Michael Malul London Ocean Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Roger Howell. Ocean Noir opens with Sea Water, Coconut, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Geranium, Seaweed, and Yarrow, and dries down to a base of Musk, Tonka Bean, and Amberwood. Michael Malul London's Ocean Noir carries a Favourite verdict, a marine-led wear.

Ocean Noir is a divisive aquatic that smells absolutely sensational to many, often drawing compliments, but its shockingly poor performance for some means it's a hard pass for others. The consensus is a superb scent, but the longevity is a lottery.

About

It opens with a bright, juicy splash of tangerine and a distinct coconut creaminess, quickly leading into a deep aquatic heart of sea notes and slightly salty seaweed. The dry down settles into a smooth, masculine blend of amberwood, musk, and a hint of tonka bean, delivering a 'dark, stormy beach' vibe with a modern, fresh twist.
