Notorious XO is one of M. Micallef’s boldest and most decadent modern releases — a seductive, boozy-gourmand masterpiece that balances deep cocoa, aged spirits, creamy woods, and sensual amber.

It’s rich. It’s intoxicating.
And it’s one of the most addictive warm-skin fragrances the house has ever created.

Opening:

Notorious XO opens with an immediate hit of dark cocoa and warm boozy rum, swirling together like a gourmet dessert served in a dimly lit lounge.

The opening feels:

• rich and velvety

• warm but polished

• sweet without being juvenile

• luxurious from the first breath

Hints of spice, dried fruit, and resinous warmth round out the opening, giving it depth and sophistication.

Heart:

As the scent evolves, the heart reveals a gorgeous blend of:

• tonka bean

• amber resins

• creamy woods

• soft florals in the background

This phase is warm, smooth, and hypnotic, with a sweetness that’s plush and grown-up.
The cocoa remains, but now it’s softened by a warm amber glow and silky woods, creating an aura that’s equal parts edible and elegant.

This is the moment Notorious XO becomes irresistible.

Dry Down:

The dry down settles into a sensual, long-lasting base of:

• amber

• vanilla bean

• cashmere woods

• smoky-soft resins

• skin-like musk

Everything melts together into a golden, decadent warmth that clings to skin for hours.
It becomes smooth, cozy, and seductive — like a chocolate-rum truffle melting over warm skin.

Expect compliments.
Lots of them.

Performance:

Notorious XO performs like a true Micallef gourmand:

• 10–12+ hours longevity

• A rich, inviting scent bubble

• Incredible cling to clothing and evening wear

It’s a powerhouse in colder weather but works beautifully year-round for evening use.

Vibe Check:

• Unisex leaning slightly warm-feminine

• Perfect for nights out, cozy evenings, romantic moments, and luxurious settings

• A must for lovers of cocoa, rum, amber, vanilla, and rich floriental warmth

• The ideal signature for someone who wants to smell edible, elegant, and unforgettable

This is gourmand glamour — never too sweet, always perfectly sophisticated.
