The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Jet Black by Michael Malul London, launched in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis, is a complex composition that balances warm spices with woody and tobacco notes. The fragrance opens with the brightness of bergamot and lavender before transitioning to cinnamon and leather, creating an intriguing tension between freshness and depth. A heart of mimosa adds a subtle sweetness, while guaiac wood and opoponax ground the scent in rich earthiness. Oakmoss provides a finishing touch of sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply Jet Black to pulse points for a steady warmth that evolves over time. The cinnamon and leather notes project well initially, but the base will take about an hour to fully bloom. Best worn during cooler evenings when its rich warmth can be fully appreciated.
