Notorious XO

Name: Notorious XO Eau de Toilette
Brand: M.Micallef

M.Micallef Notorious XO is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Daniela Marty. Notorious XO opens with Cognac, Pepper, and Rainwater, settles into a heart of Leather, Oakmoss, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. M.Micallef's Notorious XO carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some rave about its boozy, leathery depth, while others bemoan its lack of projection and originality. Expect a sophisticated, warm spicy scent that might need a heavy hand on the trigger, especially considering the polarising reports of 'weak' performance.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

The warm, spicy, and sweet gourmand nature, coupled with leather, makes it too heavy for the office and entirely unsuitable for sport. It shines on dates and formal occasions due to its sophisticated profile, but its reported weakness means it could be casual-friendly if sprayed generously.

About

Notorious XO opens with a boozy hit of cognac, sharpened by black pepper and a curious, fresh rainwater note. It deepens into a warm, inviting heart where rich leather intertwines with spicy cardamom and cinnamon, balanced by the creamy sweetness of tonka bean and a hint of earthy oakmoss. The base settles into a comforting embrace of musk and amber, with sweet vanilla and praline adding a soft gourmand touch, grounded by smooth sandalwood.
