New Journalist by Michael Malul is an Eau de Parfum from the Esquire Collection built around a fresh blend of citrus, aquatic-floral notes and smooth woods. Lemon, mandarin splash and crisp apple leaf create a bright opening before blue lavender, geranium mist and lotus bring an aromatic, clean character to the heart.
As it settles, vetiver, sandalwood and amber add warmth and depth without losing the fragrance's relaxed freshness. The result is polished yet casual, balancing citrus brightness with aromatic florals and an earthy woody base.
A Michael Malul New Journalist sample or travel-size decant is a convenient way to experience the fragrance before committing to a full bottle, while also offering a portable option for everyday wear, work, weekends and travel.

What Does Michael Malul New Journalist Smell Like?
New Journalist opens bright and crisp, combining sparkling lemon and mandarin with the green-fruity freshness of apple leaf. The citrus gradually softens into an aromatic heart where blue lavender and geranium are balanced by the watery floral character of lotus.
The drydown becomes warmer and more grounded as vetiver and sandalwood emerge alongside amber. Rather than turning heavy, the woody base supports the fragrance's clean, approachable character and gives the fresh opening a smoother finish.
Performance and Best Occasions
The fresh citrus, aromatic florals and woody base make New Journalist particularly versatile for casual daytime wear, the office, weekends, travel and warm-weather outings. Its relaxed profile can also transition easily into informal evening settings.
Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment.
Why Try a Michael Malul New Journalist Sample?
A New Journalist sample allows you to experience how its citrus, lavender, lotus, vetiver and sandalwood develop on your skin before purchasing a larger bottle.
Sampling is especially useful if you are looking for a fresh fragrance that offers more depth than a straightforward citrus scent while remaining clean, easygoing and versatile.

Fragrance Care & Warm-Weather Delivery
Fragrance—whether in a decant, travel spray, or full bottle—is best experienced and stored at room temperature.
If your fragrance arrives warm:
- Bring the package inside as soon as possible.
- Allow the fragrance to return to room temperature for several hours, or overnight, before spraying.
- Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Do not refrigerate or freeze it.
A fragrance exposed to warm transit conditions may smell slightly different while it is still warm. Once it has cooled and rested, it should smell and perform as intended. For the vast majority of shipments, temporary warmth during delivery is not a cause for concern.
Every fragrance is carefully inspected and packaged before shipment.
