EDP · 2023 · mens

Michael Malul is a niche fragrance house known for creating bold, unconventional scents that blur traditional gender boundaries. West Loop, released in 2023, reflects the brand's approach to modern fragrance composition with its layered, character-driven profile.

West Loop opens with almond blossom and vanilla orchid softened by cinnamon, creating a gourmand-forward top that balances sweetness with warm spice. The heart shifts into more complex territory with tobacco and myrrh grounding the floral elements of lavender, while tonka bean and amberwood in the base add a creamy, woody richness. Patchouli rounds out the composition with earthy texture. The overall DNA leans toward warm, amber-based sweetness with enough tobacco and spice to keep it from feeling one-dimensional.

West Loop works best for those who appreciate fragrances with depth and a slightly smoky-sweet character. It's versatile enough for everyday wear but substantial enough for evening, making it a solid choice for cooler months or anyone drawn to gourmand scents with savory undertones. If you gravitate toward The Reverie, The Seducer, and The Romantic, West Loop deserves consideration.

Almond Blossom
Almond Blossom
Vanilla Orchid
Vanilla Orchid
Cinnamon
Cinnamon
Sweet, warm, and instantly comforting, cinnamon bark has a familiar warmth that slides easily into oriental and gourmand fragrances. Used sparingly it adds a pleasant warmth; used heavily it can dominate. It has a slightly sharp, peppery facet alongside its sweetness that keeps it from being purely foodie.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Tobacco
Tobacco
Rich, sweet, slightly smoky and earthy, tobacco in perfumery is the idealized version: dried, cured, and faintly honeyed rather than ashy and stale. It adds a deep, contemplative warmth to oriental and woody fragrances. Tobacco fragrances feel settled and confident, the scent of someone who's entirely comfortable in their own skin.
Myrrh
Myrrh
Deep, bittersweet, and slightly medicinal, myrrh is a resin with a complex, almost anise-like quality that sets it apart from frankincense. It adds a dark, almost sacred quality to oriental fragrances and is more challenging and assertive than its biblical companion. A note that rewards patience.
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.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
Amberwood
Amberwood
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
