M. Micallef Notorious XO – The Scent of Underground Luxury

What if you could bottle the shimmering, high-stakes atmosphere of a private lounge where aged spirits meet the scent of fine leather?

M. Micallef Notorious XO captures the intense, high-contrast atmosphere of a "boozy-oriental" masterpiece. Intoxicating liquors, warm spices, and decadent sweets come together to create a fragrance that feels authoritative, powerful, and undeniably rebellious. Part of the Gourmet collection, Notorious XO is an olfactory tribute to the finer things in life—balancing a rugged, masculine-leaning strength with a creamy, gourmand depth that makes it perfectly unisex for the bold.

This 2ml travel vial offers the ultimate luxury: the ability to experience the "cognac-leather" story of Notorious XO before committing to a full bottle, ensuring your dark, sophisticated signature never leaves your side.

The fragrance opens with a vibrant, awakening rush of aged cognac and black pepper, beautifully balanced by clear watery notes that provide a sophisticated, airy lift to the boozy start.

At the heart, a masterclass in spice and texture unfolds as supple leather and tonka bean intertwine with the subtle, warm elegance of cinnamon, cardamom, and earthy oakmoss. This creates a complex center that feels like a tailored coat against a background of rising warmth.

The base settles into a legendary blend of buttery praline and Madagascar vanilla, supported by golden amber, creamy sandalwood, and white musk. This adds a smooth, powerful warmth that lingers on the skin like a captivating secret.
