Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Eau de Parfum

Michael Malul Ocean Noir Eau de Parfum is a fresh, aquatic scent for men, best suited to spring and summer days. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer; it leans towards daily and leisure wear, with office and sport use not far behind. It reads masculine and modern. It opens with coconut, minneola tangelo and marine notes, fresh, fruity and a little sweet. Geranium, yarrow and kelp keep the aquatic side going in the heart. In the base, musk, amberwood and tonka bean close it out with a woody, creamy warmth. Rayhaan Aquatica and Aswan Shu have a close profile.

Citizen Jack Absolute

8.3

Michael Malul

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity

Michael Malul Citizen Jack Absolute is a men's fragrance that sets fresh citrus and fruity sweetness on a creamy, gourmand base. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and half of the voters find its staying power high. It is also rated well for value. No season or occasion votes are available, so nothing can be said on those. It opens with bergamot and melon, fresh and fruity at first. In the heart, amber and pineapple deepen the sweetness, and in the base musk and vanilla settle it into a soft, creamy, gourmand finish. A smoky accord adds a little depth in the background. Al Haramain Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition and French Avenue Amber d'or have a close profile.

Jet Black Platinum

9.2

Michael Malul

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Michael Malul Jet Black Platinum is a sweet, gourmand men's fragrance whose warm spice and woody base give it a rich, enveloping character. It opens with spices and lavender, then moves into toffee and cinnamon at the heart. Suede, amber and vanilla form a resinous, soft base, so the overall impression stays warm, sweet and spicy. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are best read with caution. Parfums de Marly Oajan and Mamlaka Khalif have a close profile.
