HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
DesirToxic by M. Micallef was launched in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Thierry Romeo. This Oriental Spicy fragrance is a bold and layered composition that opens with cardamom and bergamot, creating an aromatic and spicy contrast. The heart of black currant and tonka bean adds a fruity sweetness that balances the spiciness, while the base notes of cannabis, patchouli, musk, and moss lend earthy warmth and depth. This fragrance is neither overly sweet nor too heavy, making it an intriguing choice for those who appreciate complexity.
DesirToxic's cannabis note is subtle but distinctive. Apply two sprays for the full effect; it blooms gradually over an hour. The musk base ensures longevity throughout the day without overpowering.
