Cartoonist

Cartoonist by Michael Malul London is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Cartoonist was launched in 2025. The nose behind this fragrance is Stephanie Hakes. Top notes are Aldehydes, Pineapple and Mint; middle notes are Ginger, Geranium and Portlandia; base notes are Cedarwood, elemi and Patchouli. The Feeling: It’s Sunday morning and the sunlight pours into your studio, hitting a shelf of vintage bobbleheads and rainbow-hued vinyl. The air smells faintly of something unexpected—like fruity cereal. Stretching in your worn-in denim, putting on your thick-rimmed glasses, you start flipping through your sketchpad. With every stroke of your pen, the world becomes a little more amusing, a little more alive. You’re someone who sees the world in color while others see grayscale, who wears humor like cologne and irony like a badge. The Fragrance: A fresh, lively opening of bright aldehydes, juicy pineapple, and cool mint leaf opens this fragrance. As it settles, zesty ginger, crisp geranium, and the soft, floral elegance of Portlandia bloom into something wonderfully unexpected. Anchored by a grounded base of warm cedarwood, resinous elemi, and earthy patchouli, this scent is bold and balanced.
