Wood + Cardamom / Michael Malul

The Feeling: You guide your date through the empty halls of an art museum, one hand in hers and one over her eyes, building suspense about the evening ahead. You walk through an ornate archway into a candlelit room and uncover her eyes, watching as they light up. A private chef is whipping up a five course meal as a string quartet plays a waltz. This might just be the best date you’ve ever planned.

The Fragrance: Bright opening notes of Italian bergamot, cardamom pod, and crisp apple soften into mid notes of violet leaves, damask rose, and ambrox. Warm and powerful base notes of sandalwood, earthy woods, and musk layer for a strong and masculine undertone.
