One colour: RED

This perfume is complex and very opulent. It is gourmand, but not sweet, sensual but not what you normally call "animalic. "Rouge No. 2" could be meant as an operative term in many ways: the blackcurrant and the tart rouge represent the "red motif" which dominates. To bolster this idea, there is a cleverly constructed accord of jasmine&orchid, a touch of nostalgic violet and a very strong base of amber, vanilla on a fascinating, tenacious, synthetic bed of castoreum. Like the colour red, this is a vibrant, loud fragrance. It smells spectacular. Wear it to any grand event where you want to be noticed. Since it is a very strong fragrance, a little will go a long, long way. The vessel is an added bonus: exquisite (as always with Micallef).

Passion In The Rape Blossom Fields

Oriental floral and sensual animalic is the official fragrance description. Because this is exactly among my searches, let's give it a try. First the nose is thoroughly rinsed with water, hung out the window for a breath of fresh air, then carefully dried off with neutral paper. Now, after the tool is cleansed and prepared and the skin is examined whether any remnants of previous scents are still present, I am ready, all is neutral, set the clock.

Three, Two, One and START.

Will my mental cinema carry me to travel the Orient? But no. Whatever mental impressions are floating in, they surprise me very much. This is a familiar, most intimate and beautiful scent that I enjoy each year. The brain seeks and finds, why wander off into the distance ... of course, it is right here.

Spring, cycling, a sunny warm day. A young couple decides to take their bikes and head out into nature. The freshly shaven, citric sweet smelling young man and his first great love are outdoors. And where? Exactly. Not far from here are these beautiful large yellow fields, more specifically, rape in full bloom. The sweet and honey-like fragrance hovers and radiates in abundance and invites the lovers to rest. Spring fever awakens the senses. A bed in the cornfield? But no, a bed in the intoxicating yellow rape blossom field.

The scent becomes animalic. The smell of sweaty bodies is now mixed with the scent of beautiful, yellow, little blossoms.

The setting sun sinks slowly over the fields and the bicycles are still left standing at the side of the road. The smell of flowers is getting weaker and the smell of passion is becoming stronger. Man, this is endurance. I will just settle for inside my head cinema.

After the animalic smells have lasted for more than two hours, I have become tired. Dealing with this scent, to rest up is almost a doctor's prescription, although the sillage is not particularly strong.

Will this become one of my fragrances? Hard to say. As for the citric lovely scent of rape blossoms in the warming sun, yes, immediately. But the long and animalic dry down is, probably, while engaging, quite too much for me.

Creamy Pineapple Dessert

Today I had the pleasure of testing Rouge No 2 and was very curious about this special little fragrance.

The very first impression was sugary - "Oh no!" I couldn't even finish the thought, then that impression disappeared immediately. At first, it seemed very faint and then came through.
It became vanilla-warm and fruity - and it stayed that way.
It smells creamy and soft for a long time and for me has a hint of sweet pineapple - although I can't really identify it in the fragrance pyramid.
At some point, the scent becomes a bit drier but still warm with a hint of fruity-vanilla sweetness.
In warmth, the fruity aspect comes through stronger for me - meanwhile, a layer of woody warmth has settled underneath. I don't really find it animalistic, but I also don't have a particularly talented perfume nose ;)

The scent is cozy-soft and rounded, all components are perfectly balanced.

In the end, however, it simply doesn't match my taste. Fruity is not necessarily my thing - more apple than pineapple. It doesn't feel as cozy-soft to me as other fragrances nor is it exciting enough to blow me away. I find it pleasant, quite nice, but it just doesn't suit me, and the recurring (not permanent) sweetness bothers me here.

PS: 10% extra because after 5 hours in the base it has really become warm, soft, and very rounded, and the pineapple note has dissipated. However, 5 hours is too long for me.
