593 Bali

The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, in a dimly lit café where the scent of flowers and warm spices mingle.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by Michael Malul London and crafted by perfumer Gil Clavien, 593 Bali is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that captures the essence of a balmy evening. The composition opens with elemi resin and cardamom, creating an aromatic warmth that cuts through the floral sweetness of jasmine and lily. At its heart lies orris, adding a subtle powdery quality, while sandalwood and suede lend a soft leatheriness. Musky and balsamic notes in the base provide depth and warmth, grounding the fragrance with earthy undertones.

How to wear it

One or two sprays is enough — the aromatic top notes are bright but fleeting. The fragrance builds warmth over time, so it's best applied just before you need to leave. It reads better close to skin than from a distance.
