The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, 138 Santorini is a creation from Michael Malul London that captures the essence of crisp Mediterranean mornings. Perfumers Frank Voelkl and Roger Howell have crafted this aromatic fruity fragrance for men with a bright citrus opening that gives way to a warm, woody base. Grapefruit and mandarin orange provide an invigorating start, while lavender and jasmine lend a subtle floral touch. The heart is rounded out by nutmeg and patchouli, adding warmth and depth. The powdery and amber notes in the base ensure a smooth transition from day to night.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure the bright citrus top notes are balanced by the deeper woody and spicy base. This fragrance is best worn during cooler hours as the warmth from the nutmeg and patchouli can become overwhelming in higher temperatures.
