Mon Parfum Cristal

So, this will be my first review ever here... I've recently discovered Mon parfum cristal by M.Micallef and I was blown away! I literally cannot believe that nobody is talking about this scent!? I'm shocked 'cause this fragrance is literally the epitome of femininity. it's feminine, sexy, alluring, refined, classy, unique, captivating.. It's very strong and sweet, for ladies that are 25 and above(can't imagine teenage girl wearing this). It screams fall and winter from it but I think it can be also worn in the early spring. More of a night time scent, perfect for a date night, casual wearing - maybe. Gotta test it out ... If I must choose to wear only one perfume for the rest of my life, this would be it. I want to smell like this for the rest of my life. One of the most beautiful and feminine fragrances I've ever smelled (well, alongside with Meliora from Parfums de Marly)! It's an aphrodisiac for men. Short story: When my boyfriend(22), tried that fragrance he literally rolled his eyes into the back of his head and went crazy. I have to say that he tried almost every fragrance I like and consider to be sexy and feminine, but none of those evoked and triggered that kind of reaction he had with Mon parfum cristal...It has arousing effect on men. The first thing popped to my mind when I smell this fragrance are 2 fictional character - Prue Halliwell from Charmed(Shannen Doherty) and Dana Scully from X-files(Gillian Anderson). Don't know why.. I guess maybe 'cause I imagine them to smell like that. I imagine them to smell like Mon parfum Cristal in the Fall/Winter time and like Meliora from PM in the Spring/Summer time. I admire their natural beauty and they are a true 'femme fatale' for me. They both have something mysterious in their look I really like, especially Gillian Anderson. All of that I can relate with Mon parfum cristal which also has the same mysterious vibe around it. So, if you wanna smell like a godess, like the most beautiful, classy woman in the world and if you wanna draw attention of a male population wear this. 😉 I currently own just samples, and few days ago I caught myself acting like Gollum from Lord of the rings when he said 'my precious' to The Ring ... O.o Can't wait to buy a full bottle..... Probably I'll buy 2, just in case they discountinue it... Mon parfum cristal from Micallef and Meliora from PM are literally my favorite fragrances in the entire world.

Rose, amber, vanilla musk with a touch of spice and a touch of a gourmand note, not explicitly detectable as toffee, though. If there is one thing my collection is lacking, it's evening scents. I have a ton of daytime scents and honestly need to add some more formal, nightime scents. To me, this is giving an evening out. This is not an everyday, signature scent. There is something special about this one that I would want to save it for special occasions and formal evenings. This would make a great formal scent for anyone 25+. Oftentimes, evening, special occasion fragrances are often associated with being mature so I'm glad to find one that still feels slightly youthful. I don't think this is going to be for teenage girls going to prom youthful, it's a bit more sophisticated than that, but it feels perfect for that category for women 25-50. With that, if you are 14 and love this, or you are 80 and love this, I say ROCK IT! My first perfume purchase was Chanel Allure when I was 13 so, we like what we like when we like it! This one is really beautiful and my little 1 oz. is perfect for how I envision using this. I think the only time you wouldn't want to wear this would be hot, summer nights and definitely not during the hot, summer days. It doesn't project a ton, but it definitely doesn't feel like a scent you would want to wear in the heat. I really love the musk used here and thank God! Musk is one of those notes that can really ruin a scent for me if I'm not into the type of musk used, it just destroys the whole composition (I'm talking to you Paolo Terenzi!) It's a very clean, white musk here, thankfully, and it provides a nice lift and airy quality to the perfume.

I agree this perfume smells very similar to Jessica Simpson Fancy, as stated by another reviewer below, but less syrupy, no pear, and add roses. But the main idea is the same. The are both VERY sweet gourmand sillage bombs with a similar vibe. I do like Fancy but I own so many more sophisticated and expensive perfumes that I don't wear it ever. So I hesitated on Mon Parfum Cristal a bit because I thought, meh, it seems kinda cheap to me. But then I gave it a proper wear and I really couldn't stop thinking about how good I smelled. So I decided it was worth it after all. I'm not really so into this type of La Vie Est Belle powerhouse sugary gourmand anymore but I think what saves this perfume from going completely overboard into cavity-inducing diabetic coma is the powdery rose which tempers the super sweet notes. Overall I would recommend if you are looking for a powerhouse gourmand with a rosy flair. I got mine at a discounter so I do recommend that. Although I enjoy the scent, I don't think I would have paid full price. Sillage- monster Longevity- solid 6 hours and then skin scent after that EDIT: I am now wearing it several months after my first review, and I am getting much less JS Fancy this time. I reviewed it originally in summer, and now it is winter. So either it's my nose, or the weather definitely has an impact on this scent. Regardless, I'm still enjoying it! Definitely easy to wear, BUT, imho one spray is more than enough, otherwise you will suffocate haha

This is very syrupy-sweet in the opening, I imagine a honey infused rose Turkish delight would taste just like this smells. I much prefer it in the dry-down when the soft vanilla starts coming through. On me there is not a lot of sillage with Mon Parfum Cristal, it sits quite close to my skin and I definitely prefer having the option to sniff it when I want, rather than it overpowering my senses. It's rose dominant, but a nectary rose with the powder sitting very quietly in the background and letting the sweet sugary sappiness side of the flower take center stage. This is definitely one for sweet gourmand lovers. As a final note, I must give some extra points to the packaging and presentation. Vintage elegance like a blend of art nouveau with a touch of Dali. I don't know why I get that really, it's just the best way I could synthetize it: the bottle design as if your hand squeezed it too tightly, the crystals, the white satin pouf, it's all just so dreamy and gorgeous which makes the experience of applying this perfume something from another era.
