Cartoonist belongs to the Esquire Fragrance Collection, the line Michael Malul makes with the magazine, and was composed by Stephanie Hakes of Givaudan. Its brief is a Sunday morning in an illustrator's studio, sunlight on vinyl and bobbleheads and a faint smell of fruity cereal. Aldehydes, pineapple and mint leaf make a bright start, ginger, geranium and Portlandia give it a spicy floral heart, and cedarwood, elemi and patchouli ground the eau de parfum.
