Launched in 2020, 139 Spice by Michael Malul London is a Woody Spicy fragrance created by perfumers Roger Howell and Frank Voelkl. This composition opens with a bright melon and bergamot duo that immediately freshens the air, leading into a heart of lavender and jasmine that adds an aromatic warmth without becoming heavy. The base notes of amber, sandalwood, and patchouli provide a grounding earthiness, creating a tension between freshness and depth.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance a bit heavier than usual in the morning; the citrus and melon top notes are bright but fleeting. The woody base takes about an hour to bloom fully, so layering it over a light cologne can help bridge that transition. It pairs well with casual attire for a more relaxed yet sophisticated vibe.

The story behind the bottle.
The hum of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, with the scent of fresh spices wafting from the kitchen nearby.
