The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2025, Hypnotic Musk by M. Micallef is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance crafted by Thierry Romeo. This composition opens with the vibrant sweetness of raspberry and lychee, balanced by the fresh zing of bergamot. The heart notes of iris and violet add an unexpected depth, while caramel and ginger bring warmth and complexity. It settles into a musky base of vanilla, ambergris, and sandalwood, creating an enveloping embrace that feels both intimate and mysterious.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points for optimal warmth. This fragrance blooms gradually, so it’s best to let it settle into your skin before heading out. It pairs particularly well with warmer evenings and cozy interiors.
