M. Micallef

Explore 187 M. Micallef fragrances — notes, longevity, sillage and community ratings, matched to how you want to smell. The house dates from 1996, founded by Martine Micallef.

The range is built around woody, powdery and sweet accords. Vanilla and musk appear throughout the catalogue, often joined by jasmine and rose. Citrus notes turn up alongside the dominant themes, adding a bright edge to the softer surroundings.

Wearing a fragrance from this house tends to feel enveloping and close to the skin. The sweetness is tempered by the dryness of the woods, while the powdery facets create a soft finish. The use of jasmine and rose brings a floral weight to the base of vanilla and musk. Ylang in Gold sits within this context of dense, sweet florals and warm materials.
