About
Spiritual by M. Micallef is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. Spiritual was launched in 2018. Top notes are Vanilla, Bergamot, Pink Pepper and Lemon; middle notes are Benzoin, Cedar, Black Currant and Incense; base notes are Vanilla, Patchouli and Amber. The 6th secret of the SECRETS OF LOVE collection appeals to our 6th sense. When the evidence of love knocks on the door of the soul. Deafening, thundering, like the roar of a thunderclap, sheltered in a bottle of art as a pure object of desire, the fragrance opens with a trail of rose berries and bergamot to turn heads and impress. Then, a veil of lightness carried by the clarity of jasmine and the roundness of cedar comforts the senses and exacerbates our sensuality before reaching its paroxysm, marrying the power of the «ambergris, vanilla, benzoin» triptych.The enigmatic olfactory partition intrigues. Both feminine and masculine, Spiritual summons the purest of ingredients assembled with talent to tell a tale about renewal, love fusion and spiritual passion. This communion between two beings is expressed by a perfect balance, by the evidence of a common destiny, a celestial reunion, so to speak of telepathy.Spiritual dresses with the dreams of the one wearing it. Exceeding the divisions of genres, the fragrance sets us free from all codes. Once vaporized, the fragrance comes out of its cage and flies to the 7th heaven : the fantasy territory of the intoxication of our senses.Masterfully closing the Secrets of Love collection which explores the six facets of seduction and love, Spiritual rises into the pure universe of beautiful souls who recognize themselves. Spiritual is dedicated to them !Top notes: pink pepper, bergamot Heart notes: jasmine, cedar Base notes: ambergris, benzoin, vanillaAs an artist giving a masterly and personal interpretation of each of her creations, Martine Micallef has imagined spectacular bottles for this collection, genuine works of art evoking love cages from which fly away - such as the feathers of birds of paradise, six intense and precious fragrances. Each transcribes into a luxurious olfactory score the 6 stages of love. For this collection, Martine Micallef and Geoffrey Nejman have been thinking big: formulas and bottles are generous, innovative, intense, empowering each juice with unparalleled energy ! "Each eau de parfum from the Secrets of Love collection is associated with an encounter, a shared moment with the beloved one" - Martine Micallef. The fragrance is available as a 75ml Eau de Parfum from September 2018.
