M.Micallef Aoud Gourmet is an Eau de Parfum, created by Jean-Claude Astier. Aoud Gourmet opens with Marzipan and Honey, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Virginia Cedarwood, Patchouli, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. M.Micallef's Aoud Gourmet carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, isn't it? Initial oud punch quickly softens into something surprisingly comforting, blending gourmand sweetness with deep woods. It's divisive, but for oud fans, it's a must-try.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate sillage and good longevity make it suitable for evenings out, particularly dates, where its sensual warmth can shine. While some find it too strong for the office, the evolving nature means it can be subtle enough for casual wear, especially in cooler weather.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an unexpected, almost abrasive oud-like hit, swiftly tempered by a rich, syrupy honey and the distinctive, nutty sweetness of marzipan. As it evolves, a smooth, warm blend of Virginia cedar and earthy patchouli emerges, woven with the subtle spice of nutmeg. The dry-down settles into a luxurious, cosy base of cashmere wood, creamy sandalwood, and a soft, lingering musk, with amber adding a golden glow.
