M.Micallef Les 4 Saisons: Printemps is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Jean-Claude Astier. Les 4 Saisons: Printemps opens with Bergamot and Pear, settles into a heart of Rose, Raspberry, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Guaiac Wood. M.Micallef's Les 4 Saisons: Printemps carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This is a gorgeous, delicate fruity-rose that's a true crowd-pleaser, but prepare for heartbreak: its moderate performance means it'll be a fleeting affair. Absolutely beautiful while it lasts, but you'll need to reapply to keep the magic going.

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 inoffensive, delicate nature make it suitable for office wear, while the romantic and alluring profile is perfect for dates. It's an easy reach for casual daytime wear, though its delicacy might get lost in very formal settings or during active sports.

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

Printemps opens with a bright, juicy burst of bergamot and sweet pear, quickly introducing a delightful blend of fresh rose petals intertwined with tart blackcurrant and ripe raspberry. As it settles, a soft, creamy base of vanilla and musk emerges, grounded by subtle woody notes of cedar, sandalwood, and guaiac wood, creating a refined and elegant floral fruitiness that feels both clean and comforting.
