Jet Black
by Michael Malul London
Jet Black is a smooth, spiced woody fragrance with a warm, dark character that leans into masculine sophistication. Its opening features bergamot and lavender, creating a fresh yet slightly gourmand-leaning top that evolves into a rich amalgam of cinnamon, leather, and tobacco. The middle notes feature mimosa and warm spices, building a bold yet well-blended profile that feels intense and inviting. The base, anchored by guaiac wood, oakmoss, and opoponax, delivers a long-lasting dry down with a dark, sweet-dried leather quality that lingers for hours. The scent projects moderately to strongly and performs exceptionally well on skin, especially for those who appreciate bold, structured olfactory journeys. It is best described as an elevated, more refined cousin to Burberry London — more balanced in blending, with a darker, more integrated soul.
