M. Micallef Jewel for Her
Martine Micallef
Nose: Jean Claude Astier
The Jewel Collection
Eau de Parfum
Winter Fragrance: Spicy, woody
Top Notes: Coriander, Cardamom, Bergamote
Heart Notes: Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Rose
Base Notes: Vanilla, Musk, Patchouli
This is an elegant winter fragrance warm and glittering. A fine cashmere or soft wool coat for your senses. Rich and opulent from the top notes to the base notes. Momentarily it was reminiscent of a fragrance I once knew, but upon consideration, Jewel for her is by far better done. However, curious as I was, I looked up the suspected twin to make a fast comparison of fragrance notes only to find three in common. The olfactory senses are odd that way. At this point this fragrance had come into its fullness: spicy and oh so smooth. My rush to compare the two was something that made me laugh out loud at how silly an idea it was that I had on a repeat of something I had worn many years ago, especially since it lacked the prominent orange note the other one had had. Jewel for Her definitely has my vote as one of the best cooler to cold weather fragrances. Guaranteed you will feel classy, yet snug and warm in your new addition for cooler weather. A warm, spicy and glittering jewel!

Mon Parfum
Martine Micallef
Eau de Parfum
Floral, Gourmand
Top Notes: Tangerine, Orange Blossom
Heart Notes: Passion Fruit, Vanilla, Vetyver
Base Notes: Patchouli, Toffy, Musk
Tangerine and orange blossom fruity with a just detectable sweet floral immediately announce their arrival from the bottle quickly followed by the note of passion fruit and I find myself floating above ground. Light hints of vanilla bring this parfum closer to earth and rounds out the next note as it makes its presence known. Vetyver joins our composition moist, woody and balmy at which point I find myself standing on solid ground again. Patchouli further confirms that, yes, I am standing on solid ground and soft musk lends another component of earth just before toffy shows up to keep my feet just an inch over solid ground again.
The Eau de Parfum may be purchased at Parfumerie Nasreen.

Ylang in Gold
Martine Micallef
Eau de Parfum
Top notes: Sage, Rosemary, Artemisia
Heart Notes: Mint, Magnolia, Ylang-Ylang
Base Notes: Coconut, Moss, Musk
This fragrance starts out herbal and quickly moves to the heart adding mint to round out and change the direction from herbal and prepares you for the lovely floral heart. Finally minutes later this unique fragrance moves into its heart of coconut, moss and soft musk.
The best way I can describe this golden gem is, that it is a treat for the senses. It is hypnotic, enthralling to the point that you will lift your wrist to your nose often after the first spray from the bottle just to breathe deeply of this composition. Mint, magnolia and ylang-ylang are absolutely perfect together. Everything finally comes to rest on a final bed of softest white musk. Gold indeed!

APOM Femme (for her)
Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Cologne
Notes: Orange flower, Ylang-Ylang, Cedarwood
Orange flower: fresh and sweetish floral note.
Ylang-Ylang: Delightful sweet, heavenly odor. Rich, floral, sweet and narcotic, aphrodisiac & erotic
Virginia Cedarwood: Clean balsamic, woody odor with a pale undertone of sandalwood.
While the note list is not large, I believe that, the notes used in this fragrance are extra grade in their quality and the amounts of each used was the whole key to this. The nose of Francis Kurkdjian is something to be admired while testing and wearing the fragrances that he creates.
APOM (A Part of Me) is interesting, intriguing and powdery. It is soapy and floral, sweet and woody.
The simple yet lovely fragrance is first all orange blossom flower soon joined by the ylang-ylang, making it headier and slightly soapy. The entire composition is grounded by the Virginia Cedarwood but, does not lose the powdery floral. It is as if all three of these notes are now one new note. Yet another sniff of my skin and I can still detect each one. This is lovely, powdery, slightly floral sweet and lightly woody.
The companies official site describes it as:
APOM, "A Part of Me", a bit of one-self to leave with others. A refined vision of the Orient in a deep and capturing Eau de Parfum.
This fragrance may be purchased at Parfumerie Nasreen

Opus VII
Opus VII
The Library Collection
Eau de Parfum
Galbanum: A gum resin, leafy, green, soft balsamic odor. Fresh or green lift.
Pink Pepper: fruity, floral pepper with a slight nasal punch
Cardamom: spicy floral of the ginger family
Nutmeg: earthy, spicy
Fenugreek: herb smelling sweet as maple syrup or caramel

Olibanum: Tree gum resin. Also called frankincense. Spicy and balsamic, similar to incense
Cypriol: plant or marsh grass, imparts a woody, earthy note. Deep with smoky notes of leather oriental in character.
This is a complex and rich fragrance. Green bursts balmy lifting my spirits while Pink Pepper adds a slight nasal punch along with spicy cardamom and the earthy addition of nutmeg sweetened slightly by fenugreek. Slowly this master creation moves toward the heart notes of argarwood smoke and the woody balsam of ambrox and earthy patchouli. At this point the complex juice is slightly green, smokey woody with its rough edges still smoothed by the ever present fenugreek. Still developing slowly this parfum moves along to its base notes. A leather is detected soft and warm. Oilibanum warm and balsamic can be detected along with the powdery Muscone and Sandalwood. Further enhancing the green notes are the emergence of Cypriol and Costus Root adding green, woody and leathery warmth. After an hour this master creation is complete.
Opus VII is describes by The House of Amouage as:
A green, woody and leather fragrance evoking the juxtaposition of harmony with the intensity of recklessness.
It certainly is in all it's complexity yet is comes together warming up over an hour as it moves along through all the levels and each notes becomes evident then blending smoothly in this unbelievable olfactory journey. Viola, Amouage, once again they have created a master piece to add to their line up of many. What a marvelous creation!

Opus II
Amouage Opus II from the Library Collection
Eau de Parfum
Type: Oriental, Woody
Top Notes: Lavender, Absinth, Pepper, Pink Bay
Heart Notes: Jasmine, Rose, Cinnamon, Cardamom
Base Notes: Cedarwood, Patchouli, Amber, Musk, Frankincense
From the very first moment the top notes are light, green and fresh. In a minute Jasmine is noticeable followed by the spicy Cardamom and Cinnamon. Rose warms up the way that only the house of Amouage can show case an earthy rose! Five minutes later the entire base has made its entrance and joined with these precious notes to complete this beautiful soft, smoky, woody, green Eau de Parfum. First of the base are the Patchouli and Cedarwood, followed by sweet amber deepened into the soft smokey effect of musk and frankincense. All the while the rose is still present, surrounded by a bed of the soft smokey, woody notes to show her off.
Comfortable easy to wear, this fragrance reminds me of sitting on my deck in the summer with the fresh scents of the greens, wild flowers and woods on the hillside behind the moistness of the rushing creek wafting around warmed by the sun. Suddenly I enter the house into the library with the old leather bound books and old parchment paper, sitting on old wooden shelves, to sitting in an over sized comfortable old leather chair. This is the olfactory journey this fragrance takes me on. What will be the description of your olfactory journey. Try this one for yourself.
This eau de parfum may be purchased by the bottle or sample from Parfumerie Nasreen.

Aqua Universalis
Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Eau de Toilette
Notes: Bergamote, Lemon from Sicily, Lily of the Valley, Sweet Mock Orange, Light and Musky Blonde Wood
Bergamote and Sicilian Lemon burst forth mouth watering and citrus. Quickly to join in the composition is the Lily of the Valley which is toned by the citrus notes and tamed by the Sweet Mock Orange note in this fragrance. Heavenly as it is there is still one more note to add to this lovely fresh floral composition is the emergence of Light and Musky Blonde Wood. In a flash it is complete.
This is a clean fragrance with all the sharpness of other clean scents rounded out and smoothed. Very well done and not at all like others claiming fresh, clean, or clean linen etc., all pale in comparison to the mastery of Francis Kurkdjian's Aqua Universalis. This is a fresh, floral and woody fragrance that is easy on the senses. It is clean and classy but never over powering. As the company describes it on their site:
"A fragrance that is quite simply luminous, to be used by everyone, everywhere and at all times. An exquisite sense of freshness in an all purpose Eau de Toilette".
