Michael Malul London launched Greystone in 2022 — and it was a brilliant move. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the spicy, fern, and wood families. Released in eau de parfum.
Country of origin — the United States: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Greystone is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Michael Malul London is evident from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports the right density and pace of development.
In the top tier you catch cardamom-peppery opening notes: Black Pepper, Cinnamon and Lemon. Exactly these 3 notes build voluminous spicy depth that anchors the first impression immediately.
In the middle phase you notice Elemi, Lavender and Nutmeg holding a deep balsamic direction.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Wood and Spicy forming a compact and readable structure. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Spicy, Citrus, Balsamic and Green. It also reaches into Wood. At family level the fragrance belongs to Fern, Spicy and Wood.
Taken together Greystone reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best understood through real development.
