The story behind the bottle.
Arabian Diamond by M. Micallef is a Woody Chypre fragrance for men, crafted by the renowned perfumer Jean-Claude Astier. The composition opens with bright bergamot and star anise, creating a fresh spicy contrast to the rich oud at its core. This oud note is layered with rose and ylang-ylang, providing a floral warmth that is further accentuated by resinous sandalwood and musk. The powdery woods and oak moss lend depth and complexity, making it a fragrance that evolves gracefully throughout the day.
Apply this fragrance with two sprays to the pulse points. The fresh spicy top notes are most noticeable in the first hour but give way to the deeper woody and floral accords that last throughout the day. It is best experienced close to the skin rather than diffused into a room.
