EROTICA
Foreplay:
The prelude is spicy fresh and green.
Also surprising, how interesting and already unconventional the prelude seems, since the listing of the top note(s) seems to me to be unexciting at first. However, the prelude in its spicy freshness is in some way (clever?) made in such a way that one somehow already suspects that one or the other surprise will follow.
In the very early top note and in the early heart note, DesirToxic has some similarities to Fusion sacrée obscur, which I find quite terrible, by the way. That this is different with DesirToxic is, for my subjective feeling, simply due to the fact that the aforementioned Fusion sacrée obscur smells like this nuance as a whole fragrance or as a whole composition of fragrances, which, however, in the prelude is surrounded by spice and bitter fruit - or better: is defused.
Still we are in the range spicy-sweet and green.

Nude:
This spicy freshness then actually gradually diminishes and the remaining spiciness is soaked with bitter cool Johanisberry, sweet hemp and bittersweet creamy Tonka bean. Hemp does not go here in the direction of Black Afgano or the cannabis of Il Profvmo. It's herbaceous, but it's just right for me, subliminal.
The currant is further ahead in the fragrance and I was more taken with it. Even described as bitterly cool, the biggest surprise for me was how (meant in perfume language or the general meaning of perfume) little "fruity" the fruitiness of a fruit can smell. And real. To boost the head cinema, imagine smelling a fresh currant that was shock-frozen at that very moment and is just bursting into small individual stones... Likewise, I have never pushed the smell of currants (generally fruit) in the direction of (mysterious-)erotic. Whether it is the currant on its own or the berry in combination with the nuances that surround it, at that time the scent is much darker, bittersweet and quite erotic.
Does it almost evoke the feeling in the late heart and emerging base note that one is spraying it on and a real everyone can only find one attractive and/or alluring with it? Of course it is absolute bullshit but still a feeling of sublimity. At this point one must actually say, hat off, that a fragrance can do something like this (for a short time)!
And it really doesn't smell so unbelievably unique that one would experience the olfactory enlightenment now... But interesting, also a bit weird and apparently quite skilfully composed...
Climax:
The cool currant gets a bit sweeter, vanilla chocolaty support from benzoin and the fragrance itself becomes more balsamic and deeper. The underlying cannabis resin and spices have heated up noticeably and enclose the currant splinters in dark drops. The fragrance changes at that time clearly in the direction of balsamic, resinous, sweetish and the freshness is completely repressed. But he stays green.
Dark green, moist and slightly musty and mossy, the transformation is actually almost complete. Also friends of Animalik could find him at the latest starting from the time at least interesting. However, this is animalic in the fabric softener. Something dirty is wafting lightly, barely perceptible.

Epilogue:
In the foreground the dark chocolaty patchouli has already joined the line and gives the fragrance something earthy. The spicy basic tone now also looks woody.
So he stays the rest of the time:
Balsamic, spicy, woody, bittersweet.
Violet and dark green interfere with each other.
Conclusion on the fragrance:
Has definitely not reinvented the fragrance wheel, but shines through the somewhat weird composition and the sexy Asstrahlung.
To mention this: the durability is rather disappointing, if you look at the price. Possibly slightly better than with the Liquides Imaginaires.

Hello dear people

Today I would like to get rid of once my opinion to this fragrance :)

He has interested me quite a while, but never so much to buy him. Well until I did it then but ;)

First of all, the flacon is very chic, fine and yet somewhat rough by the corners and edges, the color is a very nice blue. Only the sprayer looks a little inferior. But is verschmerzbar.
(To the sprayer and the performance I would like to say something at the end)

To the fragrance, I knew only through descriptions and videos as he smells. When I sprayed him the first time I was still a little surprised.

The first thing you notice shortly after spraying are these fruity, fresh slightly cool blue currants with a grass note. For me very new and to be honest, I did not like it very much at the first tests. In the meantime I like it a lot though. I find it even really really good :)

He is after the opening something spicy by the cinnamon and cardamom but also something fresh slightly cool smells in the background, the fruits are no longer as present as in the opening. So it also remains for quite a while. Also a very nice phase in the really great duft verlauf this perfume offers.

Until he comes in the drydown. Which for me has the best "shaving foam" note so far that I know, the fruits come back, he becomes sweeter, but not just sweet and one-dimensional, he still retains its light freshness, which together with the delicious fruits for me conjures a really nice drydown. Sexy, sweet, with a touch of freshness and masculine. The drydown I like best together with the fruity opening
If you want to make it simple, you could also say it reminds me of Layton, La nuit de Lhomme and Sauvage. (Each with slightly different scent notes)

But that would not do justice to this fragrance. It is a really beautiful perfume. The rating of 8.3 on Parfumo has more than earned. It offers a wonderful duft course, a very individual opening and a great drydown :)

Finally, I would like to mention that the performance is already good, you have to consider that from the spray head after about 15x pumping 1ml is missing.
With an aventus zb one pumps 9x until 1ml is missing.
The Miccalef sprayer is very economical compared to many other fragrances.
So it is recommended with this perfume quiet 1 or 2 times more to spray ;)
So that others also have something of this beautiful fragrance :D
I find him not very adult, but I think everyone, no matter what age could wear this fragrance.
Of course, also for women wearable who like such fragrances, but I persöhnlich find him something more masculine than unisex.

As always does not make me my mistakes after and try before you buy ;)

A special fragrance
Hello everyone,
i have already bought many perfumes, tested and also given away again within the family. This fragrance, I mean the Desirtoxic, has really impressed me. A fragrance that is so pure, sensual and in its base so spicy, can not pass without a trace. Every time I have to smell the place where I applied it. You get the feeling that it's all just perfect. A perfume should fit like a piece of clothing, just to feel good and Desirtoxic fulfills that. Just try it out.
Lg. Jörg

Signature is you?!
Each Parfumo, who has quite a few bottles in his collection, but always looking for the signature fragrance, could perhaps be right here?

I must confess that I have worn no fragrance more often in the last 6 months than this one. He simply steals my senses. A real masterpiece from the house of Micallef. The packaging plus the bottle are real works of art, you have to let the house already.

The sprayer? The is not the best, but here you can just spray a little more.
The scent. Starts off just lovely with a cardamom lemon mix which introduces it perfectly. The fragrance is definitely sweet-spicy no question. The further course of the fragrance makes it slightly green by the hemp but also the currant dances with cinnamon. Yes exactly, a pretty sexy mixture that is excellent.
The drydown is wonderful and as mentioned many times before it leaves this wonderful shaving cream note which is due to the tonka bean with musk?

How fierce is this fragrance please? I think this will be a candidate that will be with me for years as one of my signature scents. It lends itself perfectly to that. In the seasons I would tick everything except summer, although there are exceptions here too. Super round fragrance that is simply what special, although he does not seem after.
Durability was good with me, could be a tad better, but there you can not complain at all. The people in your environment will like him very much, believe me :)

Absolute purchase recommendation also for myself :D

hemp without eating kick & still to bite ;)
age here's no stress
but who is the boss here
within the jewel collection of micallef
the selection is difficult I make a small test
show you three today but do not forget the rest

number 1 - wait for the turn -
the drydown i swear - it will beguile you
boom - and it bangs - from young to old
they stand woody in the forest - when I kick the test
check the technique - hemp without eating kick
this is desirtoxic yeah - mic check one one two

the number 2 - osaito joins in
this citrusy freshness grabs you in a flash
it sizzles in the alcove you take off your hat
and all just kind of like: man is the good

the number 3 - royal vintage is there
without any hype - how could it be otherwise -
when i distribute infos the list is free though -
but comma with me at because the scent makes you high

;)

___________________________________________________________
the wonderful works from the jewel collection by micallef -
rightly the naming of the series if you just look
the beautifully designed flacons look at. not so
dainty as one associates so often with jewelry -
but rather present. and so it is also with the fragrances.

what one can say in my opinion in any case is
that the works definitely do not lack in quality.

with the desir toxic, however, one must urgently drydown
celebrate. while the other two pretty directly their
wonderfully fragrant soul reveal - it is the bluish
candidate is necessary to give the fragrance a little bit of time
until he has combined with the skin - but then you will
simply to bite smell ;)

The opening feels like 2 layered fragrances, with little harmony. The dry-down finds its voice and radiates intrigue until close.

Quite generic/designer-esque (tonka overload). Vibes of creamy artemisia (Papilefiko) and masculine-aromatic (Layton). All-year/date night.

Smells like a niche version of La Nuit de l‘homme by YSL. Better quality and more exclusive smell. Longevity/Projection: 8h/4h
