M.Micallef Il Était Une Nuit by Olya Bar©
The holiday season has always been my favorite—a time when the chill in the air feels electric, the sky transforms into a canvas of scattered diamonds, and the world seems to hum with anticipation. But what truly captivates me is the scents of winter: the whisper of pine carried on frosty breezes, the soft curl of smoke from fireplaces, and the undeniable promise of magic yet to come.
I’m a dreamer, and this is my season to fully indulge in all the wonders it brings. M.Micallef perfectly captures that festive spirit with their limited-edition Il Était Une Nuit. From the moment I opened the package, I was entranced—the bottle itself is a masterpiece, cloaked in shimmering gold silk-screened artistry that feels like it belongs in a winter fairytale. This reimagined version of their 2002 fragrance Watch is richer, denser, and wrapped in a nostalgic warmth that evokes snow-covered villages, twinkling stars, and cozy gatherings. It’s a story in scent—a celebration of the heartwarming magic of reunions and the joy of shared traditions.

M.Micallef Il Était Une Nuit opens with the luscious sweetness of candied peaches and plums soaked in brandy, blended with the addictive creaminess of Bourbon vanilla. At its heart is tuberose—a bold, bubblegum-like floral that bursts with nostalgia, paired with a soft, cozy jasmine that feels like the gentle embrace of a snowy evening. The base is pure gourmand indulgence: golden drops of amber, a touch of holiday punch, and velvety vanilla that wraps you in a familiar, delicious hug.

This scent is an olfactory portal to childhood memories and grown-up reveries. It’s the feeling of falling into freshly fallen fluffy mountains of snow to make angels, a moment of magic that makes you want to recreate the innocence of those days. Even after the last spritz, the gilded bottle will remain, a keepsake of the enchantment and limitless possibilities this season brings.
Bravo, M.Micallef—you’ve given us a perfume that is a portal to winter’s enchantment, a Narnia-like journey through a world of magical sensations and timeless wonder.
Notes: peach, plum, jasmine, tuberose, vanilla, white musk, amber.
