20 Years Eau de Parfum

Twenty years ago, Martine Micallef, Geoffrey Nejman and Jean Claude Astier introduced a brand that would set the high standard for how luxury niche fragrance should look, feel, present and smell. Now, as they celebrate their 20th anniversary, M. Micallef has released a new Les Exclusifs scent inspired by a renewed drive for travel and exploration, a modern gourmand that borrows expertly from M. Micallef's rich history of elegant florals and mouthwatering gourmands, while also incorporating the sophisticated and spicy exoticism that has shown up in their more recent work. The result is a fragrance that sums up the best of what this iconic brand has to offer, while also proving that the wondrous creativity of this team is as fresh as ever. 20 Years opens with precious notes of white rose and transparent jasmine, fresh, lush and romantic, which reveal subtly sweet and herbaceous davana and rich, gorgeous orange blossom. Micallef's signature gourmand touch soon sweeps us away on a tide of delectable caramel, faceted with earthy-sweet patchouli and precious woods, buffered with impossibly creamy vanilla. As lusciously beautiful as the scent is the bottle, which adds a new element to the famous Les Exclusifs design with a subtly reptile-inspired outer cover that evokes change and transformation. Warm, sensual, elegant and complex, 20 Years is a celebration of all that M. Micallef has accomplished, and a sign that the next few decades are more promising still.
