Parfums M Micallef Art Collection Vanille ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 11 July 2012 13 Comments

Parfums M Micallef Art Collection Vanille

French niche line Parfums M Micallef has launched Art Collection Vanille, with four vanilla-based fragrances:

THE ART COLLECTION VANILLE consists of four fragrances combining the sweetness of vanilla with specific notes of leather, oriental, floral and water fragrance families. This four-movement symphony is written to fulfill individual desires. They are created with the best natural oil of Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar.

Vanille Marine ~ an aquatic fragrance; "An unexpected scent that evokes vanilla covered with sea spray." Notes include lemon, blackcurrant, vanilla, white flowers, benzoin, musk and wood.

Vanille Fleur ~ a floral fragrance; "...reveals a harmonious balance between the rose femininity and the vanilla sensuality." With peach, rose and vanilla.

Vanille Orient ~ an oriental fragrance; "A scent full of attractivity." Featuring vanilla, sandalwood, vanilla flower, musk and amber.

Vanille Cuir ~ a leather fragrance; the notes include mint, bergamot, lavender, cinnamon, cumin, orange blossom, tonka beans, vanilla and cedar.

Parfums M Micallef Art Collection Vanille fragrances are available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    I saw them in my local niche perfume boutique, they introduced them a little while ago. Tried them all, all are sweet, feminine.

        Then it’s high time for you to try a new Micaleff. I personally noticed that Vanille Marine has lesser to do with marine than one would expect.

    I can’t help but wonder how much the Orient will resemble Shalimar, though the cuir sounds like it could be delicious!

      Sounds sweeter than Shalimar, but it isn’t much of a description so who knows.

      Anne, you beat me to it! Hard to imagine a vanilla oriental that doesn’t draw comparisons to Shalimar.

      Can’t decide about the leather, though. Mint with leather? Hard for me to imagine.

    Can’t imagine mint and leather together either. The “orient” sounds interesting, but “attractivity”??? Aaargh.

      Could just swear there is something else with mint & leather, but can’t think of what it is.

        I haven’t tried it but I think I once read Nomad Tea by CDG was somewhat leathery and minty… could that be it? Except for that I have the same feeling that I smelled mint+leather somewhere before and I personally quite like the sound of it ( I would like something like a Mint-leather-bergamot-tea mmmmmhhhh)

    Vanille Marine is not an aquatic fragrance. Vanilla, cream, sweetness – I found it to be quite feminine and cloying in the long run. The first 5 seconds were interesing though
