Rare Micallef perfumes

I see that some of you are interested in finding Micallef perfumes on the net. There is still a lot to discover by Micallef rsp. their house perfumer Jean Claude Astier that is a bit off the beaten track.

Geoffrey Nejman has apparently been busy over the years touring Europe and keeping a good contact to their business customers. Besides the perfumes that you find on their site Micallef is offering a "Private Line": fully customized perfumes, made in small batches on request of perfume shops and other businesses who want to offer their own "signature" perfume.

I use "Private Line - Richard", a gents' perfume made for Beauty Affair in Düsseldorf. It is such a lovely and well-crafted fig perfume that it has become one of my favorites. Unfortunately - discontinued. I have just ordered a bottle of L'Or du Verger Homme by Maison de la Mirabelle. I am curious of how JC Astier has coped with the topic mirabelle plum in a gents' cologne!

So far, we have identified quite a few of those special 'Micallefs'. Often, their availability is limited. Once they are sold off, one cannot take it for granted that the customer orders another batch. Also, some of them are not on sale online. Here is my overview. I hope it will come in handy for you:
