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!

May be purchased at Parfumerie Nasreen.

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!

Ananda


Martine Micallef

Eau de Parfum

Type: Citrus, Floral, Vanilla

Top Notes: Citron, Cassis, Prune
Heart Notes: Rose, Mimosa, Violet, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine
Base Notes: Vanilla, Mimosa, White Musk

Ananda means *bliss* in sanskrit. 

Ananda is described by the official site: Ananda represents a bouquet of good mood and wonderful feelings.

From fruity top notes to light floral heart notes, descending to a lovely base of vanilla. Moving onward to the addition of more mimosa and finally landing on soft white musk, this parfum "is" bliss, good moods and wonderful feelings. It is fresh, young and carries the promise of wonderful days and nights.

You can find your bottle of this "bliss" at Parfumerie Nasreen.
