Gaiac M. Micallef for men

At the beginning i thought that i would smell something sharp might be like *oud* obtrusive smell no no.It is a well blended frag and softly done you will enjoy smelling the gaiac wood in a very sophisticated way, smoked vanilla forms magic aura around the fragrance and the clove make it deliciously spicy cause both Vanilla + Clove played off each other very well.

Drawbacks : costly & after 2 hrs it stays there but rather close to skin. Thanx for Watching :)

غياك
هو عطري الأول من ميكاليف
من خلاله تعرفت على ميكاليف كشركة منتجة ومصنعة للعطور
أول ما بهرني عند استخدام العطر كان نقاء المكونات وجمالها
لطالما اقتنيت عطورا تضم خشب الغياك ولكنني أحببت هذه المرة أن أتعرف عليه بشكل أكثر تفصيلا وقربا.
وبالفعل يمكنني أن اصف لك خشب الغياك بأنه ليس بقوة أخشاب العود، أو حدة أخشاب الصندل، فهو نوع مختلف يعطيك شعورا بالاسترخاء والهدوء والشعور بالنشوة والتلذذ لمجرد استنشاق رائحتة العطرة.
بعيدا عن نوتات العطر:
المقدمة: برجموت
القلب: ياسمين وقرنفل.
القاعدة: خشب الغياك – فيتيفير – العنبر – الفانيلا
جاء العطر بشكل مختلف، تداخل المكونات والنوتات أيضا بحسب زعمي أعطى العطر شكلا فريدا
من أول وهلة يمكنك أن تدرك أنك أمام عطر ناعم ولكنه رجالي وكلاسيكي أيضا، ولكنه لا يخلو من العصرية، شيء جميل أن يجمع عطر مثل هذه الأوصاف التي قد تبدو متناقضة أو متضادة.
العطر بشكل عام ساحر.
من هذا النوع الذي يمكنه أن ينقلك في لحظات بعيدا عن عالمك الذي يحيط بك ويأخذك لأي مكان تحبه....
أعتقد أن العطر محمل بزيوت ثقيلة نوعا ما، لذا أراه مناسبا للإستخدام على البشرة مباشرة وليس على الملابس ربما يحتاج لحرارة الجسم لتساعده على التبخر والانتشار (هذه وجهة نظري)، لأنني من خلال التجربة على الملابس لم أجد له أثرا عاليا من ناحية الفوحان والانتشار ولكن عند وضعه مباشرة على بشرة الجلد أعطى إحساسا أقوى وأعمق، ولم يكن له أي تأثير ضار.

Exquisite gaiac wood.
Soft, warmed by vanilla. Subtle clove and bergamotte give it an excellent light touch.
This scent is luxurious, intruiging and calm.
I am impressed: love at first encounter.

Edit: sillage medium and longevity minimal

Nice niche perfume.

Micallef knows spice (Spicy Him), sweetening and wood, and it comes together well here. I like when the wood is not too vetiver, and not dry chopped wood, or smoky, burned, very resinous or very piney wood. Like in a body lotion with hints of cedar or sandalwood, or like here guaiac.

MG is not a "scent of wood" however, but a perfume. And the difference is that here you have that wonderful addition of spices and sweetening where everything works together to project like a perfume, and you know you are wearing niche perfume from Micallef. I agree with words like sensual and warm too.

Simple idea, very well executed.

warm sweet woody scent. It doesn't last long on me maybe 6 hours max. Unisex Unique smooth and great quality.


I love Micallef's shop at Cannes beautiful decoration!

i sample it and i really like i but the problem is the price
30ml= 73 euro is too much
if its 70ml or 100ml 73 euro its ok
but for only 30 its no go !!

about the smell

sillage and projection are good also as longevity

and the thing why i like it is because the smell is mixed with woody notes and coocnut mmmm

9/10

Whenever I smell gaiac wood, I am reminded of its beauty and how well it blends with my chemistry. It's a shame that this note isn't used more often in perfumery.

M. Micallef Gaiac is a rather sensual and spicy woods scent. Although marketed for men, it's more unisex than masculine, with a soft jasmine accord in the opening and a smooth vanillary drydown. It's one of those fragrances that you can't help falling in love with.

It's the kind of scent that I crave during Autumn, when all the leaves are turning orange and red. The scent also makes me think of a tray of freshly baked spicy cookies, due to its rich, sweet and spicy warmth.

Some reviewers have picked up on the slight soapiness brought about by the fresh jasmine accord. While it doesn't smother the spices or the woods, it adds a rather interesting texture to this composition. Due to this clean floral soapiness, I would describe M. Micallef Gaiac as smooth and inoffensive.

When applied with a light hand, this fragrance is quite intimate and seductive on the skin, however when sprayed in abandon, it tends to settle more like a loud oriental. I also discovered that the scent varies depending on the weather.

This might sound odd, but whenever I wear M. Micallef Gaiac I picture myself as Pocahontas, an exotic Native American woman, very Disney-like in character, running through a lush forest. Perhaps all those years watching Disney films have gone to my head, but if the Disney character or the real Pocahontas ever wore a fragrance, I'd imagine it would smell very similar to M. Micallef Gaiac.

Lovely, soapy wood scent. It lacks the bite of other gaiac scents I've tried, being much softer, fairly sheer, almost comforting. It is a unisex scent: It isn't sweet enough to make it exclusively female nor is it sharp or woody enough to make it only for men. Compulsively sniffable. I really like this one.

I originally had this as a sample in a small vial. I liked the scent - it's almost ethereally light with a beautiful fresh cut wood angle. And so I put it into a spray vial that I had, and wow, what a difference! While the scent is still bright and feather light, it also has a sweet, fire smoke aspect. Like tsth mentioned, a cool mountain evening around a campfire. I don't have many FBs, but I think this one is FBW despite the painful price tag.
Having said all of that, it still feels as if there is a hole in the composition. I keep thinking '..this would smell fabulous if I added...' So when the bottle gets here, I guess I'm going to be spending a lot of time experimenting. Looking forward to it!

For men, 9/10, stays close to the skin, love it with no reservation, lasts 6 hours at a constant level. I went in with a daub of pure essential sandelwood oil and this was what I downselected to, bought it with a passion. I get a two part sense, sandelwood and something crisper on top. No headaches, no unpleasant edges.

An incredibly honest and well crafted spicy/woody composition which strikes me as extremely wearable and balanced. Woods are joined by a remarkable clove note that slightly leans towards the medicinal aroma but never gives the idea of going to the dentist. The drydonw is a comfortable woody/vanilla combo with just a tad of vetiver. Unpretentious but solid, sweet but never cloying, rich but not complex. Moderately powerful. Very, very nice.

Rating: 7-7.5/10

Lovely - warm, sweet & woody, and very much unisex, or even feminine. Unfortunately did not last long enough on me. I felt comfortable wearing it and it didn't shout at me. Mmmm.

This is my most precious guaic note fragrance. Pure and unadulterated GUAIC!! I could bathe in it. Not overpowering but powerful in a subtle, self-assured way. I liken it to a sweet, powdery wood (if that makes sense). The jasmine is so subtle and the bergamont is not too strong.
Luckyscent.com lists these notes for Gaiac:
bergamont, jasmine, cloves, gaiac, vetiver, vanilla

The best fragrance ever, but it's feminine i think.

Unique, sweet and masculine, at first I thought it was for me, and the bottle seduced me into a fb purchase at the Lucky scent store. It turned out to be for a very important man in my life, I gave him the bottle and he wears it to this day. It would probably be wearable for me if I blended it with a vanilla, but I like it better on men I think.

i"ve got a sample from luckyscent.i understand that how smells guaiac wood.
it is exotic.i love it.i think this scent is the member of mankinds roots and deserves huge respect
i do not have the heart to spend little tester:))

10/8,5

Very nice, easy to wear scent. Vanilla note is wearable in this fragrance. It isn't so pushy, so offensive like in other scents. It's typical unisex perfume. Many says that this one is linear - right but i think that this is advantage. Gaiac note is so unique that if you like it you want to feel it all day long

This is my perfect sweet woods fragrance. Cool mountain evening around a campfire. Rich and smooth.

Gaiac as other Micallef's perfume is very noble, even though it is rather a straight smell – smell of the beautiful exotic tree – warm, sweet, a bit herbal. Quite a lot in it also a tasty vanilla. It smells very much exotic and at the same time aristocratically. It like very nice prince.Superb !
