The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by Michael Malul London and crafted by Hamid Merati-Kashani, Terra Nova is a complex composition that balances fresh spicy accords with woody warmth. The fragrance opens with bergamot and lemon leaf, creating a bright, citrusy freshness that immediately lifts the senses. As it develops, lotus and violet introduce a soft floral touch, while ambroxan and sandalwood add depth and a powdery muskiness. Patchouli and tonka bean round out the base with earthy warmth and sweet spiciness.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays — the citrus and aromatic notes are fleeting but impactful. The earthy base develops over time, making this fragrance better suited for evening wear.
