Esquire Men’s Fragrance Line with Michael Malul Expands on Amazon

Esquire, the iconic men’s media brand, has announced the expansion of its fragrance collection on Amazon: the launch of four unique fragrances in collaboration with fragrance company Michael Malul, facilitated by the licensing agency IMG. This partnership initially launched in July 2024, sees Esquire leveraging its rich literary history and the personalities of its notable contributors to bring these scents to life.

The range, available in 100ml bottles, takes inspiration from influential figures in Esquire’s storied past, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, e.e. cummings, and journalism legends like Tom Wolfe. This homage is evident in the naming of the four initial scents: American Novelist, Modern Poet, New Journalist, and Editor in Chief.

American Novelist is a warm, ambery fragrance characterized by notes of bergamot, leather, and cedar, evoking a sense of sophistication and depth. Modern Poet, on the other hand, presents an herbal and green profile with notes of matcha, gin, and patchouli, capturing a dreamy and introspective essence. New Journalist offers a more approachable character with its blue, aquatic notes of apple leaf, blue lavender, and sandalwood, making it a versatile scent suitable for various occasions. Finally, Editor-in-Chief delves into the darker side of the fragrance spectrum, boasting bold and spicy notes of clove, labdanum, and tonka bean, perfect for those who seek a commanding and enigmatic presence.

Esquire is not new to exploring new product lines, as highlighted by Michael Sebastian, the brand's editor-in-chief. “Our readers have an insatiable appetite for stories about men’s fragrance and grooming. And we’ve been talking about developing men’s fragrances for years. After the successful launch of our jewelry line, this felt like the right time to do it,” he explained. “It’s the natural next step in creating products that will resonate with our readers.”

"Collaborating with Esquire on this line of fragrances has been rewarding from start to finish," said Hanan Malul, chief executive officer at Michael Malul. "We had the pleasure of diving into Esquire's incredible history, and its inspiring trajectory, to bring it to life through fragrances. The result is something very special that we're excited for people to experience."

The fragrances are currently available for purchase on the Michael Malul website and now on Amazon. Soon, they will expand to major retailers across the United States, making them accessible to a broader audience. This initial offering is just the beginning, with more fragrances expected to be added to the collection in the coming years, ensuring that there's always something new to experience.
