Description
A woody, spicy fragrance enriched with rich, woody notes will accompany the men’s collection of perfumes by the French niche house of M. Micallef. The new edition was named Style and it belongs to the perfume collection Exclusif. This luxurious fragrance for men was created in Grasse, France, and it reflects true masculine charm and elegance with its composition.
Top notes of the composition will offer a spicy blend of nutmeg, warm and gourmand cinnamon and cardamom, refreshed by luminous and sunny lemon zest. The heart of the composition accentuates floral notes of elegant jasmine and lily of the valley softened with aromatic lavender, while base notes provide us with warmth and precious woody notes of patchouli and sandalwood embraced by a mysterious veil of incense and sensual musk.
Style is available in a glass flacon characteristic of the house of M. Micallef. The flacon is decorated with dark blue crystals and crowned with a silver color stopper. The fragrance is available as 100ml Eau de Parfum.
Style was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Claude Astier.

Another gorgeous spice wood masculine Micallef creation which harkens back to the vintage days of spicy and bold masculine colognes. This perfume blends in notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, lemon, jasmine, lily of the valley, lavender, patchouli, sandalwood, incense and musk to create a juice of pronounced sillage, projection and longevity that just radiates on male skin. This is a bold and beautiful creation that requires a certain sass to carry off and will appeal to men with strong unafraid personalities. Enjoy!

Sort of a like a smoother and more blended Balenciaga Pour Homme type of scent, but since I already have some BPH and this one is so expensive, I can’t imagine buying a bottle.

Dry down smells almost exactly like Lalique Pour Homme. Very nice, classic scent.

First sniff…nice aromatic spicy, but I get a vibe of another perfume tried or owned before…but wich one ???
This is only my first try and sniff from nozzle and only topnotes
Will get back with full review, but itthat first impression caught me !
Update wearing it…
Lovely spicy lavender start with hints of the nuts and cardamon , love cardamon !
It mellows and turn quite feminine in the heart, but as written before , everry note is so well blended you really cant pic a certain note.
The drydown is 2O patch, 5 santal, 25 musks and 50 % incense on me.
It is quite warm and longlasting so very wearable even for the woman lover of unisex scents. Would love this on my man too !
A good swap, thanks Marquisa !

Somehow I don’t find the notes to ever give a real idea of how a Micallef smells! They’re simply too well blended. The notes become one indistinguishable collage that gives more of an overall impression (or mood even) vs. a pyramid of notes.
So, too, with Style. It is hard to get an idea of it other than by reading people’s overall reviews and the comparisons.
I occasionally wear men’s scents but this is STRIKINGLY masculine. Very classic/old-school ‘Style’ 😉 It reminds me of something my dad or even my grandfather wore for special events. That said I’d still really enjoy this on a man (I’m 24)! It does have that undertone of warm nutmeg and cinnamon to freshen it up a bit once it’s well worn into the skin. (Took about an hr for any of those warmer notes to become discernible from the starting point of sheer masculinity on me.)
I’ll test it again but I’m pretty sure this frag. will wear ME and not the other way around. I feel like you’d need a strong jawline and a confident smile to rock this, and I’d love to smell it worn so!

This is my first impression based on a carded sample. This one opens up with predominant patchouli, which reminds me of the one in NRFH. I guess there are different facets of patchouli. It’s unlike the essential oil that I’ve sniffed, which has the same chocolaty vibe you get from PAPHI, TFN and LIDGE.

It’s very good interpretation of the classic theme of 80–90th- softer, balanced, grinded all rough edges and I can say- modernized, so for me this perfume more wearable of the “classic” than some of the lux class, which I does not remember in this moment, or maybe Lalique Pour Homme…?? Perfume with high quality and good lasting power!

GORGEOUS!
It’s funny how some of the men’s fashions of the 1980s such as the ‘mullet’ haircut with, or without, ‘Magnum P.I.’ moustache; white socks, and latterly, those generous ‘MC Hammer’ baggy pants, exist now as comical, retro, museum pieces of sorts that, whilst iconic, might constitute a wanton case of ‘bad choice’ if sported on a first date today unless, perhaps, you are Joe Dirt.
I say ‘funny’, ironically, as parallel to the wonderful costume charades of the 80s was the emergence of some of the most remarkable, sumptuous, and important ‘masculines’ in perfume’s history that still stand head-and-shoulders above most recent fragrances. The list is endless here, though whether the creation was an ‘aromatic fougere’ or a ‘leather-chypre’, nearly all were characterised with the sort of pugilistic structure and impact associated with Mike Tyson!
So it is with ‘Style’: a gorgeous, exquisitely made, ‘woody/leather/oriental’ creation that transported me back to the 1980s: an experience I savoured as if witnessing a 5-star, 2012 revival of a David Mamet play: the language and structure most certainly of its time, but still hugely relevant; gripping, enjoyable, and somehow uplifting.
Stylistically, I was immediately reminded me of that seductive smoky, leathery, tarry chord so dominant in Trussardi’s definitive, vintage, ‘Uomo’. However, ‘Style’ manages to give new life to the former Italian operatic chypre theme by adding a sweeter, sandalwood element that forced me to consider the perfume as an outcome in which the trajectory of Oscar de la Renta’s, robust, ‘Pour Lui’, describes a collision course towards Guerlain’s masterly, ‘Heritage’. However, rather than result in scattered chemical wreckage, ‘Style’ instead emerges as a creation of meticulous, highest quality craftsmanship and serenades its luscious warm opening accord with all the opulence and elegance associated with confidently swaggering along Piccadilly towards a night out at The Ritz. Its crowning achievement, however, is its capacity to soften during the dry-down thus allowing its delectable gentle inner muskiness to unfold.
So, Joe Dirt notwithstanding, whilst forms of 1980s raiment should perhaps be reserved for purposes of fancy-dress, ‘Style’ in this author’s estimation might constitute the perfect accompaniment for those posh Black Tie events and thoroughly recommended for first dates!
One of the very best from this magnificent house. 8-10
