The story behind the bottle.
Les 4 Saisons: Black Sea by M. Micallef was launched in 2005 and crafted by Jean-Claude Astier, known for his ability to blend warmth with complexity. This fragrance opens with a burst of spices like saffron and clove, before settling into the smoky depth of guaiac wood and incense. The base notes of sandalwood, amber, and vanilla create a rich, enveloping warmth that feels both comforting and mysterious.
This fragrance blooms slowly over time, so apply it in thin layers to allow each note to develop. It pairs well with cooler evenings when you want a scent that feels both warm and enveloping.
