The fragrance Vanille Cuir 2017 by M. Micallef is an olfactory journey launched in 2017. It is part of the legendary Vanille M.
Micallef collection, which brought the brand acclaim for its playful interpretation of vanilla.
Created in the heart of Grasse, France, this unisex fragrance embodies the brand's philosophy of blurring the lines between art and perfumery.
M. Micallef was born in 1996 as the bold dream of artist Martine Micallef and her husband, Geoffrey Nejman. Their goal was to turn the bottle into a canvas and fragrance into an emotion.
Vanille Cuir 2017 is a vivid example of this approach: it combines classic elegance with a bold, contemporary character.
The fragrance belongs to the oriental and leather families, yet has an unexpectedly soft and enveloping character.
Its eau de parfum has a noticeable sillage, leaving behind a warm, slightly smoky trail.
It is the perfect choice for evening outings and cooler seasons, feeling both luxurious and intimate.
The composition unfolds gradually: first come sparkling spices, followed by velvety leather and incense, while the finale reveals sweet yet never cloying vanilla with earthy vetiver accents.
Thanks to its unisex character, the fragrance wears beautifully on both women and men, highlighting the wearer's individuality.
Unisex Vanille Cuir 2017 is for those seeking a balance between gourmand and animalic notes.
It is well suited to a date, a social event, or simply a day when you want to surround yourself with warmth.
Apply it to your wrists and neck—the trail will accompany you throughout the evening, revealing new facets along the way.
If you love Vanille Cuir 2017, consider Davidoff Wood Blend for its woody-leather character, Les Senteurs Gourmandes Incense Oud for lovers of incense and oud, or Selection Excellence No 92, another unisex hit with an oriental character.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
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
Top notes of coriander and saffron create a spicy, slightly bitter opening. At the heart are noble incense and a leather accord, adding depth and sensuality.
The base is a rich blend of amber, Madagascar vanilla, vetiver, and musk—warm, enveloping, with a barely perceptible smoky veil.
