SOTD: MICHAEL MALUL SEA+ZEPHYR

Today I went with Michael Malul Sea+Zephyr, and this is one of those fresh fragrances that is a little more interesting than the normal blue aquatic.

The opening is what really gets me. I get grapefruit, apple and that eucalyptus right away, with a green herbal edge from the basil. It gives it this fresh, breezy, almost coastal feeling without smelling like generic “ocean” cologne.

As it starts to settle, the lavender, rosemary and sage come through more and it gets cleaner and a little more aromatic. There is definitely some similarity to the Acqua di Giò style of fresh aquatic fragrances, but the eucalyptus and herbal side give Sea+Zephyr its own personality.

The drydown gets a little woodier and muskier, but it never becomes heavy. It stays clean, fresh and easy to wear.

For me this is a HOT weather fragrance first, and especially here in Arizona this makes a lot of sense. It is refreshing, masculine and not overly sweet.

Projection is pretty good early on and then it settles closer to the skin. I am not expecting beast-mode performance from this type of fragrance, but for a fresh summer scent it does the job.

SOTD RATING: 8.5/10

This is one of the better Michael Malul freshies in my opinion. Easy to wear, different enough to stand out, and that eucalyptus/grapefruit combination is really what makes it work for me today.
