Aoud M. Micallef — a 2003 fragrance that needs no introduction. A masculine fragrance from the spicy and wood families. Part of the Collection Exclusifs collection, available as eau de parfum.
It carries a moderate sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. The longevity of this fragrance is moderate — exactly what most occasions call for. Made in France, backed by a long and proud tradition. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Aoud is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of M. Micallef comes through in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
Right at the start you meet delicate floral first note: Rose. This 1 note builds the effect of a living bouquet that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
At the core of development you meet Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, Oud, Saffron and Sandalwood keeping a spicy-aromatic direction.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Floral, Wood and Spicy with each one in a clear role. The profile is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration Middle indicates a stable lasting impression. In diffusion Middle describes the way the scent radiates.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Floral, Spicy and Wood. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Spicy and Wood.
Taken together Aoud sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best experienced on skin.
