Mon Parfum

Though this fragrance is appropriate for a wide range of occasions, I do think this would be an excellent fragrance for comforting someone who is having a bad hallucination. Mon Parfum by Martine Micallef opens with sweet orange fuzz. It smells clean in the way that orange candy smells clean. Though orange is listed in the top notes with passion fruit in the heart, I cannot detect much tartness or acidity in Mon Parfum, and I cannot really detect the passion fruit at all, which is fine with me. It is a perfectly balanced. Almost immediately, the patchouli and vetiver show up to anchor MP and lend it some depth, ensuring that the orange candy cloud won't envelop me or drift away. I find Mon Parfum to be incredibly satisfying. Of the four different samples MM was kind enough to give me, this one is my favorite, after the dark and mysterious Emir. MP is like taking a walk in light fresh snow when you are wearing just the right amount of layers, with occasional hints of moist, nectar-like sweetness drifting up to your nose from the warmth of your scarf. While I wouldn't give it high marks for true to life- smelling notes, I have nothing against synthetic elements (if done tastefully without bitter chemical "aftertaste"). MP never jabs me with any faintly off-putting chemical notes not intended to be part of its personality. When composing a fruit-chuli or similar type of fragrance, I think the chemical aftertaste factor is one of the biggest risks, and Mon Parfum succeeds in avoiding it. Its composition is fluid and seamless, never coming close to cloying. It has moderate sillage and good longevity, and is a light scent, but not really a delicate one. It proclaims: I am happy, just as I am. Now, say it with me: "I AM HAPPY, JUS-...." In the dry down, I am left with a sweet, clean musk that is reminiscent of the dry down in MM's Ananda, though where Ananda's pear-centered fruit opening and formulaic dry down does not leave much of an impression on me overall, Mon Parfum makes me want to reach for it again and again in order to relive that uplifting, fuzzy sweet orange progression.

I am feeling like an idiot and need to spread the word. Fragrantica describes this, by order of importance, as a sweet-patchouli-caramel-woody-citrus. The note breakdown corroborates that, and I'd like to add that there is mandarin orange as top note. I blind bought this and was too swayed by the comments below, making it sound like Mugler's Angel meets NR for Her edt. I must say Fragrantica's description is spot on and, if you know enough fragrances, you will be able to know exactly what it will smell like, and no, it is neither Angel nor for For Her. Guys, this is a fruitchuli, not even that far from Coco Mademoiselle with that orangy citrus top and then vanilla-patchouli at the base. Patchouli is strong and sweet-citrus-fruity. I see how someone could go in the direction of Angel, because of the vetiver-caramel-vanilla axis, but really it is nothing like Angel. Musk is far behind. Where does anybody see For Her here? Mon Parfum is multidimentional, complex, interesting, all notes play well together. Citrus top and patchouli base does tame the sweetness, as we can see in many fruitchoulis. Stay away if you are not into patch. Edit: Eating my words and still feeling like an idiot. I corroborate the positive and rave reviews before me. How addictive, how beautiful. After the initial patchouli blast (which I love), we get this earthy dry nuttiness. Soooo good. A smooth scent, very addictive. It does not lean fruity in the least and it is certainly not sweet. It is unique. I am loving this. Edit #2: Buying a backup of this. Obsessed and terrified it might get discontinued, based on the info on the website.

Gorgeous, one of my personal perfume Holy Grails. Effervescent passion fruit, voluptuous patchouli, Egyptian musk, dusky orange blossom and creamy caramel combine to make a divine scent. It is surprisingly soft and comfortable for a composition with such moody ingredients. This is half fruitchouli and half sensual woody floral musk. The closest comparison I can make is to say that this is the half way point between Angel and Narciso Rodriguez for Her EDT (black bottle) with a good dose of fruitiness thrown in to smooth the transition. If you love either, you will probably at least like this. It is not really a gourmand but there is certainly a sweet, edible almost doughy feel to Mon Parfum. The dry down is a beautiful Egyptian musk, caramelized patchouli and orange blossom that feels not only signature worthy, but very personal. I can understand why this was created as a gift to Martine Micallef. Definitely full bottle worthy. A must smell. Thanks to Christinasegal123 for introducing me to this, it almost immediately became my signature scent! ETA: there is also a note that sometimes appears in this that is very pleasantly reminiscent of soft wax or certain lipsticks. I can't even guess what's causing it apart from skin chemistry. Happily, I love it!

Romance in a bottle. Let's start with its presentation, it's sooo cute! hahaha I don't know how Mon Parfum isn't hyped, its smell could be described as: Angel meets For Her meets Coco Mademoiselle EDP. Three modern classics, btw. How so, Ítalo? When I first smelled Mon Parfum on the bottle, I smelled something with a CM EDP vibe, as soon as I sprayed on my skin, bang, it reminded me of Angel (because of the patchouli, but it's not in your face like the legendary blue star, which I used to hate but I really enjoy now, time is funny, isn't it?) and then it comes to a creamy musky aspect from For Her, maybe it's the vetiver + vanilla + musk combo, and it's also fruity. If I loved? Absolutely! Its performance is excellent but descreet and noticble at the same time, it's not a punch on the nose, it's delicate, intimate, but, man, it lasts! If you like Angel, For Her and Coco Mademoiselle, I dare to say that's an absolute like. Trust me: it's GOOD! The notes are well balanced, the patchouli it's not screamy like Angel's or CM's patchouli, it doesn't bother and it plays a beautiful part on Mon Parfum. A hidden gem, a liquid jewel and an underrated fragrance. Goooorgeous creation.

I am an Angel girl, I love it with passion and one of the lucky ones that Angel loves right back! It is my signature scent and is the most complimented perfume in my collection. Having said that, I see why everyone thinks of Angel, and it reminds me a bit of it too. But I think it is closer to Innocent (also by TM) the forgotten sister of Angel, or as others have mentioned Bond's Nuit de Noho, both of which I also own and adore. Little FYI, Innocent (1999) precedes Nuits de Noho (2003). It may have the same DNA, but it stands on its own, this is not a dupe for any of them. It is beautiful in its own right, it is a mixture between fresh and sweet. Not acuatic fresh, but still gives a fresh vibe. And the sweetness is delicious but not cloying or diabetic inducing. Mon Parfum is a delicious albeit restrained perfume, it is definitely signature material. It is very well balanced and versatile for every occasion, it would feel just as good going grocery shopping as it would be going to a black tie event, all year round. I really do love this perfume! It will definitely be part of my permanent collection 😁👍

An absolutely beautiful gem of a fragrance! I blind bought this based on the notes and the reviews and I am in love with this fragrance. The initial spray you get all the notes at once and for those who don't like patchouli, I can see how they might judge this fragrance quickly. The fragrance then develops beautifully on my skin and I get the mandarin and orange flower smoothing out the stronger notes. This is perfectly blended and the notes dance around and create a feminine and elegant scent aura. Don't even get me started on the dry down 😍! It is creamy, caramel, vanilla, vetiver, patchouli, perfectly balanced goodness. I'm constantly torn between wanting to spray it again to get the top notes and wanting the journey of all the phases and the delicious dry down. I understand the comparison to Angel (and love Angel), but this very much stands on its own. I got a 30ml bottle directly from the M. Micallef website and I wish they had 100ml bottles available because this is backup bottle worthy and full bottle worthy. 10/10 😍❤

Another take on MON PARFUM: the more I wear it, the more I see that I need it in my life. Today it does not smell like ANGEL to me, it is more similar to... surprisingly enough, NARCISO RODRIGUEZ FOR HER (EDT). Oh, this sexy, clean, sultry musk of NR, how I enjoy it! People who, like me, have been enamored with the black NR for years, might find themselves craving MON PARFUM like crazy! If we compare perfumes here, I would say that MON PARFUM is an amazingly successful crossover between Angel and NR. It is sweeter, much more gourmand and more "femme" than NR and lighter and more wearable than Angel. I love the slightly tacky bottle, the colors, the sparkling particles... the packaging fits its contents like а glove.

Well, for a gourmand lover like me it's almost impossible to not fall in love upon the opening of MON PARFUM. It is strikingly similar to TM ANGEL, just without all the stench (I do like Angel, just cannot wear it). I even get the same strange olfactory illusion from this that I do from Angel. As far as I know I'm the only person who feels salty freshness in ANGEL: it has a literal smell of seashore to me. Yeah, loads of patchouli, honey, caramel, cotton candy and salty sea waves! Here they are in MON PARFUM as well. Caramel, fruits, patchouli, citruses, musk and sea. It's a wonderful scent, and much more wearable than its "parent", but still dreadfully unoriginal. And yes, I would love to have it :)

I wear perfume for me BUT it makes me a little sad when my partner doesn’t really like my perfume. This is literally the very first perfume that we can both agree is a “love”! This checks all of my boxes - sweet, creamy, slightly fruity, a little earthy, vanillic, and very feminine. Some have described it as fresh and clean but I find the musk and patchouli make it sexy and even a little bit dirty, in the best possible way. Somewhat linear, suitable for all seasons. The ONLY perfume I keep a back up bottle of. And yes, it does smell a little like Angel - but in a much more polite and wearable category.

M. Micallef Mon Parfum is the fragrance I wear in my fairytale. It's wonderfully enchanting. Initially Angel-like, but far more angelic and sophisticated. Sweet caramel, warm musk and a tamed...... but very much present patchouli, are at the center of this beautiful composition. Mon Parfum is delicate.... a fragile but continuous presence when I breathe it in. It's feminine; insistent yet carefree and remarkably eloquent when it speaks to me. It doesn't enslave. It's not a subjugating or powerful fragrance. It has, nonetheless, cast an equally binding spell over my olfactory heart.

Nothing fragile about it... as Carnelian wrote . Mon Parfum was Madame Miccalef's personal fragrance until her husband perfumer G. Nedjman persuaded her to release it to the public. The combination of orange blossom, passion fruit,(my skin pulls this) vanilla and caramel lend Mon Parfum a luxurious feel, like wearing a satin strapless dress under a cashmere sweater. not a gourmand. this is a fruity floral the way a fruity floral can smell when its composed by an Artist. Where I disagree with Carnelian, is that there is nothing in my opinion by AG that comes close

Yammy! Caramel patchouly for 2 hours straight, then the whole composition/sillage tones down and sweet musc becomes more prominent. I can see the resemblance to Angel in the opening, yes, but definetely not to the point that anyone would confuse the two of them. As to the musc itself - it is clean, soft and well behaved. All of the NR muscs are much more animalic/dirty, compared to this coziness. Love the juice, love the bottle. If you crave something even more gourmand, try Mon Parfum Cristal - that is the sweetest fruity caramel bomb :)

I want to love Angel, but I can't. While it starts off as a beautiful gourmand, it quickly turns into something akin to patchouli floor cleaner on my skin. Rather than being earthy, it's oddly synthetic, and I get more vanilla than chocolate or caramel. Enter Mon Parfum. It's everything I've always wanted Angel to be. It's a deep, earthy patchouli drenched in luscious gourmand notes. Caramel-yes, but I swear I also get some chocolate. And it has just the right amount of skanky musk that makes it oh so sexy. One of my all-time favorites.

Currently on sale on their website, I have three of their fragrances and really love them all. Mon Parfum on me has a gorgeous opening with a light fresh musk and citruses. It has an airy quality. The vetiver is cooling. It radiates feminine and I appreciate the coco-mademoiselle comparison- there are some similarities. But this is lighter, more sophisticated.The caramel note is well-balanced, and doesn't' take over, but ads a nuanced sweetness kiss. This is no beast-mode, but rather sits closer to the skin. Office safe.

You just WAIT. You just wait till it dries down!!!! Im telling you- at first spray i was like “yep.. no.” Then i noticed hours later that I smelled VERY good and I tested this again: At first its very strong and the scent is kinda in your face... im not good with notes so I dont really know how to explain it. Then it dries down and ure like “its fine” THEN after it REALLY dries down it smells soooooo good the patchouli is there But its sweet in the best way possible. Cant stop sniffing my arm

I personally don't smell the orange as some of the other reviewers have noted. I distinctly smell the caramel right off the bat. At first I was not excited as I am not a super sweet fan, but as time went on I could smell the warmth of the patchouli and musk. I like it very much, but it wears close to the skin not a lot of projecting here. It also stays on about 3 to 4 hours. Considering the price I would want a little more staying power. :)

so delicate. so ladylike. so expensive. I'm hoarding my sample because I just can't afford the price tag of this beauty. I've read reviews on LuckyScent where people have said this one isn't special enough to warrant the price tag. I think it's a subjective matter of opinion. This one is really special to me and having it on me makes me want improve my posture, stop chewing gum, have high tea, and walk in heels without wobbling.

Mon Parfum is a beautiful fragrance. As others have stated, it is reminiscent of both Narciso Rodriguez For Her and Mugler Angel. Mon Parfum is a soft, sophisticated and feminine scent, however it is quite potent, with good longevity. It has a slightly vintage smell. I would probably not recommend this for someone under 30 unless they are looking for a more mature scent or something to wear in a professional environment.

This gives Angel Muse edt. I am a big fan of the opening which gives Coco Mademoiselle, luxury perfume with the slightest touch of gourmand. This stays linear and doesn't fade which is a plus for me. It sits better on my skin chemistry than on clothes. I'm afraid I'll run through this 1 oz bottle way too soon.

My skin radiates the patchouli and caramel, with a long lasting honey-orange note. The musk smooths the other notes out rather than making a statement of its own. Well done and seamlessly blended. Reminds me a bit of deep, vintage Coco Chanel. Really love this juice!

I think this perfume is a watercolor of femininity. It's soft but has backbone, it's playful yet serene, it's sensual and I just love it!❤️ Thank you Martina for sharing it with us!

Really not original,My Passion Gres is version unsophisticated with cheap materials . Mon parfum uses top quality ingredients

I have the special edition version, which ia not listed here. BUT — i do LOVE IT. Wish I knew what all the notes were!

i love this perfume!! it is a luxe oriental gourmand fragrance, extremely classy and well balanced.

@wilbs please send me all your scented toilet paper, do you take paypal? ;) <3

This is going to be long as I've waited a long time to write this review so please be patient with me It's been months that I received my bottle of mon parfum and since then,I had just tested it twice.not that I disliked it but it wasn't very appealing to me Recently I tested mon parfum gold so I decided to retry my mon parfum to see whether there's similarities between them or not.as I sprayed it on my wrist,my man suddenly shouted:wow!wow!what was that???it smells amazing!!it's your best perfume so far!why you never wear such a gorgeous,classy,unique and magical perfume? I was surprised because hubby usually dislikes anything with dominant patchouli(angel,white patchouli,even chanel mademoiselle and miss dior edp)and calls them sharp or heavy.even not considering patchouli,he's not a fan of sweet scents,gourmands and fruitchoulis.florals are his usual favorites I asked him to tell me what he can smell.he has an incredible talent to pickup perfume notes with a single test but in this case he said:I don't know.it doesn't smell like a specific fruit or flower or food.but there are flowers and fruits in it and something deliciously sweet but also something dry and earthy.it smells very expensive and different from any other perfume you have His enthusiasm made me try mon parfum more and now that I'm writing this,my feeling has changed from a "meh" to a very strong like,bordering on love and I'm very happy about this shift in feelings because it wasn't a cheap blindbuy and knowing that I'm going to use it with love is a relief Now lets talk about that how mon parfum edp smells to my nose: I'm a gourmand lover and there's no limitations for my love for sweetness.maybe it's the reason that I can't call this a gourmand.it is sweet but not too much and it doesn't smell like mainstream supersweet fruitchoulis It opens with a heavy blast of patchouli,vetiver and some caramelized fruits.I wouldn't think of orange or passionfruit if I didn't know the notes,just something fruity with a brightness which is in contrast with darkness of sharp,moldy patchouli and dry vetiver.intensity of patchouli and scents earthy under,also burnt sugar smell of caramel make a wierd blend which is somehow bothering me in the opening part but it doesn't take more than five minutes to soften alot and patchouli and vetiver retreat to back seat while burnt sugar thing fades away and a soft,sweet and almost creamy scent of orange flower,vanilla and caramel takes the fore seat.I'm talking of caramel but I can't find syrupy and familiar texture of caramel as forexample in Jessica Simpson fancy,police forbidden or other caramel centered perfumes.there's just this warm,creamy sweetness that I suppose should be caramel.there's an unpretentious beauty and feminine softness all through it's life(well,except first five minutes)which makes it pleasant and easy to wear Now that I'm writing this,14 people mentioned that Micallef mon parfum reminds them angel.I agree but I don't see them as similar perfumes.it makes me think of angel too but just in it's opening part and even in that stage they don't smell alike just the same mix of sweetness and patchouli sharpness though patchouli appears different in these two as their sweet notes which are quite different.so you can love mon parfum whether you love angel or you hate angel.I also understand the comparison made between mon parfum and narciso Rodriguez for her edt in one of reviews but I see similarities a little and mostly in it's drydown when musk shows up.mon parfum mixes an easier to wear idea of angel,and an easier to wear idea of NR for her edt and somethings from it's own(fruity notes,soft touch of powder)and eliminates their dirty aspects and creates something different and new.you don't need to be a patchouli lover or a musk lover or a gourmand lover or lover of heavy,heady scents to love mon parfum I highly recommend you to try mon parfum on your skin and give it at least half an hour before deciding on it.what lasts with you for hours is a lovely scent with a great balance.very easy to wear but not boring and very versa,suitable for both days and nights,in mild to cool weather and a complement magnet.sillage is good when first sprayed but it soon calms down to moderate and lasts for 5,6 hours but I can smell traces of it,a softly powdery softly sweet musky vanilla for 2,3 more Hours.I also love it's packaging and shape of bottle.the only thing I don't like about it is that it's bottle is frosted and I don't like frosted bottles(touching frosted bottles makes me feel bad)but this is not a deal-breaker A 3.3oz bottle is priced at least 90$ but it worthes every penny

Super-trad French grande dame, beautifully done although not really my speed. Imagine eating your way through a patisserie display case - tiny delicate fruit tarts of tangerine, kiwi, some sort of peachier thing, loaded with vanilla and sugar - yet all whipped so light and frothy and baked so deftly you don't feel sick. (Although personally, because my tooth and nose aren't that keen on sweets, it did make me feel a bit past-heady-to-a-bit-giddy in moments.) It's never soapy or sour, and everything's handled with a lot of skill. I generally recoil from fruity florals - to work for me they have to be genuinely weird, or super-astringent and low on sugar, or really minimal/natural - so the style of this one's a bit alienating for me - rich, blowsy, ultra-femme - and yet and yet.... it's all brilliantly done, I have to admit. The fresh tangerine top is really something special. Gets a bit more generic as it wears down; I kept feeling tormented that it reminded me of something much cheaper I'd had before ... Black Orchid? (a bit, but not really), Cavalli Nero Assoluto? (same same), and finally reading here confirmed it - honestly very like Narciso Rodriguez For Her. So overall, not a crushing sickly monster as you might fear (like I did) or imagine from the pyramid above- something much more sophisticated and manageable overall, and safe for any use. Just too womanly-sweet in total for my taste, but if fruit florals are your favourites, this is very very much up at the classy end of the market (and the dessert buffet.).

A perfect caramel and patchouli combination for me. Caramel plays tricks with my skin, like in TOF Alien, although the initial hit of burnt sugar is wonderful, alas it becomes totally synthetic/artificial on me. This was definitely, thankfully not the case with Mon Parfum. For me, I look at it as Pink Sugar Sensual all grown up. Missing the overkill pink and silliness of teenage hood/early twenties and evolving into an elegant, composed woman with a history of pink and silliness, who still enjoys her candy, albeit in more refined and subdued ways. The patchouli here definitely doesn't cry headshop, far from it. Once again there were probably headshop visits in her history but now the only musk and patchouli in her life come from perfume and other delicately fragranted offerings. Sillage is polite and won't cause the others in a crowded space to gag and pass out, but it definitely spells its presence well. Longevity is acceptable for me, more than five hours and still going strong. I am very grateful to finally test this beauty from a generous sample passed on from a wonder member here. I have managed to convince myself that despite the overwhelming sugared scents and patchouli scents I already own, this one is special and deserves a place in my home.

I'm so, so addicted to this scent. I was by no means impressed when I first tried it on but wow has this grown on me. When I see caramel as a note I anticipate something tooth aching sweet, but that is not the case here. And it's very refreshing to have fruit note is so well balanced, actually the whole scent is extremely well balanced. It is definitely a fruitchouli, but it's a very elegant and mature one and it vaguely reminds me of Midnight Rain by La Prairie (but softer and less mainstream). Performance is ok, but not great. I do have to reapply quite often, but personally I prefer that to basenotes clinging on forever. The patch is dirty and in your face when you smell it up close, like all the other notes hover above it because the cloud that surrounds you with this is just a perfect balance of sweet, earthy, fruity, musky and floral. I might even repurchase this at full price, that's how good it is. Had I not ordered Mon Parfum Cristal for a lousy $50 and received this by mistake I totally would have missed out on this beauty. Highly recommend anyone to sample and give this several tries, it's a grower not a shower.

This is a yummy scent, not original, but pretty nonetheless. The description calls it "fragile feminine" and I totally disagree - the Annick Goutals, etc. qualify for that. I don't find this particularly delicate! Make sure to spray this one on to a card or wrist, because it takes a minute to get past that citrus "bug repellant" smell. Once there, it develops into a lovely, well-blended, musky, warm & sweet floral citrus, with good complexity. The vanilla helps make it a little creamy, but isn't the main note, and the vetiver gives it some green (more like a touch of sour) so it's not cake-ish. I don't get much passionfruit. For me, the patchouli has been added with a light hand, and just gives it a little more depth, so don't let that scare you if you're not a fan. The caramel doesn't come in until a couple hours in to wearing, and again, it keeps the patch. toned down. Decent staying power. Later note: I agree with some of the other reviews, it's a fruity chypre, I find it similar to frags like John Varvatos or Badgely Mischka. It's sweet, but not foody. sweet.

The opening of Mon Parfum smells like someone mixed Angel EDP with Narciso Rodriguez for her EDT and maracuja juice. Exactly the same dirty earthy patch from Angel and exactly the same musk and orange blossom as in NR for her. And also just as intense as both of them. Usually I can't stand anything that is similar to NR for her, and Angel is a fragrance I can only admire from a distance, but the mixture in Mon Parfum seems much easier to wear. In the drydown the caramel joins in and mends the musk and patchouli to something new. All dirtiness vanishes and it becomes a creamy sweet musk, warm and sensual and still with a hint of passion fruit. I like it, but in the end it's too much of the wrong kind of musk to me, and to be honest I don't want to wear a fragrance that smells like the love-child of two other very well-known fragrances.

Have you ever wondered why toilet paper is scented (considering what it's used for)? I have. Interestingly enough, Mon Parfum M. Micallef seems to be the scent of choice for many a dunny roll manufacturer; sweet, floral and clean. Please don't misconstrue, I love Mon Parfum and I highly doubt factories of toilet tissue douse their product in such a luxury perfume. I feel it's more a happy accident. Mon Parfum a delicate scent, and very well balanced despite most ingredients being the main players in other fumes. Rather than fruitchouli battling the caramel and musk, they work together to create something as sweet, floral and clean smelling as expensive triple ply.

Like others have mentioned the musk is similar to that used in the Narciso Rodriguez line. It provides a somewhat masculine balance to the more feminine aspects such as the passionfruit and caramel with the help of the patchouli. It's pleasant and more elegant than some designer perfumes with similar notes. Unfortunately, it only lasts about 3 hours on my skin. I like it, don't love it. Perfect for any season, nice alternative for spring and summer for those who wear heavier fruitchoulis the rest of the year.

On first spray it screamed ‘Angel’ and that didn’t make me happy. But the dry down is different to Angel. The patchouli dies down quite quickly and this develops into a musky citrus-caramel-fruity concoction with something a little boozy in the mix too, which makes it more ‘grown-up’’ than some other gourmand-leaning perfumes. I get a little tuberose here, too, which isn’t listed but lends a creamy, serious note. I could see myself wearing this out to dinner with my husband. Solid like.

The way this perfume makes me feel is amazing. It's like a shower that you take after a long day, and makes me feel the same way when you finally get into bed. It's not sexy or sensual like Micallef's wife describes, but more refreshing and fresh with a floral touch to it. This refreshes my nose and makes me feel so good. The one downside is that it doesn't last long, which makes me think again before buying a full bottle.

MON PARFUM is a true beauty, it's feminine, classy, elegant and very pretty. It has the perfect balance of sweet caramel and patchouli, it never gets too sweet, nor too bitter, it has the perfect quality of a grown up gourmand scent. Unfortunately it did had a staying power of only 4 hours. Nevertheless this is worth a try if you seek a perfect caramel scent for elegant ladies not willing to smell like a piece of candy.

lovely lovely lovely caramel, vanilla ,patcholie whit a sweet fruity touch. whit a slight hint off orange flowers. a very good blended perfume . I see that some find it similar to Angel TM . to me they are not very similar this is much easyer to wear . feminin and beautiful. like a vail on the skin .not very strong , but decent. like it alot

It is a gem that creates a new quality out of the ingredients without disclosing the recipe. The effect is very elegant, slightly smoky, refined and pleasant. Formal and semi-formal outings, romantic evenings. Everyday autumn-winter scent for someone who finds it her signature.

I see Angel and patchouli everywhere I scroll... Am I the only one who thought this is on the fruitier side?? To me orange would be bumped up next to caramel, and patchouli would go alongside vanilla followed by passionfruit (it's a VERY tart fruit btw).

Friendly and feminin, a sister of Coco Mademoiselle. Nothing edgy about this, pleasantly sweet and round. I detest the bottle style though, they are so tacky. To be fair, the scent is good and worth the money.

This is beautiful, if a bit old school. Definitely heavy on the patchouli, with generous doses of caramel. It's quite perfume-y, with bombastic performance. Much more enjoyable and smoother than Angel.

Such a caramel dream. Has creaminess to it. The caramel is light, its not as strong as The only one, yet it doesnt fade away which i love. Perfect “to bed” scent, kind of reminds me of winter holidays.

Softer fluffier version of coco mademoiselle

Uhhhhhhh...yeah...no. Not at this price! Tangerine, orange blossom, vanilla, fruits, patchouli, musk, toffee. Notes come, notes stay (shortly), notes go. A pretty, gentle, delicate, utterly feminine fragrance. Lots of orange blossom, lots of tangerine. Dries down to a warm, creamy, fruity vanilla scent. Wears completely close to the skin. Zero silage, zero staying power. Barely detectable. Totally unforgettable. There are thousands of fragrances on the market exactly like this one for a fraction of the price. This is definitely a pass.

I wish people would just be real instead of using colorful language for churchy smelled-before scents. This isn’t romantic at all! Let's be honest, it smells like some lady in church who gives you a hug and smells strong and a bit smelly. I am not getting much (if any) passion fruit, vanilla, or caramel. I am just getting straight patchouli, citrus, and vetiver. It's very mature. I like the Coco Mademoiselle patchouli. But this is far too much.

Hmm, no, this one is not for me. Patchouli is hit or miss for me, and this is the kind that definitely doesn't work on me, in the vein of Chanel Chance or Jessica Simpson Fancy Nights. I found this scent turned a bit plasticky too. I understand the comparisons to Angel (which I also don't like). However I could see that it could be lovely on someone else.

Opening is beautiful. However turns into a rotten fruit pulpy mess on my skin after an hour 🥲 Longevity and sillage is great but not a good thing if like me, you desperately needed it scrubbed off.

We've gotten to the point where it is no longer meaningful to refer directly all the way back to Thierry Mugler ANGEL for every single post-ANGEL sweet patchouli perfume. No, many of these perfumes, including MON PARFUM by Micallef, are much closer to some of the by now fairly well-known so-called knock-offs or clones of the Dark Angel. A couple of days back, I was pointing out that another perfume often compared to ANGEL was really much closer to Molinard NIRMALA. Today, over the course of the day I realized that MON PARFUM is closer to NUITS DE NOHO by Bond no 9 than it is to ANGEL. Why? Both NUITS DE NOHO and MON PARFUM have edited out--or rather never included--the purple gooey over-the-top opening of ANGEL. They both smell much more natural and of much high-quality materials. But NUITS DE NOHO has much more white floral activity going on. MON PARFUM is closer to the slightly doughy caramelized patchouli drydown of ANGEL. So why do I think that MON PARFUM is closer to NUITS DE NOHO than to ANGEL? Because it is actually pleasant to wear! I do have to wonder why this perfume was launched. I was expecting something really new and distinct coming under the title MON PARFUM. I understand (I think) the story, that this perfume was in fact created much earlier than 2009, but it could easily be lost in the post-ANGEL tsunami. To be honest, I'm a bit surprised at how favorable the reviews and ratings of this perfume have been, all things considered...

I've been exploring my sample of Mon Parfum and while it is very pleasant it is just meh to me. It is reminiscent of a lady-like vintage-esque yet modern classic. But it does not smell "dated". It is safe for all occasions and could be a signature. I put it up there with Chanel and Guerlain classics. They are also not my style. I do find some very faint similarities to Angel and Wish I'm assuming it's the patch, vanilla and caramel instead of chocolate. Since both of those are awful on my skin and this isn't, I can now vaguely see the passion for Angel and for that reason I will stop looking for an Angel-esque frag for me. Just as I have given up on Chanel and Guerlain. That safe feminine classic quality bores me. For those that love Angel but are "afraid" of it or its too "in your face" this might be a gentle subtle and (expensive) alternative. Not sure if this gets a vote from me. It is definitely not bad just not me.

On me Mon Parfum opens with a blast of patchouli. I cannot help but think Mon Parfum's top notes smell just like Angel EDP. Patchouli takes centre stage for about an hour before sweet caramel and sunny, yellow, fruity notes come out to play. So, yes, you will have to wait for the fragrance to develop if the initial strong patchouli note is not quite what you wanted or expected. All in all, Mon Parfum is mainly about patchouli with yellow citrus notes and sweet caramel. The sillage is average at best once the initial patchouli cloud has settled. 1 ml (!) Mon Parfum stayed on my skin for about 4 hours. I think that Mon Parfum is best classified as a fruity chypre. It would be an ideal pick for Angel fans who look for a more wearable summer version of their favourite and I recommend it to everyone who would love to love Angel but cannot bear Angel's über-presence of patchouli. Definitely worth a try.
