M.Micallef Les 4 Saisons: Red Sea is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Jean-Claude Astier. Les 4 Saisons: Red Sea opens with Floral Notes and Neroli, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Rose, Iris, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Sandalwood. M.Micallef's Les 4 Saisons: Red Sea carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive and distinctive, Red Sea is a 'love it or hate it' scent. It promises an exotic journey with an aquatic twist, but some find its unique character leans a bit too close to body odour. Definitely not a blind buy.

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

Red Sea opens with a fresh, somewhat aquatic neroli and floral blend, quickly ushering in a heart of spiced rose and powdery iris. The warmth of cinnamon and clove emerges, hinting at an oriental bazaar by the sea. As it dries down, a soft, woody musk creates a lingering warmth, though some detect a salty, almost cumin-like human undertone, making for a truly peculiar and memorable experience.
