Michael Malul LondonEsquire Cartoonist

Vintage-style powder and modern fruit make for an uncommon pairing at the top of this composition, fitting for a playfully named release. Fresh aldehydes, juicy pineapple and mint leaf introduce the composition with a bright, powdery-fruity freshness unlike a typical men's cologne opener. Ginger zest, geranium and a portlandia accord carry the center, spiced and green, adding structure without losing that fruity brightness. Cedarwood, elemi and patchouli wrap things up warm and woody, giving Esquire Cartoonist Cologne a grounded, confident finish. Aromatic fresh is the fitting classification, versatile enough for daytime office wear while holding up comfortably into evening. It suits professional settings, casual outings and warm-weather occasions about equally well. Spring and summer favor the pineapple, aldehyde top most, though the woody close keeps it wearable into cooler months too. That aldehyde-pineapple pairing at the top is an unusually playful combination for a men's cologne at this price.
