Michael Malul London Ocean Noir is a Parfum launched in 2026, created by Doug Falcone. Ocean Noir opens with Pomelo, Sea Water, Bergamot, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Geranium, Pepper, Cinnamon, and Seaweed, and dries down to a base of Ambroxan, Musk, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Michael Malul London's Ocean Noir carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A deeper, more refined take on the original Ocean Noir, but be warned: performance is a hot topic. Some call it an elegant, darker blue while others curse its fleeting longevity. Not a safe blind-buy; try before you commit.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

About

Ocean Noir Parfum dives into a darker blue, opening with a burst of juicy pomelo and tangerine, softened by creamy coconut and fresh lavender. The marine heart of seaweed and yarrow grounds the scent, given an unexpected kick by pepper and cinnamon. It settles into a sophisticated base of earthy patchouli, warm amberwoods, and clean musks, with a hint of smoky incense and smooth tonka, creating a polished, masculine aura.
