Terra Nova
9.1Michael Malul · 2022
Fresh · Citrus · Spicy
Michael Malul Terra Nova is a men's fragrance that pairs a fresh opening of lotus, lemon leaf and bergamot with an earthy, resinous base of patchouli, tonka bean and black amber.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so this is an early impression rather than a firm verdict. It reads as masculine, but there are not enough votes to say which seasons or occasions suit it.
The top notes of lotus, lemon leaf and bergamot give a citrusy, fresh start. Toward the heart, violet, sandalwood and ambrox add a soft woodiness. In the base, patchouli, tonka bean and black amber dry down spicy, oriental and earthy. Santa Maria Novella Patchouli (Eau de Cologne) and Robert Piguet Bois Bleu have a close profile.
