The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

West Loop, launched in 2023 by Michael Malul London and crafted by Gabriela Chelariu, is a fragrance that weaves together rich warmth with unexpected floral notes. The composition opens with the spicy aroma of cinnamon and almond blossom before diving into a heart of vanilla orchid and lavender, creating an intriguing contrast between sweetness and earthiness. A base of tobacco, myrrh, tonka bean, amberwood, and patchouli adds depth and complexity, grounding the fragrance in a woody, warm embrace.

How to wear it

Apply West Loop in layers for a fuller experience. The top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so a second application after an hour will ensure that the rich base notes have time to develop fully on your skin. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear when its warm spices and woody tones can linger comfortably.
