Michael Malul London 138 Santorini is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Frank Voelkl and Roger Howell. 138 Santorini opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Apple, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lavender, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Michael Malul London's 138 Santorini carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

138 Santorini is a fresh aromatic with a warm backbone. Citrus and apple open it brightly, lavender and nutmeg add a classic masculine feel, and sandalwood, amber and patchouli stop it fading thin. Fresh, but not simple.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

138 Santorini opens with grapefruit, apple and mandarin, a sharp and juicy start that feels clean and sunny. The heart moves into lavender, jasmine and nutmeg, giving an aromatic, slightly spicy core with a floral lift. The base of sandalwood, amber and patchouli adds warmth and depth, so the scent dries down smoother and richer than the bright opening suggests. As an Eau de Parfum it sits in the fresh aromatic family with a warm woody finish, and it feels confident and tidy rather than showy.
