Michael Malul Zest+Vetiver · Brotherhood Of Scent

Michael Malul Zest+Vetiver

Acquired this decant in a trade last winter with

and have been looking forward to testing it. Finally did that yesterday. Wow— this surprised me in a great way. Gorgeous and uplifting opening of the lemon zest hits immediately but with the zaps of the floral heart of cistus and lavender making me pause to recognize that this isn’t your typical, short-lived citrus top. In fact this performed beyond expectations. It’s my first time trying this brand, but I have a general read from the brotherhood that it has a luke warm following(?). It continued to develop over a couple of hours and a projected well within a few feet. Got family compliments! And, I smelled hints of it upon waking this morning so quite an impressive performance. Now I love freshies and Vetiver in general, and I will be enjoying this alongside some other tests before determining which wins a FB spot.
