My next round with Michael Malul begins today with the first of four of another discovery set. New Journalist by Michael Malul Londonis an Oriental fragrance for men. Top notes are Apple Leaf, Mandarin and Lemon; middle notes are Lotus, Blue Lavender and Geranium; base notes are Sandalwood, Vetiver and Amber. The Feeling: Leaning back into an Adirondack chair by the lake, you crack open a craft IPA and breathe in the fresh mountain air. Your perfectly worn denim jacket beams under the sun. Surrounded by trees, nature, and good friends is where you feel the most at-home. The Fragrance: Fruity and aquatic notes of lemon, mandarin splash, and apple leaf soften into floral notes of blue lavender, geranium mist, and lotus before warming into earthy base notes of vetiver, sandalwood, and amber.

Thanks to @Thomas Chavez for introducing me to this house, with a sample of Oud Malaki. Scored a deal for the 3 bottles in a package deal. The seller didn't have Oud Malaki, but they did have the 3 that I was really interested in. Can't wait to try them out
