Launched in 2021 by Michael Malul London and created by perfumer Roger Howell, Ocean Noir is a Woody Aquatic fragrance for men that balances the crispness of marine and citrus notes with the warmth of musk and amber. The composition opens with sea notes and tangelo, creating an aquatic freshness that contrasts beautifully with the richness of coconut and seaweed in the heart. As it evolves, geranium and yarrow add a subtle floral touch, while tonka bean and amberwood anchor the base with their warm, enveloping embrace.

The story behind the bottle.
The sensation of standing at the water's edge — where the cool salt air meets the warmth of sun-kissed skin, and every breath is a mix of freshness and comfort.
