M.Micallef RedColorado is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Urs Castelletti. RedColorado opens with Birch Leaf, Fir, Bergamot, and Cypress, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Leather and Vanilla. M.Micallef's RedColorado carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Expect a challenging, rugged, masculine forest floor vibe. Some will love its bold, unique character, others will find it just too much. Not for the faint-hearted.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage mean it requires light application for office wear. The bold, rugged profile lends itself well to casual and date nights, particularly in colder weather, while it's less suited for formal events or sport due to its intensity.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

RedColorado plunges you into a dark, smoky forest, heavy with the resinous tang of pine and fir, undercut by the dry, earthy aroma of patchouli and cedar. A rich, almost raw leather note emerges, lending a rugged, animalic depth. Hints of creamy vanilla soften the edges, but this remains a powerful, untamed woody fragrance.
