The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024, Il Etait une Nuit by M. Micallef is a Floral Fruity fragrance created by Martine Micallef. This scent begins with the succulent sweetness of plum and peach, leading into a heart of tuberose and jasmine that radiates warmth and sensuality. The base notes of amber, vanilla, and white musk create a powdery, slightly animalic finish that lingers on the skin, making it an intimate and evocative fragrance.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for an intimate warmth that lingers close to your skin. The fruity top notes fade quickly, but the powdery base notes continue to develop throughout the day.
