Passion by M. Micallef is a rich, gourmand oud fragrance with a warm, spicy-sweet core centered on orange, cinnamon, and caramel. It opens with bright citrus and spice before deepening into a cozy, balsamic blend of oud, patchouli, benzoin, and musk. The scent evolves beautifully over time, with initial intensity giving way to a long-lasting, deeply aromatic drydown that feels luxurious and indulgent. It’s particularly well-suited for cold weather, evenings, or special occasions, where its presence stands out without being overwhelming. Many describe it as uniquely festive and deeply personal—some find it reminiscent of a cozy winter night, others compare it to a sensual, creamy gourmand with a distinct Middle Eastern flair. The initial burst can be sharp or slightly abrasive for some, but it mellows into a deeply enjoyable, velvety warmth. The fragrance performs well, with notable longevity and sillage, making it a truly memorable choice for those seeking something bold, opulent, and unapologetically rich.
