The Story

Launched in 2026, Purple Love by M. Micallef is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance crafted by perfumer David Chieze. The composition opens with the bright zest of bergamot and almond, quickly giving way to a heart of ylang-ylang and orange blossom, which adds a soft floral sweetness. This delicate balance is further enhanced by notes of chocolate and rose, before settling into a warm musky base that includes vanilla and madeleine-like undertones. The result is a fragrance that feels both comforting and intriguing, with layers of complexity that keep it engaging throughout the day.

Application Tips

Purple Love has a rich and complex base that blooms over time. Apply it to pulse points for warmth and depth — one or two sprays are enough as the musky and chocolate notes build gradually throughout the day.

The story behind the bottle.

The cozy coziness of curling up with a book on a rainy afternoon, where the scent of warm chocolate and vanilla mingles with soft floral notes.
