Michael Malul London 2021 EDP
Ocean Noir
by Roger Howell
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 green-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
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.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
