Floral
Micallef

Floral by Micallef is, briefly said, a fairly compelling and "quite-above-decent" floral chypre. Dense and powerful, discreetly masculine thanks to some nice dry, sour and dark nuances which bring Floral almost halfway a chypre and a fougère. A honest and nice-smelling tribute to classic perfumery, with all the standards correctly in place: flowers (humid, rich, well executed), aldehydes, herbs, benzoin, sandalwood, resins, cloves, perhaps lavender... as much good as a bit dull and derivative. But still, as I said, good. The drydown ""falls" a bit on the industrial-camphor side for a while, but it's still decent enough and lasts quite long.

6,5-7/10

An unusual cocktail of spiced florals. The unusually *STRONG* spicy african orange blossoms in this edp really knocks me to the wall with real raw power. Longevity: Very long. Sillage: Very strong. Besides orange blossom, raspberry & fig missing notes are: TOPNOTES: Bergamot, Galbanum. MIDDLE: GERANIUM, ROSE, JASMINE. Base: White musk.
