Note Vanillee M. Micallef for women

I have fallen in love with Note Vanille. I have three small bottles and I'm hoarding those. There is something about this I just can't get over.
This is the M.Micallef which is becoming so hard to find.

I fell in love with this scent the very first time I tried it, and every time I wear it, I fall in love all over again.

Note Vanillée is essentially a multi-layered gourmand, opening with a grand entrance of juicy citruses, and then developing into a smoky, deep, rich caramelized bourbon vanilla with subtle fruity undertones.

The dry down is very smooth and warm, and a real winter scent. It boasts an inherent coziness that seems to envelop me whenever I wear it. The booziness underlies the luxurious vanilla, which is not only comforting, but gives the fragrance a sexy edge.

I'm trying not to use my bottle up too quickly, because of the price tag, which is too high in my opinion, so unfortunately I don't wear it that often.

To be honest, it doesn't last long enough to merit that kind of price...but I couldn't resist buying it, because the scent is THAT good...(while it lasts).

But even if you don't want to spend that kind of money to invest in a full bottle, this is worth a try for any oriental vanilla or gourmand lovers.

This is hands down one of the BEST vanilla fragrances I have ever had a chance to try.
I am wearing my sample right now and I am in a sweet, boozy, slightly smokey vanilla heaven! Like a delicious, sophisticated but strictly grown-up vanilla dessert.
It has serious depth and lasting power. Sillage is not huge but every now and then I get a yummy whiff of this precious elixir as a gentle reminder whispering "I`m still here"
I like my perfumes with rather noticeable sillage so I have decided that to me Note Vanille is a bit too shy to justify the high pricetag, but it is definitely beautiful and seriously worth trying.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful oh the first sniff of this is breathtaking. It is sweet and warm, not coconut beach warm, but dusty orange sunset drowned in mango liquor warm. After a while something spicy-ish, smoky-ish comes through, but only juuuuust to the point where it is interesting, secret and sexy, it stays sweet throughout. The downside is that the lasting power is low. After about 3 hours, most is gone. What lasts is a little vanilla; not bad, but not so special either. On the other hand - this is not something to wear to the office. The only place I can see this fit is a classy, crowded night club. So maybe it shouldn't be expected to last all day long.

wooooaahhh, this one punches straight out with cognac, rum and vanilla, strong and very boozy. Then given a few minutes to settle, a softer chocolate and smokey vanilla aroma come forward, and it is absolutely delectable!
One of the best grown up, natural vanilla scents I have ever had the pleasure of sampling.
Although it is very pricey, the lasting power is seemingly very good, and the sillage is close. I highly recommend this one.

For me one of the best vanilla scents- ever.

Reminds me alot of Ambre Narguile in the top notes. No matter if it's not all listed I find apples, vanilla, amber and cinnamon. At one point I experience it as a less balanced Ambre Narguile with added rum. The rum lifts the composition somewhat by adding an alcoholic edge, as if you had left the Narguile to ferment/brew a little. But I still prefer Narguile at this stage.
Later it has gone from Ambre Narguile into L by Lolita Lempicka, and I start to wonder why i did not find L here sooner. The mysterious apple stays all through the drydown which ends up warmly as L with yeah, added apple.
On second try I find L alot sooner, but then again now I know it's there ;)
Beautiful, and if I hadn't found Narguile first and been a little tired of L, this would be perfect!

Boozy honey vanilla, now housed in a different but equally beautiful bottle- a rectangular bottle with a circle of some sort of shimmery black gems. I always get compliments with this fragrance. This is what I was hoping Guerlain SDV would smell like, but that one was watery and impotent on my skin and this one is fragrant for hours.
I love it with chanel #5 pure parfum, one of my favorite combos!

Citrus vanilla. Not much different than L de Lempicka, except that Lempicka is richer and deeper. This has a crisp edge to the citrus, but it is very same-y to me and doesn't stand out much. I wish I got the boozy edge others are talking about.

M. Micallef is a brand that like to explore gourmand fragrances, giving them a exotic, hot vibe, turning them in fragrances that are sweet, but that are also complex. Note Vanille is the brand take on the creamy, sweet, sexy but also inocent, aroma of vanilla. Note Vanil...le seems to me a sister of Ambre Narguile from Hermés. The overall impression is the same, that delicious hot smell that came from kitchens when sweeties are being cooked. In this case, the delicious aroma is coming from a dessert with vanilla and boozy notes. The Vanilla has a hot, creamy aroma, that ties well with the cognac and rum. These three notes are the most detectable at first, and then you start to have perceptions of what else composes this mouthwatering dessert. There is a creamy bright citrusy at the opening that frames the creamy vanilla. The boozy aspect of the composition fades after some hours at skin and then you detect a smoky sweet cream aroma, that reminds me of benzoin. I don't detect any flower on this one, although they are listed at the composition. Note Vanille is all about vanilla, citruses, smoky benzoin and happy boozy notes. A fragrance to be used in those days when you want something warm that cheers your soul and makes you drool.

I bought this perfume blind from ebay. I am so glad I did this. I received it yesterday. I am a vanilla lover and I was looking for something special. This is one of the most beautifull smells I have ever encountered. It is not a typical vanilla scents. It does not have a common smell, like a cake. Note Vanillee is, on me, a pure, soft, gentle vanilla. I smelled my wrists all day long and I felt the perfume around me.

Oh this reminds me of Ambre narguile. Atleast the stunning opening of it. Warm slightly sweet (SLIGHTLY not sickly!)and a bit boozy. It's complex and takes a lot twists and turns. The opening is quite strong while the drydown becomes more of a skin scent. I love this, I think it's one of THE best vanillas out there! And the best thing about it is that it doesnt smell like icecream, icecreamcone och plasticky syrupy mess like so many vanillas do. This is perfection! And the bottle is gorgeous too.

I got it in winter,longing for Christmas to come...And it is Christmas inside the bottle!Vanilla is overpowering from the beginning,but after sometime it developes as tiramisu-like scent.Enveloping,extremely strong fragrance with edable notes...When you feel like to be eaten alive-go for it.
Use just a tiny bit!Can give you headache if sprayed a lot!

Micallef's are very expensive and they seem like objects of luxury, than serious work of artful perfumery. I do admit that in the start i have dismiss that but after the fourth time i wear it i find it nice (although too pricy).The mandaring opening shows a good quality of materials, sweet tarty and slightly vanillic. For me anything vanilla like ends there. From ther on it's a subtle jasmine scent, that ends in a well classicist sandalwoody end. pretty but not exciting
