Sceptre Malachite

How it Smells

Sceptre Malachite comes out swinging with a boozy rum and cedar that leans a little synthetic in the first few minutes. It's going for that God of Fire vibe but it lacks the natural mango sweetness. The heart of cloves and cinnamon is definitely there, alongside a dark chocolate note. Compared to God of Fire, it's maybe 90% similar. This clone is darker, less juicy, and doesn't have the same radiant quality. The drydown is a cozy mix of vanilla, patchouli and woods. It’s pretty good, but a little less refined than the original.

Conclusion

If you’re curious about God of Fire but can't justify the price tag, Sceptre Malachite is a decent alternative. It’s a solid fall/winter fragrance that works well for evenings out or date night. It's not a 1:1 dupe, so don't expect perfection. But ? It's a worthwhile grab. If you crave that juicy mango note and overall refinement, then maybe. Otherwise, this will scratch that itch.

Wear time & Sillage

Projection is moderate for the first hour or two, creating a nice scent bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin. I get about 6-7 hours of wear on my skin, which is respectable . Don't expect beast mode performance here, it's more of an intimate scent after the initial blast.
