Launched in 2016 by M. Micallef, 20 Years is a Floral Fruity fragrance crafted by Jean-Claude Astier. The composition opens with the vibrant zest of exotic fruits and bergamot, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vitality. As it evolves, white rose and orange blossom bring a delicate floral sweetness to the forefront, balanced by the warm spice of nutmeg and artemisia. The base notes of patchouli, caramel, vanilla, and white musk ground the fragrance with a rich and enveloping warmth.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to ensure the exotic fruit and bergamot notes have enough time to bloom. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than from across a room, so aim for pulse points like your wrists and neck.
