M.Micallef Emir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Jean-Claude Astier. Emir opens with Orange and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Geranium, Pepper, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Oud, and Patchouli. M.Micallef's Emir carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A potent, polarising oud that balances fresh citrus and bold spice with deep woods. If you can get past its infamous burnt plastic opening, you'll be rewarded with a rich, masculine scent that doesn't hold back.

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.

About

Emir opens with a vibrant, tangy burst of grapefruit and orange, quickly spiced up by a prominent pepper note. The heart reveals an aromatic blend of geranium and sage, adding a green, slightly floral depth before settling into a powerful, earthy base. Here, rich oud intertwines with cedar, patchouli, and a touch of musk, creating a complex and intensely woody drydown that lingers for hours.
