The story behind the bottle.
DesirToxic L'Intense by M. Micallef is a bold and provocative aromatic-spicy fragrance for both women and men, launched in 2024 under the creative direction of perfumer Thierry Romeo. The composition opens with vibrant bergamot and lemon, balanced by the warmth of cardamom and saffron. As it evolves, black currant and mint add a fresh, fruity contrast to the warm spiciness of cinnamon and cannabis. The base notes of tonka bean, patchouli, musk, moss, ambergris, and benzoin create an enveloping warmth that lingers on the skin.
Apply DesirToxic L'Intense to pulse points for an intense yet balanced experience. The cannabis note is particularly noticeable in the early stages, so two sprays are sufficient to allow the warm base notes to emerge gradually over time.
