Vanille Patchouli M. Micallef 2017

The other day, while browsing the Micallef homepage this scent caught my eye. Since it was just reduced in price, I thought I could dare to start a sharing. Already the next day it was full and I could send the order. Already after one week I held the sweetheart in my hands and what can I say, I did not regret this blindbuy! :-)

Now for the fragrance:

Right after spraying I think, yes, vanilla with some patchouli and a few spices. But not sweet and heavy or even earthy, but light, subtle, floating. After a few minutes then, - ah, here comes something else! - the tangerine joins in. Also it not sweet and juicy, but rather tart, like the skin.

In the course of time the fragrance becomes softer and velvety. The ylang ylang prevails. It reminds me a little bit of "Ylang in Gold" in terms of structure and scent impression. One could almost think that this is the autumn/winter version.

In the base, the sandalwood gives the fragrance more substance and makes it more and more cuddly. In the background you can perceive the tart tangerine. All in all it envelops you somehow floating, like a very soft scarf or a cuddly woollen blanket.

The durability is enormous, I think it is also perceived by the environment, but never felt as disturbing. I find the fragrance very complex and interesting and at the same time incredibly flattering. Really beautiful! :-)
