Le Parfum Couture M. Micallef

Desirability: Full Bottle


Micallef does sexy beast.

A far cry from the juicy fruity floral scents that I've tried from Micallef so far and I'm totally loving it. Fans of dark roses with some kink would want to try this, it's a sibling of Frederic Malle's Portrait of a Lady, Ex Idolo Thirty-three and the rest of their alluring kind. 

Sweet, spicy, unrepentantly sexy, velvety rose that starts oh so very animalic as if a big cat just rolled in the rose bushes thinking it was catnip. After the animal gets off the trampled flowers, the smell of spiced woods comes in and mingles with the rose scent, becoming a peppery rose and woody scent. In the dry down, the spicy notes become less obvious but the rose and wood notes prevail and are joined by a warm, salty, musky smell that I've come to associate with ambergris. Average projection and longevity was about six hours on me. The black floral lace stocking material covering the heavy glass bottle gives you a bold hint to the va va voom inside.

Not the most awesome music video, but I'm putting this here for the music which goes well with this Micallef. Those who watched Empire Records would remember this one :)
