The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, 511 Black Tie by Michael Malul London is a fragrance that embodies the spirit of an elegant evening. Created by perfumers Roger Howell and Frank Voelkl, this Oriental Spicy scent opens with the freshness of juniper berries and ginger before transitioning into a heart of dried fruits and sage. The base notes of amber, musk, tonka bean, and vanilla create a warm, enveloping aroma that lingers long after it’s applied.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — it builds gradually on skin. The fresh spicy notes are prominent at first but give way to a warmer base that lasts well into the evening.
