Michael Malul Jet Black Platinum

Another young cologne for men from Michael Malul, this sequel/intensifier to 2019's simply "Jet Black" has the hallmarks of the original, with some nuance that makes it work as a new and interest addition.

Spicy notes and lavender are the top notes, toffee and cinnamon serve as the middle notes, and vanilla, suede, and amber anchor the fragrance. Different in the note profile for sure, "Jet Black Platinum" appears more confident in its simplicity....even more simple than its predecessor.

This is surprising, given the original's light note baggage. This cologne is somehow even more intriguing because of this stripping down.
