The scent was built around the idea of looking composed, feeling confident and moving through the city with controlled purpose. Instead of using loud sweetness or heavy woods, Upper East works through clean green fruit, refined aromatics, soft suede texture and warm ambered woods. The verified structure opens with \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e, develops through \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e, and finishes with \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e. This gives the fragrance a chic, dressed-up mood that can feel fresh in the opening and warmer in the dry-down. It is an excellent fit for wearers who enjoy fragrances that suggest refinement, clean confidence and subtle sensuality rather than aggressive projection or sugary excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening combines \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating a first impression that is bright, green, lightly fruity and gently spicy. \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a crisp botanical fruitiness, giving the scent a fresh and slightly leafy character rather than a juicy apple sweetness. \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes citrus shimmer and polish, making the opening feel clean and lifted. \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e adds warmth and a soft spicy contour, bringing depth to the opening without making it heavy. Together, these notes create a city-ready freshness that feels more tailored than casual. The top does not behave like a simple citrus cologne or a sweet fruit spray. It feels controlled, stylish and composed. On warm skin, \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e may soften quickly into the heart, while cooler conditions may preserve the green freshness of \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e and the brightness of \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e for longer. This opening sets the fragrance up as fresh but sophisticated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe middle develops through \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e, which give Upper East its polished and tactile center. \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e brings aromatic cleanliness and a composed, well-groomed quality. It makes the fragrance feel refined rather than loud. \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a green floral nuance with a slightly rosy aromatic edge, linking the freshness of the opening to the warmer base. \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e introduces the smooth texture that makes the heart feel metropolitan and dressed. It is not a rough leather note, nor is it a heavy smoky material. Instead, \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e feels close, elegant and slightly powdery, giving the scent the impression of refined fabric and carefully chosen style. This heart is what separates Upper East from ordinary fresh fruity fragrances. The scent does not simply move from apple and citrus into sweetness. It passes through an aromatic suede stage that feels polished, modern and quietly luxurious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base combines \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing warmth, structure and smoothness. \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the fragrance dry woody definition and keeps the base from becoming overly sweet. It adds a clean structural backbone that pairs naturally with the \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e in the heart. \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes creamy warmth, softening the woods and giving the dry-down a more inviting character. \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e adds glow and depth, creating a warm finish that feels polished rather than heavy. The base is an important correction to shorter descriptions that may simply say cedar, vanilla and amber. The more specific \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e wording helps clarify the dry woody character found in reference listings. Together, the base notes create a comfortable trail that can feel intimate and elegant for several hours, depending on skin hydration, temperature and application. The dry-down remains warm, smooth and composed without turning into a dense gourmand fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete development of Michael Malul Upper East Perfume moves from green citrus spice into aromatic suede and then into warm ambered wood. \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e create a fresh and stylish first impression, giving the scent brightness and movement. \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e then add aromatic polish, while \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e creates the refined tactile center. In the dry-down, \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e add smooth warmth and structure. This progression is what makes Upper East feel metropolitan rather than simply fruity or woody. It starts clean and confident, becomes textured and elegant, then finishes soft and warm. The fragrance does not depend on one loud note. It works through balance: green freshness against spice, aromatics against suede, cedar against vanilla, and amber against polished restraint. That balance makes it easy to wear while still giving the scent a distinctive identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the polished aromatic woody category, Michael Malul Upper East Perfume can be compared with fragrances such as Prada L'Homme, Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum, Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break, YSL La Nuit De L'Homme and Burberry Hero Eau de Parfum. These comparisons help frame the mood rather than identify exact duplicates. Prada L'Homme offers clean dressed-up elegance, Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum provides a smooth modern masculine style, Replica Coffee Break shares cozy lavender softness and YSL La Nuit De L'Homme connects through cardamom warmth. Upper East remains distinct because \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e give the opening crisp polish, \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e create a refined heart, and \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e build the warm finish. It is polished enough for formal settings but relaxed enough for daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply Michael Malul Upper East Perfume to moisturized pulse points and let it dry naturally without rubbing so \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e can open cleanly. One or two sprays work well for daytime, office-adjacent settings, lunches, appointments and polished casual wear. Two or three sprays can suit dinner, date nights, city evenings and social occasions where the warmer base of \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e can develop more fully. A careful mist on suitable clothing may help preserve \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e, though delicate fabrics should be patch-tested first.

This top accord is bright without becoming sporty and refined without becoming stiff. It is ideal for wearers who want freshness that feels more dressed than casual. The opening also makes the fragrance highly versatile because it can fit professional environments, lunches, errands and daytime plans while still hinting at the warmer base. Unlike simple fruity fragrances, the \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the opening structure. Unlike sharp citrus scents, \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e keep the effect smooth and modern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA polished suede aromatic heart:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e form the center of the fragrance and give it a sophisticated texture. \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e brings clean aromatic calm, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e adds green floral polish and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e creates a tactile elegance that feels smooth and dressed. This heart is what makes Upper East feel more refined than a simple apple-citrus fragrance. The suede effect introduces a soft luxury impression without becoming heavy leather. The aromatics keep the scent clean and wearable, while the suede gives it warmth and presence. This balance makes the fragrance useful for business lunches, daytime events, dinner plans and polished casual outfits. It has personality, but the personality is controlled and stylish rather than loud.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA warm cedar vanilla amber base:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e create a dry-down that is smooth, warm and structured. \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e provides clean woodiness and a firm backbone, while \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e adds creamy warmth. \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the finish a glowing softness that feels elegant on skin. This base keeps the fragrance from becoming only fresh or aromatic. It gives Upper East a more intimate and inviting final stage, especially as the \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e continues to blend into the woods. Longevity depends on skin hydration, climate and application, but the base is built to settle into a warm personal trail rather than disappear abruptly. Moisturized skin may retain the \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e longer, while cooler weather can help the woody structure remain clearer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Malul polish with Frank Voelkl craftsmanship:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper East reflects Michael Malul’s approach to wearable storytelling: a scent built around a mood, a place and a sense of personal presentation. Fragrance references list Frank Voelkl as the perfumer, and the structure shows a clear progression from crisp freshness to suede warmth. \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e create a polished beginning, \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e provide the dressed aromatic heart, and \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e create the warm foundation. The result feels modern, composed and easy to wear. It is especially appealing for shoppers who want a fragrance that communicates confidence without smelling aggressive, overly sweet or generic. Upper East feels like a finished outfit in scent form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile for city days and elegant evenings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michael Malul Upper East Perfume is versatile because it has freshness, texture and warmth in balanced amounts. \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e make the opening suitable for daytime, while \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e adds enough warmth to keep it from feeling too casual. \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e create clean aromatic polish, and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e adds refined comfort. The base of \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the fragrance enough depth for dinner, date nights, meetings and formal or semi-formal settings. It can be worn in spring, fall and mild winter conditions, and it works indoors because the scent feels composed rather than overwhelming. This makes it a practical signature for people who want one fragrance to move from workday polish into evening warmth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong value beside clean designer and niche alternatives:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper East offers a compelling choice beside higher-priced clean designer fragrances and more specialized niche suede scents. Prada L'Homme provides polished elegance, YSL La Nuit De L'Homme offers cardamom-driven evening warmth, and Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break gives cozy lavender softness. Upper East stands apart because it combines these ideas into a focused metropolitan structure. \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e create freshness and spice; \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e provide aromatic texture; and \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e create warmth.

The balance of clean brightness, aromatic elegance, suede softness and ambered vanilla makes the scent memorable in a controlled, sophisticated way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 29px !important;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 700 !important;\"\u003eIs it versatile enough for day-to-night wear?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400 !important;\"\u003eMichael Malul Upper East Perfume can move comfortably from daytime into evening because its structure begins fresh and becomes warmer as it develops. During the day, \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e create a bright and polished opening that can work for office settings, lunches, errands, daytime events, travel and smart casual wear. \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e add aromatic cleanliness through the heart, while \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the scent a refined tactile texture. As the fragrance settles, \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e bring more warmth, making the dry-down suitable for dinners, date nights, relaxed formal occasions and evenings out. Its sillage can feel moderate and tasteful when applied carefully, although skin type, weather and spray count can influence projection. One or two sprays are practical for close daytime settings, while an additional spray before evening plans can restore brightness and allow the warm base to feel more noticeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 29px !important;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 700 !important;\"\u003eWhat does Michael Malul Upper East Perfume smell like?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400 !important;\"\u003eMichael Malul Upper East Perfume smells fresh, aromatic, lightly spicy, suede-like, warm, woody and softly sweet. \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e creates a crisp green-fruity opening, while \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the first impression a citrus sparkle. \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a warm spicy effect that makes the opening feel more refined than a simple fresh scent. The heart introduces \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e provides clean aromatic softness, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e gives a green floral nuance and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a smooth tactile layer that feels polished and close to the skin. The base combines \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e gives dry woody structure, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e adds creamy warmth and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e creates a glowing finish. The overall effect is metropolitan and composed rather than sugary or heavy. It feels like a clean, dressed-up fragrance with a warm suede-amber finish, suitable for people who enjoy fresh openings with elegant warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 29px !important;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 700 !important;\"\u003eWhat fragrance smells like Michael Malul Upper East Perfume?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400 !important;\"\u003eFragrances with related aromatic, suede, cardamom, vanilla or polished amber-woody qualities include Prada L'Homme, Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum, Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break, YSL La Nuit De L'Homme and Burberry Hero Eau de Parfum. Prada L'Homme connects through its clean dressed-up elegance and soft refined texture, although its iris focus is different. Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum shares a smooth modern masculine polish with warm depth. Replica Coffee Break connects through lavender comfort and creamy softness, though it has a different coffee-lactonic theme. YSL La Nuit De L'Homme is useful for comparison because of cardamom and elegant evening warmth. Burberry Hero Eau de Parfum offers a woody designer direction with a confident feel. Michael Malul Upper East remains distinctive because \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e create the opening, \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e form the heart, and \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e create its warm polished base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 29px !important;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 700 !important;\"\u003eWhat are good alternatives, dupes, or similar scents to a fragrance I already like?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400 !important;\"\u003eSomeone who enjoys polished aromatic woody fragrances with warm suede or vanilla depth can compare Michael Malul Upper East Perfume with several alternatives. Prada L'Homme is a higher-priced designer reference for clean, dressed-up sophistication, while Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum offers a richer polished masculine profile. YSL La Nuit De L'Homme is a strong comparison for those who enjoy \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e-led evening warmth, and Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break may appeal to wearers who like \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e softness with a cozy dry-down. At more accessible price points, some clean woody vanilla fragrances can provide a related mood, but they may not reproduce the same crisp opening and suede heart. Upper East remains compelling because \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e create brightness, \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e create metropolitan polish, and \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e give the base smooth warmth.

Oily or moisturized skin may hold \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e longer, making the dry-down warmer and smoother. Dry skin may cause \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e to fade more quickly, so applying an unscented moisturizer before spraying can help preserve the opening and heart. Higher body temperature may amplify \u003cstrong\u003eCardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e, making the fragrance feel sweeter and more noticeable. Cooler skin can preserve \u003cstrong\u003eApple Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e for longer, emphasizing the clean and aromatic side. Skin pH may influence whether the \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e feels powdery, leathery, musky or woody. Begin with one or two sprays in close settings and evaluate the scent over several hours before adding more.

The result is bright, but not sporty; fresh, but not watery; and polished, rather than casual. As the fragrance develops, \u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e add aromatic softness, while \u003cstrong\u003eSoft Suede Accord\u003c\/strong\u003e makes the heart smoother and more tactile. \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmber\u003c\/strong\u003e eventually warm the scent in the base. Wearers who want a sharp lemon or grapefruit fragrance may find Upper East softer and warmer than expected, but anyone seeking a fresh opening with city-ready refinement should appreciate the balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 29px !important;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 700 !important;\"\u003eWhy buy Michael Malul Upper East Perfume from GuiltyFragrance.com?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400 !important;\"\u003eBuying Michael Malul Upper East Perfume from GuiltyFragrance.com provides access to a fragrance-focused retailer offering products represented as 100% authentic, free US shipping under current store terms and a 30-day return policy.
