The story behind the bottle.
Note Vanillée Nectar, crafted by Paulo de Moraes for M. Micallef and launched in 2023, is a fragrance that balances the warmth of vanilla with the complexity of rum and cognac. The opening notes of citruses and mandarin orange bring a bright freshness, while jasmine adds a floral touch. As it settles into its heart and base, the scent becomes enveloping with vanilla, amber, and sandalwood, creating a warm and spicy embrace that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
Two sprays to each wrist is sufficient for Note Vanillée Nectar. The fragrance opens with bright citrus notes that fade after about an hour, so it’s best applied just before you need its full warmth and depth. This one reads better close to skin than from a distance.
