Delice

by Jean-Claude Astier

M.Micallef Delice is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jean-Claude Astier. Delice opens with Mandarin, Lemon, and Orange, and settles into a heart of Violet, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon. M.Micallef's Delice carries an Acquired verdict, a oud-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive oud-vanilla scent. It's either a smooth, elegant take on a boozy, spiced treat or a screechy 'mosquito repellent' mess. If you're into oud, give it a sniff; if you're not, definitely proceed with caution.

About

Imagine a rich, sweet journey opening with a burst of bright lemon, mandarin, and orange. This citrus vivacity quickly mellows into a warm, spiced heart of nutmeg and cinnamon, with a hint of violet adding a soft, almost ethereal touch. The base is where the real drama unfolds: a smooth and deep oud, softened by creamy vanilla and a touch of musk, creating a luxurious and complex aroma that's both comforting and mysterious.
