M. Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE

When at Esxence 2024, I stopped by M. Micallef booth spent some time with M. Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE, which both Steven and I agree is stronger, spicier (Steven feels it leans more masculine) than the original DESIRTOXIC) and has a different olfactive profile. Wear M. Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE when you want to be noticed or when you are dressed to impress. With longevity of 8-10 hours, M. Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE lives up to its name -Michelyn

    Awesome review as always. I been hearing and seeing ads of this fragrance. I’m definitely intrigued. I haven’t tried anything from house yet. Shout out Louisiana here

  • Ramses Perez says:

    I love M. Micallef! I own Note Vanillee and by default it is my favorite as it’s the only one I have but I have samples of Red Colorado and GnTonic and they’re both very excellent fragrances too. I heard ramblings that the original DesirToxic gives a similar vibe/olfactive profile as Layton but this new version looks nothing like the original. Love the blue royal and black hues on the bottle and package. I can see how this it’s more for a night out/dressed up sophisticated ambiance and that’s a great thing. A spicy/sweet and formal fragrance is what my collection is missing. O Feminin came out earlier this year too so M. Micallef is a busy housethese days! I follow cafleurebonofficial on IG and my username is ramses.d.perez. Cheers from USA.

  • Eris.can.swatch.kaos says:

    I enjoyed this review of Desirtoxic l’Intensse as it was thorough and gave a good picture overall of the perfume. I’m interested in trying g this one out. My favorite M. Micaleff fragrance is Ylang in Gold. I live in Oregon.

  • Hawaiianpunch says:

    I always hear positive reviews on this fragrance. Hopefully I will get the chance… Good luck

  • Marc says:

    Great Video Steven. I watched your original video for Desir Toxic and would love to add this beauty to my collection. My favorite is GNTONIC. EU

  • KATHERINE CONCEPCION says:

    Great!!! Beautiful bottle. I enjoyed this review of Desirtoxic l’Intensse. The notes dream very well. This perfumery house is very much mentioned and I have not yet been able to get some of its juices but I hope to try at some point one of its beautiful and unique bottles

  • Jeremi says:

    „The grown up, mature personality” like Steven said really sparked my interest I also loved how Steven described cinnamon and tonka. I don’t really have a favorite M. Micallef fragrance because I never tried this house but 20 Years sounds interesting this perfume also looks like a unique composition. I live in Trzebnica, Poland, EU. I am a follower, my Insta name: insztagramekohoto

  • Ben A says:

    Steven makes this sound wonderful. Complex, formal, saffron, cinnamon, with green notes? Sign me up! I don’t yet have a favorite M. Micallef…so this could be it. I’m in Oklahoma, USA.

  • Gilbert Rodriguez says:

    This one is definitely going to be in my fall collection. Want to try GnTonic this summer too. Beautiful bottles.

  • Dila Rizaeva says:

    Cardamom is one of my favorite notes, as well as favorite spice to use in culinarily. I wonder if it is a prominent note in this perfume.

  • glowup says:

    Funny that I was just looking at this fragrance lol then poof it’s here. Steven’s reviews are always precise and informative. I haven’t tried any scents from this house as of yet but I will.

  • Abdullah says:

    Great Video Steven. I watched your original video for Desir Toxic and would love to add this beauty to my collection.

  • Laurentiu says:

    The bottle is really eye-catchy! I know many people who love M.Micallef’s fragrances, but I do not have much experience with this house. Hopefully, DesirToxic L’Intense would start my journey into the world of M.Micallef.

    Thank you!

  • Steve A says:

    I was taken by the promise of complexity and longevity from the video review. I don’t have a favorite from the house. US

  • bigpapa says:

    Glad that Steven mentioned that the cannabis note is there more for complexity and not a standout note. I’ve smelled a couple fragrances with a prominent cannabis note and weren’t too keen on them. I just wound up selling my bottle of GnTonic and haven’t yet had the chance to sample some of Micallef’s other offerings. Always heard good things about the original DesirToxic. NYC USA

  • INYA says:

    I like that it’s “spicier” and that bottle is gorgeous. I love dark perfume bottles. One of my faves from M Micallef is Glamour. Steven mentioned that it’s earthy. I’m a fan of Saffron. Thanks for another awesome review and draw. Michigan USA

  • Arron_Q says:

    The original Desirtoxic is a hallmark fragrance for me as it was one of the first niche fragrances I tried early in my journey a few years ago. It remains one of my faves from the brand and I’m excited to hear about this new version. The fact Michelyn and Steven find it spicier and more masculine-leaning has me very intrigued as I think some additional spices would really give the profile some nice oomph. Steven spoke about it having a sophisticated and mature edge to it, which also sounds really nice. I love scents like Roja Apex and if this would suit those situations and vibe without being the same, I would be very happy. Best of luck to all. I live in NC, USA.

  • marskee says:

    I’ve been wanting to try this flanker since I first learned about it in a podcast a couple of months ago! Based off of Steven’s review, I am hopeful that the more “mature and sophisticated” vibe this fragrance might bring is what I’ll experience too. His mentioning of how the L’intense might remind one of apex and Sauvage elixir kind of worries me to be frank, because those profiles are rather headache inducing for me but I love the DNA too much from original to disregard trying the L’INTENSE on skin!
    I am writing this comment from Northern CA (around the Fremont area)

  • jlsteckley says:

    A stronger spicier version of the original?! Sign me up! Can’t wait to smell this one!

    From the USA

  • Teresa C says:

    I’m not on instagram, but I am on the other platforms. My favorite Micallef is Gaiac, but this sounds like a nice scent for fancy occasions. The spicy sweet elements Steven mentions make it sounds like a woman can MAYBE wear it, and I do wear mens’ scents for my own pleasure. If it’s too masculine, I ask my man to wear it for me.

  • PerfumesforLife says:

    I am a fan of the original and I wanted to know how the intense changed performance. Steven’s review is spot on describing it as grown up/mature/complex and formal. I love the notes of cinnamon/tonka/saffron.
    my favorite M Micallef is the original desirtoxic but I did not like the performance. I am hoping this new version fixed that issue. Steven said it did. Would love to try it. Boston, USA

  • Starlit12 says:

    Maison Micallef does such amazing fragrances, this one sounds no less. It seems to be a deep and important scent with a top of freshness, and that’s what I find to be most promising.
    I love Black and Ananda from the house.
    EU.

  • WillRhodes says:

    I always love to hear what Steven shares about new releases, and this really sounds like a fragrance I would love to wear on a evening out and presents a classic sophisticated profile that has a maturity to it with its spices and full body. As always the juice with this line presents great longevity and good projection so I wasn’t surprised to hear Steven confirm this. M. Micallef is a house well seasoned in the world of olfactory and surely they’ve created another outstanding perfume here.
    -Chicago

  • ThatMulattoDude says:

    When I heard about the original of this flanker, I was intrigued. This offering has my attention as well. The scent profile Steven so adeptly described is something I’m interested in…a verdant, formal-leaning masculine scent. My key takeaway from Michelyn’s writeup is the longevity. Appreciate the giveaway opportunity. Many blessings from Virginia, USA.

  • YitzR says:

    I enjoyed this review of Desirtoxic l’Intensse as it was thorough and gave a good picture overall of the perfume. I’m interested in trying this one out. Thank you Steven for reviewing this

  • dLin says:

    Firstly, the bottle of M. Micallef fragrances are as striking as always. Great and very informative reviews/intro by both Steven and Michelyn. Overall I got to say that the fragrance sounds incredible in its complexity. No current favorite M. Micallef fragrance but am still discovering their lines. From TX, USA. Following from @dairylll

    I’m one of those people who own original DESIRTOXIC and I’m very much intrigued by how both Michelyn and Steven described L’INTENSE as stronger and bolder than the original, with a different olfactive profile.
    Original DESIRTOXIC i bought because of Gail Gross review on Cafleurebon, to my surprise it’s way sweeter on skin compared to how Gail and most people perceive it . It reminds me of Cardamom and Cinnamon Cassis Cake, or maybe Charlotte Au Cassis . Also marijuana is barely there.
    In the L’INTENSE apparently the cassis is toned down, spices are amped up and there’s added leather and mint … interesting. To me DESIRTOXIC is versatile fragrance, I wear it on different occasions ,but L’INTENSE is more of a dressed up fragrance and because of its bolder nature more suitable for night time ,or colder weather.
    My favorite M. Micallef is Note Vanillée Nectar to me smells like Caramel Pecan Cake , with Rum buttercream , Rum soaked fruits , and Caramel filling with Hennessy buttercream frosting , Pastry Chef in the house.
    My girlfriend also owns Mon Parfum Cristal , not sure why it’s marketed for women only , to me it’s unisex suited for all gourmand lovers.
    Appreciate the introduction, the review and the giveaway campaign

  • Barber82 says:

    DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE picked up my interest with the quality ingredients, longevity, saffron , cardamom in the base, classy fragrance i’d love to have.
    I was not aware of both DESIRTOXIC and DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE , but I know Akowa is one of the most unusual fragrances in my collection. It’s from the same line as the two , and it smells like mix of earthy vetiver, burned orange , cacao and it’s also ambery.I’ve never smelled similar fragrance before.
    I do follow Cafleurebon on IG – @jonathan.finley.barber
    Thanks to all involved

  • N_Il_158 says:

    It has been a pleasure learning about M.Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE from the two adepts Michelyn Camen and Redolessence , and also the path of Martine Micallef from the 2012 interview. Not a lot of people feel the need to create, and it seems like with Martine and her husband Geoffrey Nejman it comes from within. I like how the brand is implementing more classical , and artisanal approaches , instead of futuristic technology.
    I’m a fan of beautiful things, leather fragrances , cinnamon, tonka bean and patchouli, and with DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE I’m envisaging excellence.
    Olya Bar helped me discover and order M.Micallef GNTONIC in her best of the last year, frosted glass bottle, rare aromatic vivacity and gin and tonic cocktail. Wearing GNTONIC is a pleasure and I’m getting noticed during the day, DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE I believe will have the same effect on formal occasions
    Much obliged

  • chamberoflilith says:

    Cardamom is one of my favorite opening notes, and seeing cannabis and black currant makes me think this is extremely close to my recent scent dreams. The mint Steven mentions in his review is something that intrigues me further, I like the idea of a fresh element that brightens the darkness of the spices. The fact that the leather isn’t as prevalent is also a plus. I do like leather, but it’s definitely something that can have a similar feel, from fragrance to fragrance. As I mentioned in my last comment on the other M. Micallef, my favorite scent from the house is Gaiac. Writing from Romania

  • Angel_St_8 says:

    I love what Martine Micallef said in the interview :
    “Creating a perfume starts with a mood and a flash in my mind”
    I have similar approach to work and life ,trying to be creamy positive all the time.
    Michelyn Camen and Redolessence observations on M.Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE are based on nostalgia, elegance and reinterpretations of the classics.
    I’m enthusiastic about the hidden depth of the fragrance , and lingering resonance of unique leather, spices, a bit of sweetness ,cannabis and the top performance.
    I’m in possession of Avant-Garde , really nice tobacco , citruses and wonderful salty-sweet contrast
    Thank you Michelyn Camen and Redolessence for your observations, and of course the generosity
    EU

  • IvanVelikov says:

    Personally I’m looking for not just quality fragrances, but quality fragrances that do perform, I need to be able to catch whiffs of the fragrance I’m wearing for at least a few hours , and I believe M.Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE is right up my alley. Of course I love Steven review, but maybe because i’m a tailor even more what Michelyn said in her captivating intro

    Wear M. Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE when you want to be noticed or when you are dressed to impress. With longevity of 8-10 hours, M. Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE lives up to its name -Michelyn

    Such a good looking bottle too , I’m a fan of the M.Micallef designer , hell of a job again , in my opinion some of the very best looking bottles in the industry.
    Personally I’m glad Steven confirmed DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE is not Tuscan Leather or cannabis heavy type of scent , but something completely different and more complex . I like the balance between different spices, leather and earthy undertones.
    My favorite M.Micallef fragrance is EDENFALLS
    Thank you Michelyn, Steven, M.Micallef

  • Sherin Thomas says:

    I have the OG Desire Toxic. This will be nice change to appreciate patchouli in way that blends with other notes.Solid offering indeed! From PA ,USA

  • Milena_5 says:

    Like many , and I really mean many other brands , Neela Vermeire Creations for example, I also discovered M.Micallef while watching Redolessence videos. He spoke of DESIRTOXIC ~ 3 years ago , and after sampling I just had to buy full bottle.
    Thanks to who else but Redolessence again , but the help of Michelyn Camen i started thinking all kinds of beautiful and mysterious moments , plus I wonder how different is L’INTENSE in comparison to its predecessor , and how it smells ??? Distinct experience if I have to guess .The leather is a good way do make already existing fragrance even better, concentration of spices is kicking in and I believe the L’INTENSE is less fruity because there is quite a bit of sweet and musky cassis in DESIRTOXIC.
    Thank you, and fingers crossed

    Alwasys an amazing description Steven, I just loved this review and i wish I could have it and wear it for the summer time and also by the longevity as you said. I live in an island on the Caribbean, Dominican Republic

    God bless you a lot, Im a big fan

  • Annika says:

    I’m in love with that bottle! It’s so pretty and the juice sounds divine with notes of saffron, lemon, mint, tonka bean and patchouli. I appreciate being able to get a more intense, spicier version of the fragrance, Thorough review as always, Steven, I’ve tried GnTonic before from M Micallef. MD, USA.

  • foreverscents says:

    The saffron, cinnamon, and cardamom opening sounds warm and earthy, and very sophisticated. I’d love to wear this to a formal event. The longevity of the fragrance appeals to me.
    I haven’t tried anything from M. Micallef.

  • Froaderick says:

    Always enjoy Steven’s reviews-straightforward and informative! I appreciate the nod to this being a more “mature” fragrance. It’s not for every day, it’s for being well-dressed for an upscale evening. Love that! The presentation is gorgeous as with the minimalist approach yet bold contrast of electric blue on black. Cheers from Ohio! 🙂

  • TheTara says:

    This sounds like a very sophisticated scent. The cardamom, saffron, and tonka over moss sounds unexpected, and I can definitely understand why Steven considered it more of a cold weather scent. I have not tried any fragrances from this brand, but am curious to do so. Thanks and hello from CO, USA!

  • Tivoli_Bam says:

    I love how the things worked out for Martine Micallef and Geoffrey Nejman, from beauty salons owner and a banker and lab financial manager to successful niche brand owners , I’m glad they took their chances
    I’ve heard M.Micallef praised by many people online, but the first fragrance I’ve smelled was early Spring – GNTONIC refreshing and invigorating vacation time fragrance
    I like M.Micallef approach beautiful bottles , longevity, quality of the fragrances and innovativeness .
    DESIRTOXIC is attractive because how complex it is , with spices , leather , earthy essence , and classy approach , one epic journey I’d like to experience myself
    Thanks a bunch
    EU

  • Phillip_Barkley says:

    I can say, with confidence that M.Micallef is a brand every fragrance lover needs to know, exquisite and alluring creations made by free thinkers with quality ingredients , long lasting on top of that.I no longer live in Paris , still visit once a month and Jovoy is the place where you can find them, including DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE. I have already smelled the fragrance there , and Ms Camen and Mr Gavrielatos other then reviewing the scent also mentioned something quite important – DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE and DESIRTOXIC are definitely not the same, with just different concentration! The bottle are very similar, but L’INTENSE is very strong, much more spicy and I think not as sweet as DESIRTOXIC.
    Leather is one of my favorite notes , so L’INTENSE checks all the boxes. The luxurious leather, spicy richness , and the patchouli drydown are the most attractive parts of the fragrance, together with the beautiful bottle.
    Gourmet is my N1
    Thank you, American living in EU

  • opalbear says:

    Ooh what a concoction!! What a bold and beautiful fragrance. This sounds fantastic. I love a cinnamon and a green fragrance and I can’t think of any that have both?! I only have two by this house, Gaiac and Patchoioi, I love both I just haven’t been able to keep up with all the great releases.
    Grateful for the chance to win – in California.

  • AnasPet says:

    Such a soothing high class reviews !
    Reading Michelyn Camen and Redolessence mini reviews makes me want to try not just DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE but also DESIRTOXIC.
    I do own Aoud Gourmet, my favorite M.Micallef however DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE is completely different fragrance, so daring and enigmatic.
    I’m interested in the rich spicy depth , the leather and dress to impress properties.With or without the edgy parts , the extra flavor of cassis and cannabis enthralling. With DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE I anticipate exceptional encounter
    Thank you kindly, from EU

  • petergigov says:

    DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE checks all the boxes, it’s powerful, smells great and for vain people like me the Michelyn aspect is very important:
    “Wear M.Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE when you want to be noticed or when you are dressed to impress”
    Well that’s a major plus for me, I’ll look for samples right away. Bottle is awesome, I especially like the color scheme. Classy and elegant cardamom, leather and sophisticated grown up, mature personality? Steven nailed it .
    Vanillée Nectar is in my collection , refined and elegant woody and spicy-boozy gourmand , another compliment getter from M.Micallef
    Exciting giveaway, USA

    The bottle looks like a piece of art in itself. I am curious about the fragrance inside. I am happy that you liked it and the way you described it, I think I would enjoy it too! Thanks!!

  • Mira_JJ says:

    I dare to say I’ve never smelled a fragrance like M.Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE before.
    Thanks to the two hosts Michelyn Camen and Redolessence i not only learned how the perfume smells, but was able to make a distinction between the designer fragrances I’m used to , and the world of niche i still know very little about.
    What attracts me in DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE is the abundance of spices, the leather and how much it changes , Redolessence said at certain times it’s sweet, spicy and earthy
    Much appreciated. From EU

  • marla says:

    Earthiness right at the opening, with the spices cinnamon, caffron – one of my favorites, and cardamon – classy and elegant.
    I would love to try it

  • ElenaChiss says:

    Not much experience with this house, although I have heard good things about some of their offerings. Hopefully, I will get to try them myself to see what they are all about. Thank you! Based in the EU.

  • Z R says:

    Very interesting review by Steven – I always appreciate how concise his reviews are. No padding, just the good stuff! Based on his review, I’m interested in both the spice level and the longevity of this fragrance. Also like that it’s more of a “formal occasion” fragrance, those are always good to have. The only Micallef I have is Mon Parfum. I’m in the USA.

  • Gig84 says:

    I’ll have to start with what I already know of M.Micallef , all 3 of their fragrances I know are awesome, the 2 i already own are Note Vanillée Nectar refined high-class gourmand fragrance ,boozy , sweet and playful , and also Aoud Gourmet. The 3rd M.Micallef I know is GNTONIC, the “Summer is finally here” fragrance, I do have plans to buy a bottle for my warm weather island trips 😉
    If I have to summarize the amount of pleasing information from Michelyn and Steven about DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE I’d say that the fragrance is quite complex, something I really like. The leather, tonka , cardamom-cinnamon combo , the longevity and the two impressions of the fragrance are making me believe DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE is suited for both formal and also little black dress, high heels occasions.
    Note Vanillée Nectar is my favorite M.Micallef
    Thanks for the draw

  • Muravei42 says:

    I read the interview like we we suggested and it seems like Martine Micallef and Geoffrey Nejman are currently working their dream job , and that’s so rare. Good to know both were so committed to succeed from the very beginning
    M.Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE is strict dressing maybe a bit daring , created with the intention of making the wearer feel special. It is powerful and novelty leather fragrance, with dark sweetness layers , cinnamon, cannabis essence , don’t think I’ve smelled anything like that before. I now know DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE exudes class with unique 2024 twist.
    EU
    Thank you for the generosity

  • bobi.boj says:

    The Martine Micallef and Geoffrey Nejman family are so opportunistic , i’m glad they didn’t miss the opportuunity to create the house of M. Micallef.
    I can see why Redolessence and Michelyn Camen believe that DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE achieves the “dress to impress” goal pointing out its level of complexity. Noble fragrance and unique olfactory experience I’m sure.
    I find impressive how the perfumer was able to merge elegance and artistry with notes like saffron, patchouli, cardamom and cannabis.
    I do have M.Micallef favorite fragrance – Varseau
    Thanks for the two reviews, and the giveaway
    From EU

  • WaltherP99 says:

    Kudos to Michelyn and Steven for pointing out the differences between DESIRTOXIC and DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE , in my opinion very important notification because DESIRTOXIC is a popular fragrance and someone could order it straight away believing L’INTENSE is just a stronger concentration version, well it’s more than that.
    I’m familiar with both fragrances, and I fully agree that L’INTENSE is stronger and spicier, can’t say the olfactive profile is completely different, more like proposition of ingredients is tweaked , and some notes are added.
    I always buy and wear fragrances for my own pleasure only, compliments are an add-on, and not something I care much about. What I’m actually interested in is the scent itself.
    My skin is really dry, and unlike Michelyn I don’t get 8-10 hours of longevity, what I do get especially in comparison with DESIRTOXIC is other than the spices is added – saffron leading to leathery aspects, the cassis and the musk in L’INTENSE are toned down , and somehow the sweetness is different, in DESIRTOXIC is more fruity, but in L’INTENSE i believe there’s more chocolaty patchouli and something reminds me of licorice.
    Not sure why Steven believes L’INTENSE leans more masculine, like he said the fragrance is warm and sophisticated and to me is suited for all who enjoy classy creations
    I’m familiar with not all , but most M. Micallef fragrances , and if I have to rate my favorite ones:
    1. Delice
    2. Aoud Gourmet/Vanille Aoud
    3. Avant-Garde/ EDENFALLS
    All five fragrances i own, Delice in personalized bottle
    All profiles I already follow, @waltherp99bg
    Thanks a lot

  • mmerline says:

    Micallef’s bottles stand out from the pack; that combination of pattern and texture on an opaque bottle is exceptional design. Michelyn pointed out Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE’s 8-10 hour endurance. Impressive! Steven described the mint note as airy, which is intriguing in the context of a spicy fragrance, and presumably lightens the tonka and earthy base. It’s also an interesting pairing with the cannabis note. Detailed review.

    I’m in the midwest, USA. I haven’t tried any M. Micallef fragrances yet. I follow @cafleurebonoffical as @mmerline.

  • Michael Prince says:

    I loved Steven’s review of Parfums Micallef Desirtoxic L’Intense. It seems to have a similar profile as the original Desirtoxic with it’s herbal, green, and earthy nature that has a unique complexity about it. Steven says it goes in a different direction from the original which I own and love, so I am curious to try this. I am following @cafleurebonoffical on Instagram. My insta name is @michaelprincefragrances My favorite M Micallef fragrance is the original DesirToxic. I am from the USA.

    Hey there
    Just watched Redolessence video review of M.Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE first , and then came to the blog because he invited all his subscribers to go to Cafleurebon, subscribe and enter the giveaway.
    I have a keen interest in DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE because of the cosmopolitan aroma and its level of development , from sweet to spicy to earthy. Love and elegant is what I’m looking for .
    I’m new to M.Micallef
    Thank you kindly EU

  • Petia_OK says:

    Hello
    Captivating introduction, no mistake . I like the straight to the point introduction letting us know M.Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE is strong, spicy and appropriate for all who want to get noticed and/or dressed to impress.
    I like how owners of M.Micallef gave themselves a platform ,using oud since 1997 and developing perfumes with it by mixing both French and Middle Eastern Cultures.
    I’m exposed to niche perfumery, and I’m aware of a few M.Micallef fragrances and own one called Ananda Tchai.
    I find DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE delightful for the saffron and cinnamon on one part , and the premium leather and patchouli on the other.
    Thank you very much EU

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    It’s fascinating how basically all Michelyn and Steven said is falling in line with what Olya said about the industry in her overview of 2023 sharing her Best , perfumes are now more powerful, more nutty brands are making more nostalgic and classy fragrances.
    As for M.Micallef my husband , and I share DESIRTOXIC and I’m very much intrigued by M.Micallef L’INTENSE even though it’s different.
    Can’t go wrong with leather, variety of spices, tonka and pinch of cannabis, yes the fragrance is definitely different but just as good i believe. High class in a bottle.
    Thank you for the opportunity

    I enjoy greatly Redolessence positivity, honestly and friendly approach when reviewing fragrances
    M.Micallef DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE duality is so well-bred, thanks to the 2 reviews I feel enclosed with well dressed people and desire simultaneously. I’m ready for cinnamon and leather, I’m ready for DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE
    Thanks a million

    I read the whole Martine Micallef interview , and my favorite part is , I know it’s a long quote but it’s worth reading

    Creating a perfume starts with a mood and a flash in my mind. It often happens when Geoffrey and I travel and are in changing environments. It is either Geoffrey or myself coming up with the “idea”. Then, Geoffrey goes to the lab and starts to mix with our senior nose the first ingredients. It is a long process. It can take six months and more. And sometime it is done in “no time“. We use the finest ingredients and we do not skimp on ingredients and pay premium costs. It is always a mix of the best natural ingredients and some synthetics which are at highest quality of olfactive values and quality.

    I guess Martine Micallef and her husband Geoffrey Nejman saw the magnitude of oud as ingredient before most, relying on creativity and always using the best natural and synthetic ingredients.
    Like everything in real life some components of DESIRTOXIC L’INTENSE are gentle others relatively ruff, exquisite leather , balanced sweetness and spices I’m looking for the most.
    I happen to own Royal Mango , Vanille Orient and Gourmet. I do believe the first two are now discontinued
    There was a power shortage in the are and all connections were down, I’m a big fan of M.Micallef and I’ll be grateful if you allow me to be a part of the giveaway

    Thanks for the writeup and the video.

    That bottle is stunning – I love the beaten metal look with blue flecks.

    I haven’t had a chance to try this brand or the original fragrance, but the notes sound very interesting. Also interesting that this scent is different from the original (which I am appreciative about).

    This being a formal wearable fragrance, with a cannabis note, makes this all the more interesting.

    Cheers from WI, USA
