The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Xmas by M. Micallef, launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Jean-Claude Astier, is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for both women and men. The composition opens with the vibrant burst of Red Fruits, leading to a heart of Rose de Mai and White Flowers that creates an air of delicate sweetness. As it settles into the base notes of White Musk and Vanilla, Xmas transforms into a warm and comforting embrace, perfect for the festive season.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points for an immediate burst of freshness. The fragrance's base notes of vanilla and musk will slowly unfold over time, providing warmth throughout the day.
