    This is a beautiful soft and warm woody fragrance. The problem, however, is it's performance and ephemeral nature. At times I can smell it pretty strongly, but other times I'll press my nose to my wrist and just barely detect it. Maybe it's to do with olfactory fatigue. It seems to completely fade after 5-6 hours, with just a slight vanilla skin scent remaining. It's too bad because when I can smell it, it's incredible. I'll be sampling the fragrances people here have mentioned as similar, including Dark Horse and By the Fireplace, to see if I can find a closely related scent with better performance. Update: Dame Dark Horse is very, very similar to Gaiac. Almost identical, actually. I'm still comparing in terms of performance but I at least know I don't have the same olfactory fatigue issues with Dark Horse--the sillage seems stronger. Not sure if projection or longevity are any better though. It's a bit less delicate of a scent, a little heavier on cloves maybe? Gaiac seems softer in comparison, not just in terms of sillage but the scent itself. I really like Dark Horse and I think I'd recommend it over Gaiac because of the much better price. Great service from Dame too--they offer 5ml samples and sent a bunch of other samples with my order. By the Fireplace is not at all like Gaiac.

    It's a variable clove bomb with subtle vanilla running below the surface and a oddly sweet, woody note that I can only allude to being the gaiac wood. There’s a definite honey vibe to it even though the note is not listed. Amber and hint of vetiver take the sting out of the dominance of the clove and make it very delightful experience that enchants the olfactory senses rather than assaulting them like this much clove can do. The bergamot is non-existent, sorry to say and the jasmine is just barely there in the initial spray but doesn't stay long at all. Overall it’s a subtle elegant fragrance with understated class and a warm and inviting aromatic aroma. Sometimes cozy and snug too but overall downright beautiful. Sillage is only about 2 to 2 1⁄2 feet (as much as I can tell, that’s almost an arms length for me) but leaves a very notable trail that lingers for what seems like ages. Great longevity! After five hours still smells like the first half hour! Only during the sixth hour did it start to dissipate and very slowly at that. 9 out of 10. [Edit] (I AM now addicted completely to this perfume.) Note: Has the amber, honey side to it as Hugo Boss - The Collection: Jasmine and Silk but with a strong clove aroma and just detectable jasmine.

    The purchase that turned me into a guaiac wood fan. And If you love cloves, bonus as this scent is clove dominant during the first hour. A very good vanilla is forward in the composition too. In fact, there is nothing I don't like in this well blended perfume from M. Micallef, from beginning to end, more than 6 hours later when it finally turns to a skin scent. Even though it's not listed as unisex, it is indeed perfect for women. I think it leans slightly feminine if that matters. Sillage stays close, I've never gotten a compliment but I still like it a lot. I'm looking forward to buying it again when the weather gets a little cooler. Edit: Lucky me, I found a gently used 30 ml on eBay, my third bottle. This is for people who are not expecting their perfume to announce their arrival. Projection is non existent but it will stay with you for several hours. Perfect for early Fall weather.

    I originally had this as a sample in a small vial. I liked the scent - it's almost ethereally light with a beautiful fresh cut wood angle. And so I put it into a spray vial that I had, and wow, what a difference! While the scent is still bright and feather light, it also has a sweet, fire smoke aspect. Like tsth mentioned, a cool mountain evening around a campfire. I don't have many FBs, but I think this one is FBW despite the painful price tag. Having said all of that, it still feels as if there is a hole in the composition. I keep thinking '..this would smell fabulous if I added...' So when the bottle gets here, I guess I'm going to be spending a lot of time experimenting. Looking forward to it!

    . Bought the older packaging . I was hoping for something more projecting. Opens up with a lightly soapiness (from the Jasmin???) and then it dries down to the beautiful , charred , woodsy creaminess .Light , creamy guaiac wood, cloves almost gives it a slight bbq wood type smoke but not quite - and the vetiver is smooth and subtle . It’s light wearing enough to wear year round, even perhaps here in Florida . It’s huge like for me . Overall it’s so natural smelling , charred wood but nothing overbearing , with a light “ perfume touch” of the Jasmin. Elegant woody that won’t have you smelling like a fire pit

  • em inglês

    Gaiac is a soft woody scent, perfectly balanced with sweetness and woods,gentle floral notes and a whisper of spice. It wears very close to the skin. While unisex, I found this fairly feminine on me. I like it however it smells almost exactly the same on my skin as EL Sensuous. The poor sillage and lack of staying power of this one don't justify the price at all I feel, but I enjoy it's autumnal presentation and feeling. If this had a bit more oomph I'd be hooked.

  • em inglês

    I have always been curious about this one. I am a huge Gaiac fan, and I love Note Vanille. I finally got my hands on a decant of this little beauty, and I am both pleasantlu unsurprised and totally impressed. I almost swooned at first sniff. I gasped audibly, and said to my not-that-interested partner and son, "OMG it's AMAZING!!!!" I totally love it. Definitely full bottle worthy.

  • em inglês

    What a great scent! Sweet vanilla, woods and clove. Best warn in cold weather. Leans far towards unisex due to the sweetness. This lasts for 10 hours on me, although the sillage is not overpowering. After several hours, the vanilla dies down but the clove stays. Unfortunately the price knocks it down a notch. But I will be keeping a sample in my collection for special occasions.

  • em inglês

    This is my most precious guaic note fragrance. Pure and unadulterated GUAIC!! I could bathe in it. Not overpowering but powerful in a subtle, self-assured way. I liken it to a sweet, powdery wood (if that makes sense). The jasmine is so subtle and the bergamont is not too strong. Luckyscent.com lists these notes for Gaiac: bergamont, jasmine, cloves, gaiac, vetiver, vanilla

  • em inglês

    A stunning vanilla-centric fragrance. Starts with sheer creamy woods to close with a beautiful ambery vanilla, supported by cloves, giving it a light smoky effect. At the intersection of Mona di Orio Vanille and (closer to) Guerlain Lui, but slightly more masculine tha the latter. Possibly one of the best vanilla fragrances I got to smell. Congrats, Micallef!

  • em inglês

    I really like Gaiac for its intense and spicy start, which transitions to a soft, enveloping aroma with a subtle bitterness. Gaiac is long-lasting but not overpowering, leaving a noticeable trail. It is unique and pleasant, kind of difficult to define - not woody, floral, amber, or musky. Suitable for any occasion. Big love.

  • em inglês

    It just feels like the essence extracted from a cinnamon stick soaked in water for weeks. It’s a light and soft woody fragrance that neither leans masculine nor feminine. I find it delicate and refined, and quietly bold at the same time. It’s comforting to my nose, and it seems it could be used for layering.

  • em inglês

    Gaiac as other Micallef's perfume is very noble, even though it is rather a straight smell – smell of the beautiful exotic tree – warm, sweet, a bit herbal. Quite a lot in it also a tasty vanilla. It smells very much exotic and at the same time aristocratically. It like very nice prince.Superb !

  • em inglês

    Ooooh!! Gaiac is very sensual! I love it!!! It's no way masculine on me - not at all. Very feminine!! As another reviewer says, it's definitely for anyone. I think it's gorgeous!!! Beautiful warm rich smoky slightly spicy woods. Gorgeous!!!

  • em inglês

    Exquisite gaiac wood. Soft, warmed by vanilla. Subtle clove and bergamotte give it an excellent light touch. This scent is luxurious, intruiging and calm. I am impressed: love at first encounter. Edit: sillage medium and longevity minimal

  • em inglês

    i"ve got a sample from luckyscent.i understand that how smells guaiac wood. it is exotic.i love it.i think this scent is the member of mankinds roots and deserves huge respect i do not have the heart to spend little tester:)) 10/8,5

  • em inglês

    Beautiful Guaiac wood and cloves. Gaiac is very nicely blended, it is warm and subtle. It is a sweet clove mixed with vanilla and amber, very comforting. It is very masculine. The bottle is beautiful.

  • em inglês

    smells beautiful! just like Dame's Dark Horse ... but Dame is half the price with 5x more sillage. Do yourself a favor and try Dark Horse . Samples are super cheap in US and Canada via the website.

  • em inglês

    warm sweet woody scent. It doesn't last long on me maybe 6 hours max. Unisex Unique smooth and great quality. I love Micallef's shop at Cannes beautiful decoration!

  • em inglês

    The best fragrance ever, but it's feminine i think.

  • em inglês

    Agonising. The smell of frustration. Because this would be very close to my favourite perfume in the whole wide world, ever ... if only the performance matched its beauty. Wearing it is like finding a drop-dead-gorgeous partner, so perfect for you that you can scarcely believe it, and you think "whew, my lifelong search is over" ... until you realise that however unbelievably attractive they are, they just can't keep up with you. I love gaiac wood in more or less anything - that warm, rich, spicy, mellow, let-me-cradle-you aroma never fails to make me happy - and the first 30-60 mins of this are among the most wonderful versions of the accord I've ever sniffed. Unisex-to-femme, in my view (thus gentler and sweeter than many of my other most favoured wood scents), and impeccably classy, with whimper-inducingly delicious tinges of amber and spice. The sweet vanilla and hot cloves are clearly there, but kept well in check so the whole effect never gets over-gourmand or too pushy. Any man or woman could wear it and to more or less any occasion. Never too edgy, never too generic - it walks the tightrope with breathtaking poise. So gorgeous it keeps my nose more or less stuck to my wrist. But - once again, House Micallef raises my hopes, only to dash them to the ground and grind them to dust underneath its callous Frenchy boot. Because as time goes on, this shrinks dramatically in presence and projection; a couple of hours in and it's only a skin scent; 4-5 in and it's more or less completely gone. Zut alors! I could weep. Maybe I'll just sulk. So infuriatingly near to perfection, yet so far from satisfaction as a real-life user. However: if you want to smell like heaven for a brief, gorgeous interlude, give this one a go. ETA: This one haunted me so much that I jumped on a used partial bottle like a crazy animal - and I don't regret it at all, despite the performance. It's sooooo good. Sacred wood, close to heaven. Sprayed on lavishly it can last up to 6h and its beauty deserves every second, third, fourth, nth chances I can give.

    I recently added a bottle of this to my collection. It was a blind buy based on the notes and some of the reviews. I am glad I did. The Initial spray is a soft woods, but quickly a spiciness appears. Although not listed in the notes, I get a distinct pepper note in the opening. Heavy cloves follow the pepper and are tamed just a bit by the jasmine and bergamot. In the dry down, I get a woody / smoky / vanilla vibe that is tempered with a bit of a clean / soapy feel. It is almost like layering CdG's 2 Man and Wonderwood. Overall, Gaiac is beautiful, warm and rich, with a touch of sweet and spicy. It is a very inoffensive scent. Meaning that is fits for all occasions. It works well in a suit and well as in casual attire. I agree with other reviews that has said that Gaiac is more of a unisex scent, even though it is marketed to men. I can easily see a woman pulling off this scent. Bottom line: if you like woody scent, you should try a sample of this and pay no mind to the gender classification. Ladies you should try this as well if you like woody scents.

  • em inglês

    In an effort of finding another gaiac perfume in addition to my favorite Le Labo Gaiac, this was a blind buy based on the name of the perfume. I am very much surprised noone mentioned the resemblance of Gaiac Micallef to the original Theorema Fendi. I still own a small bottle of Theorema and Gaiac is a 100% dupe. I am not saying I do not like Gaiac - I do very much! - as Theorema used to be my signature scent in the past. However I do not understand how two different noses can create two scents so similar. For me this scent is more about vanilla, loads of vanilla. I have hot skin, my colleague is cold-skinned and on her it is more cloves and amber. Unfortunately, I do not feel any gaiac here. To my nose this is more of a feminine scent as it is too sweet.

  • em inglês

    I was expecting something a little more unisex, but this comes across as soft and feminine. It's a sweet, comforting perfume, I get more floral and vanilla than I do wood notes. It sits close to the body and the longevity is superb, more than 8 hours on me. I wish on me that I got more of the spice and wood notes the previous reviewers have mentioned. It's nice, but not what I was looking for in my search for guaiac wood. I wanted something more CDG but this comes across more like the offerings of Parfumerie Generale. EDIT: The longer this sits, only then does a slightly smoky-woodsy part come through. A lovely feminine scent still but that's just my opinion. A safe blind buy.

  • em inglês

    A delicate warm confection of a fragrance. It is a subtle masculine-leaning juice that blends in the central note of the balsamic gaiac wood with a notable vanilla,and slight hints of bergamot, jasmine, cloves, and vetiver. Very tranquil, sensual, and unobtrusive. The perfume is for men with a slightly sweet tooth. It projects softly and lasts long but is very subtle and sweet. It is particularly suitable for wintry days when you want to uplift your mood a bit. Much like a batch of freshly baked cookies, this is a happy and warm concoction that deserves much appreciation. Sweet!

  • em inglês

    As a woman, I would definitely wear it. I actoually did not find it a typical masculine scent, a unisex- more so. It is woody, but soft at the same time, elegant, quiet, warm. Gaiac wood mixed with cloves and left in the heat of a summer day. It is comforting, but also quite professional, clean. An excellent scent, for my liking a bit too close to the skin, I would like it to project more and envelope not only my writs. The staying power could be a bit better, 2/3 hours at most, for this price, is a bit disappointing.

  • em inglês

    Ever wondered what a woody bubble gum would taste like? Well that's it. Very playful, inviting at the beginning with all the sweetness and care free. To me warm cloves, gentle jasmine and tasty vanilla take the leading role in this wonderful composition and everything is glued together by a woody aura. Extremely inoffensive (as long as you like cloves) and quite unisex. However don't expect people to hear you whenever you pop those bubbles you are making. It is a skin scent. I like it.

  • em inglês

    Oh so good damn! I know I've tested this before but I guess no review. Do it now. So intoxicating, a warm woodsy vanilla, not really sweet, just a touch, but definitely festive, clove isn't too empowering it's more about the woods here but, Christmas woods. Not piney, but the kind you get in a freshly cut log that you throw on the fire at xmas kind of way. 10/10 perfume. A touch ambery too and cinnamon. If I didn't have buckets of this genre already I would buy it.

  • em inglês

    if you liked the gaiac note in Bois Vanille by SL (yes, some lucky buggers like me don't just get a candy feel to it ;)) and wished it was more enhanced, then this is the juice to go for. I have had no issues with longevity, it lasts almost all day and pretty strong and persistent for at least a good 7-8 hours. The gaiac smells more wet than dry but that might have something to do with the oceanic climate. It gets softer and sweeter when the temperature rises.

  • em inglês

    Gaiac is a light woody, warm/spicy scent suitable for mild warm weather. It feels totally unisex and safe if you love cloves.. I do! I get vanilla which feels ethereal, lightweigt but present. And beautiful spicy cloves with dominant and delicate guaiac wood. Quite natural smell. These 3 are the dominant notes. There's also mild amber and mild vetiver. Longevity is nice but most of its life stays close to the skin. My only complain..

  • em inglês

    i sample it and i really like i but the problem is the price 30ml= 73 euro is too much if its 70ml or 100ml 73 euro its ok but for only 30 its no go !! about the smell sillage and projection are good also as longevity and the thing why i like it is because the smell is mixed with woody notes and coocnut mmmm 9/10

  • em inglês

    Just got a decant and thought that I've smelled this before. This is very similar to Dame's dark horse, however, I think this is less cloying and more well-rounded than Dame's offering. However, I'm not knocking Dark Horse at all, I love that scent, just saying this tops it.

  • em inglês

    I do not understand why it's not possible to extend the sillage of this spicy and elegant scent! You should use an entire bottle of 30ml (expensive) a day to have a constant smell! Pity because this fragrance is really nice.

  • em inglês

    Very very nice, perfect for the winter months, only the clove is a bit sharp working to my throat.

  • em inglês

    At the opening I have sweet amber Christmas whiffs, vanilla, jasmine, bergamot, tolu balm, abundant cloves and a pastel guajac with cocoa butter. I also have some vetiver but this isn't smoky at all. More towards the gourmant Christmas dessert. It recalls different perfumes, Menhares,A men, Ultraviolet, oriental gourmant, but not exactly niche. Pleasant for keeping the cloves always fresh, comfortable, filed, tame, never dirty or too wet and scratchy, although for me they are the main note after dessert. I would change the name Gajac to Sweet Cloves ;-) Initially more feminine, luminous, a little candied, which improves in the drydown becoming more masculine and peppery, dusty, through a buttery, toasted, mocha. Throughout its development this, it "adjusts" continuously. GOOD, nice trail, I captured compliments with this one but on my skin that hard sweet candy didn't convince me 100%. I repeat: GOOD. but ...

  • em inglês

    i got from my friend.. this scent too standard for me... many designer products using this scent formulas... but the bottle presentation is good... edit = this is really similar with f Black Salvatore feraganno... i just remember it... but this less performance than F black

  • em inglês

    Gaïac opens quite woody and peppery, the gaiac is quite prominent. The scent then becomes softer and rounder, the gaiac still going strong together with the cloves. The drydown is sweet with a hint of white florals. After all notes fade away only iso-e-super remains on my skin. Sillage is soft to moderate, longevity moderate to long. I like how this scent opens with all the woody and spicy notes. Gaiac wood is one of my favorites. The iso-e-super in the drydown, not so much-- so I either re-apply or wash it off. This scent is unisex. All in all, a nice scent. Will use the sample again, not sure if I'll buy a full bottle though. I wish the sillage was a bit stronger.

  • em inglês

    Whenever I smell gaiac wood, I am reminded of its beauty and how well it blends with my chemistry. It's a shame that this note isn't used more often in perfumery. M. Micallef Gaiac is a rather sensual and spicy woods scent. Although marketed for men, it's more unisex than masculine, with a soft jasmine accord in the opening and a smooth vanillary drydown. It's one of those fragrances that you can't help falling in love with. It's the kind of scent that I crave during Autumn, when all the leaves are turning orange and red. The scent also makes me think of a tray of freshly baked spicy cookies, due to its rich, sweet and spicy warmth. Some reviewers have picked up on the slight soapiness brought about by the fresh jasmine accord. While it doesn't smother the spices or the woods, it adds a rather interesting texture to this composition. Due to this clean floral soapiness, I would describe M. Micallef Gaiac as smooth and inoffensive. When applied with a light hand, this fragrance is quite intimate and seductive on the skin, however when sprayed in abandon, it tends to settle more like a loud oriental. I also discovered that the scent varies depending on the weather. This might sound odd, but whenever I wear M. Micallef Gaiac I picture myself as Pocahontas, an exotic Native American woman, very Disney-like in character, running through a lush forest. Perhaps all those years watching Disney films have gone to my head, but if the Disney character or the real Pocahontas ever wore a fragrance, I'd imagine it would smell very similar to M. Micallef Gaiac.

  • em inglês

    Soft, powdery, cozy cloves...this is yummy. To me, totally unisex. I swooned when my husband put it on, but thoroughly enjoyed wearing it myself, as it is pretty powdery and I like powdery. Very subtle sillage -- I didn't smell it on myself much but then got whiffs here and there and thought, "Mmmm I smell good." Totally agree with a previous review comparing this to woody bubble gum. Sampled this approx. 6 months ago and fell in love despite the low sillage and longevity, but didn't love the price. Figured maybe someday I'd ask for it as a gift. Enter....Dame Perfumery Scottsdale Dark Horse. Had a few drops left in the sample vial of Gaiac and did a side by side comparison. Gaiac is much more powdery, to the point that it smells like baby powder when smelled immediately after Dark Horse (although I think this is only when comparing so closely...when I sampled Gaiac on its own I NEVER thought it smelled like baby powder). Dark Horse has something more pungent and assertive in the opening, and retains a more assertive clove note throughout. However, as time goes on, Gaiac feels one-note, whereas Dark Horse settles into something rounder, cozier, maybe more vanillic? Don't know what's up with my skin this time but I can smell just a hint of both the next morning when I put my nose to skin (this never happens to me); I think they may both contain some Iso E Super but Dark Horse feels just a touch less scratchy. Both are lovely in their own right, powder lovers will likely prefer Gaiac. But for my clove and guaiac fix, my money's on Dark Horse.

    غياك هو عطري الأول من ميكاليف من خلاله تعرفت على ميكاليف كشركة منتجة ومصنعة للعطور أول ما بهرني عند استخدام العطر كان نقاء المكونات وجمالها لطالما اقتنيت عطورا تضم خشب الغياك ولكنني أحببت هذه المرة أن أتعرف عليه بشكل أكثر تفصيلا وقربا. وبالفعل يمكنني أن اصف لك خشب الغياك بأنه ليس بقوة أخشاب العود، أو حدة أخشاب الصندل، فهو نوع مختلف يعطيك شعورا بالاسترخاء والهدوء والشعور بالنشوة والتلذذ لمجرد استنشاق رائحتة العطرة. بعيدا عن نوتات العطر: المقدمة: برجموت القلب: ياسمين وقرنفل. القاعدة: خشب الغياك – فيتيفير – العنبر – الفانيلا جاء العطر بشكل مختلف، تداخل المكونات والنوتات أيضا بحسب زعمي أعطى العطر شكلا فريدا من أول وهلة يمكنك أن تدرك أنك أمام عطر ناعم ولكنه رجالي وكلاسيكي أيضا، ولكنه لا يخلو من العصرية، شيء جميل أن يجمع عطر مثل هذه الأوصاف التي قد تبدو متناقضة أو متضادة. العطر بشكل عام ساحر. من هذا النوع الذي يمكنه أن ينقلك في لحظات بعيدا عن عالمك الذي يحيط بك ويأخذك لأي مكان تحبه.... أعتقد أن العطر محمل بزيوت ثقيلة نوعا ما، لذا أراه مناسبا للإستخدام على البشرة مباشرة وليس على الملابس ربما يحتاج لحرارة الجسم لتساعده على التبخر والانتشار (هذه وجهة نظري)، لأنني من خلال التجربة على الملابس لم أجد له أثرا عاليا من ناحية الفوحان والانتشار ولكن عند وضعه مباشرة على بشرة الجلد أعطى إحساسا أقوى وأعمق، ولم يكن له أي تأثير ضار.

    I bought the discovery booklet from the official website. I just love exploring them. The opening is gaiac, it is right there in the opening on my skin, it is gorgeous, strong, woody. There is also a hint of bergamot underneath the woody note. The opening softens as jasmine enters the composition, the gaiac is softer for the jasmine but then jasmine then gradually becomes soft over generous helpings of sweet spicy cloves. There is a hint of vanilla, the fragrance is sweet but not overly so, it is warm, likable, comfortable and cozy. The fragrance morphs into a beautiful vetiver-ambery base. The gaiac is still on my skin dominating the drydown is woody with soft cloves. Ignore that Gaiac is marketed towards men, it is completely unisex, so warm, sweet and woody-women will smell effortlessly sexy when they wear this. It is really nice to wear in this brisk weather today. It lasts almost all day on my skin and sillage is intimate, closer to my body.

  • em inglês

    Guaiacwood being display front and center! Musky, warm, with a touch of warmth and herbaceous sweetness and smokiness from the Gaiac. This to me is the perfect Guaiacwood scent, coming to a close second with Etro Musk - which is very similar to this creation from M. Micallef. I have always feel that Gaiac 10 tends to go a bit soapy in a sort of "generic dog shampoo"-esque in the first few hours, that is why Gaiac is just that superior to me. Definitely a love from the house!

  • em inglês

    A melange of woody notes so light it's transparent, cool, almost mineral. At first it unleashes a transparent veil of palo santo wood, which I think is a synonym for gaiac, with a very faint lemony rosewood and light sandalwood. Then you get the clove and cinnamon. Drydown, I'm getting vanilla-ish benzoin with a faint floral scent like jasmine. From beginning to end, this is very unisex. I also wish it were stronger and lasted longer, but it's magical as it is.

  • em inglês

    At the beginning i thought that i would smell something sharp might be like *oud* obtrusive smell no no.It is a well blended frag and softly done you will enjoy smelling the gaiac wood in a very sophisticated way, smoked vanilla forms magic aura around the fragrance and the clove make it deliciously spicy cause both Vanilla + Clove played off each other very well. Drawbacks : costly & after 2 hrs it stays there but rather close to skin. Thanx for Watching :)

  • em inglês

    An incredibly honest and well crafted spicy/woody composition which strikes me as extremely wearable and balanced. Woods are joined by a remarkable clove note that slightly leans towards the medicinal aroma but never gives the idea of going to the dentist. The drydonw is a comfortable woody/vanilla combo with just a tad of vetiver. Unpretentious but solid, sweet but never cloying, rich but not complex. Moderately powerful. Very, very nice. Rating: 7-7.5/10

  • em inglês

    The smokey sweet guaic wood here is so fine and creamy you can almost taste it. It heads in the direction of a gourmand but it never gets cloying or sticky. Spices from the cloves combined with vanilla and amber works wonders here. It does lean a tad feminine due to the florals, but it is just so well done. Micallef is by far my favorite house. Most of their offerings are extremely well blended, subtle, and simply a work of art. Gaiac is no exception.

  • em inglês

    So I find the Bergomont jasmine and cloves in the opening and mid make it a slightly soapy at first to my nose. Then as it continues to dry down to transforms more to the base notes which are woodsy and vanilla and amber and Gaiac. I was expecting it to be really smoky and woody from the start but so t get much of that. Does not remind me of by the fireplace at all. Overall it’s a nice cold weather fragrance but not a love for me.

  • em inglês

    Such a perfect harmony of sweetness (not cloying), woodiness and spiciness! I'm absolutely in love! Poor longevity? You've got to be kidding! I wore it yesterday and it was felt throughout the day after one morning application only! And without being overbearing. It just made me feel so goooood. Definitely aimed at colder/wetter weathers. The only thing I'm not crazy about here is the bottle which I find too feminine.

  • em inglês

    Unique, sweet and masculine, at first I thought it was for me, and the bottle seduced me into a fb purchase at the Lucky scent store. It turned out to be for a very important man in my life, I gave him the bottle and he wears it to this day. It would probably be wearable for me if I blended it with a vanilla, but I like it better on men I think.

  • em inglês

    Just a bit of a PSA for fans of this fragrance. By mere chance, I just saw on the M. Micallef site that Gaiac is once again available. It’s been reintroduced in their “classics collection” in a different bottle design. Hopefully, this will eventually make it much easier to purchase in the US and elsewhere at more down to earth prices.
