The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, Note Vanillée by M. Micallef is a creation by perfumer Jean-Claude Astier that balances the warmth of vanilla with an unexpected twist of rum and citrus. The fragrance opens with mandarin orange and citruses, adding a bright freshness before settling into rich notes of jasmine, vanilla, and amber. The base layers of sandalwood and warm spices create a comforting cocoon, making it a scent that feels both familiar and surprising.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for an intimate warmth that builds slowly over time. The citrus notes are fleeting, so layering it with a touch of powder enhances its lasting powdery comfort.
