EDP · womens

Michael Malul is a niche fragrance house known for crafting refined, understated compositions that prioritize wearability without sacrificing complexity. Upper East reflects this philosophy, delivering a balanced fragrance that bridges classic and contemporary sensibilities.

Upper East opens with a bright, spiced top featuring bergamot and cardamom, softened by the green snap of apple leaf. The heart settles into a lavender-geranium combination grounded by suede's soft texture, creating an aromatic core that feels both fresh and slightly powdery. Vanilla, cedar, and amber anchor the base, introducing warmth that prevents the fragrance from feeling too austere. The overall character reads as an aromatic fresh spicy with vanilla undertones, making it approachable yet sophisticated.

This is a fragrance for someone seeking polish and restraint, suited to everyday wear and professional settings where subtlety matters. It works year-round, though the crisp opening suggests spring and fall wear. If you gravitate toward The Romantic, The Hedonist, or The Heirloom, Upper East warrants a test.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Cardamom
Cardamom
Aromatic, warm, and slightly eucalyptus-like with a spiced green freshness that is entirely its own. Cardamom is one of the most elegant spice notes in perfumery, exotic without being heavy, warm without being sweet. It appears frequently in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances and modern masculine compositions.
Apple Leaf
Apple Leaf
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Geranium
Geranium
Green, rosy, and slightly minty, geranium is one of perfumery's most useful ingredients, sitting at the intersection of floral, herbal, and green families. Rose geranium adds a natural, slightly ragged freshness to rose accords that synthetic rose can't match. It grounds floral compositions in something earthy and real.
Suede
Suede
Soft, slightly powdery, and skin-warm, suede accord in perfumery captures the scent of fine-grained leather without the raw animal quality of heavy leather notes. It's simultaneously woody and musky, creating a second-skin warmth that feels intimate and tactile. The note that makes certain fragrances feel like cashmere.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
Cedar
Cedar
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
