The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Michael Malul London, 140 Blue is a creation by perfumers Roger Howell and Frank Voelkl. This aromatic fruity fragrance opens with the bright freshness of pomelo, blood orange, and apple, setting a vibrant tone from the start. The heart notes of lavender, neroli, and geranium add depth and complexity, while black pepper introduces a subtle spice that keeps the composition lively. As it settles into its woody base of cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, and amber, 140 Blue transforms into a warm and inviting scent with musky undertones.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for optimal effect. The bright citrus and fruity top notes will fade within an hour but leave a lasting freshness. The woody base notes will gradually emerge, providing warmth throughout the day.
