Michael Malul South Slope

South Slope was launched in 2024 and created by Fabrice Pellegrin — originally released as "Blue Ridge" in the Michael Malul x Gents Scents collaboration. The house describes it as inspired by "the crisp mountain breeze and the lush, vibrant surroundings of a weekend retreat." The opening is a bright citrus burst of citron, Italian mandarin, and blackcurrant before settling into fresh, earthy notes of lavandin, ozonic accord, and cedar leaf. The ozonic element gives South Slope a clean, airy quality that keeps it from feeling heavy or overly sweet — it's distinctly modern and approachable. Community comparisons land most often on YSL Y, Azzaro Chrome, and airy soapy scents, with several reviewers noting it reminds them of Bleu de Chanel EDT minus the incense. The base unfolds with warm woody notes of patchouli, leather accord, and sandalwood for greater depth. As an eau de parfum with 15-20% concentration, South Slope can be expected to last anywhere from 6 to 8 hours on skin. Projection pushes out for the first 45 minutes to an hour, then settles into a closer scent bubble — expect 6 to 7 hours with 6 sprays. South Slope is the safest bet in the Michael Malul x Gents Scents collaboration fragrances — a fresh, versatile woody aromatic that works across seasons and settings. If you've been drawn to the citrus-ozonic-woody style but want something that leans clean and modern without the premium price tag of designer staples, a decant lets you experience exactly why this has become a go-to daily driver for so many wearers.
