks, making a long-awaited evening memorable. Bal Baroque is the scent of waiting, which seduces, which invites passion, elegance, a mastery that a great Liz was able to make real. My compliments indeed. An evocative scent, and finally, something that hadn’t been smelled before. For now the best acquisition of 2024.
