In 2017, M. Micallef introduced Vanille Gaiac — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A unisex fragrance rooted in the wood and gourmet families. One of the scents from the Vanille M. Micallef collection. Available as eau de parfum.
Brand country — France. Vanille Gaiac M. Micallef unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
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
The composition of Vanille Gaiac evolves as a living composition, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The style of M. Micallef is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Wood, Leather and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In the top tier you catch radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Bergamot and Clove.
In the middle phase you sense Guaiac wood, Jasmine and Leather accord holding a velvety sandalwood direction.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Spicy, Wood and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Leather, Sweet, Musk and Drinks.
Taken together Vanille Gaiac reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best understood through real development.
