The story behind the bottle.
Ananda Dolce by M. Micallef was launched in 2015 and created by perfumers Jean-Claude Astier and Geoffrey Nejman. This floral scent opens with the warmth of almond and peach, drawing you into a heart of almond blossom and white flowers that feels both delicate and enveloping. The base notes of tonka bean, white musk, and amber add a powdery sweetness, creating a fragrance that is at once comforting and sophisticated.
Apply Ananda Dolce to pulse points for a warm, lingering effect. The fragrance's powdery base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time to settle into your skin before heading out.
