by Roger Howell

Michael Malul London Ocean Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Roger Howell. The fragrance opens with Coconut, Sea Water, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Geranium, Seaweed, and Yarrow, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amberwood, and Tonka Bean.

Our verdict on Ocean Noir: Favourite

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.

Sport

Its fresh, clean, and mass-appealing aquatic profile makes it highly versatile for casual and office wear. However, varying reports on projection and longevity mean it might not hold up for formal events or intense sport unless oversprayed or reapplied.

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.
