Ginger+Mist

I think this is one of the best yet from Michael Malul, and I have smelled the large majority of them and purchased quite a few. The ginger is the highlight here. It feels almost “photorealistic” (or whatever the fragrance equivalent would be) and works very well with the citrus notes in the top. The citrus adds a slight sweetness as well. As this dries down the woods and musk takes a larger role. I would describe this fragrance as invigorating all throughout. Performance is good overall for how fresh it is. This is a warm weather scent for sure. I would say this is safe for most occasions, and all age groups. The retail price of $130 is steep in my opinion. However, this seems to be sold consistently for less than that elsewhere, and the prices I am seeing there are good. Also, Michael Malul fragrances are seemingly always a part of a BOGO deal of some sort at Perfumania, which would be worth it in my opinion. My other top recommendations from the brand would be Edgewater, West Loop, and Agar+Myrrh for those interested in that route. Personally, I am likely to pick this up next spring. This is a great release.

This is a delightful fizzy ginger fragrance that becomes woody and very musky in the dry-down. The opening is vibrant and fresh, and will radiate about 2 hours before reducing a bit in sillage, but will still pump for a good 4 hours. You will get another two hours as a skin scent that will still linger throughout the day. I found that an average 4-5 sprays in the morning works, and a refresher of 2-3 sprays in the early afternoon helps the fragrance stick through the day. The ginger smells fantastic mixed with the citruses and pineapple, and the woody, musky dry-down is equally pleasant. Would easily be a 10/10 fragrance, but the performance holds it at about an 8.5-9/10. Perfect for spring, summer, and the gym. Decent price point but phenomenal value if you can find it discounted (which you normally can).

Fragrance Journal Entry #90 Very fitting name for this scent, what you see is what you get. Starts off very bright sparkling frosted ginger ale, this part lasts about 1-2h then it slowly becomes ginger dominant as the citrus top notes fade. Deep into the dry down you get a feint smell of a well hydrated piss, so it goes from "ginger mist" to "ginger pissed" real quick, but i actually don't mind it because the opening is truly that gorgeous. Doesn't last all too long like most Malul fragrances (4-5h) but i don't mind over spraying when summer comes back around. Rating: 8.2/10 Blind Buy Safe? YES

This cologne smells absolutely amazing my favorite from the perfume house by far and is such a beautiful scent, but personally it performs horrible on my skin I only get an hour or two out of it before I can’t smell it at all, I don’t know if it’s just how it reacts with my skin but it’s gone within a few hours and it’s so disappointing because it truly is a beautiful cologne

Just picked this up the other day and I really enjoy it. It has a light airy ginger/citrus scent with a smooth creaminess to it. I can see this being great on a warm day, but is also currently working great on me when its -1 Celsius out. I think this would later well with Imagination, Meteore, Pacific Chill, or any other dupes of those. Overall 8.5/10
