Meet Notorious XO on your own skin
M. Micallef Notorious XO is a perfume that we decant into glass spray vials of 2, 5 or 10 ml. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing. Give it time to settle before you judge it.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

On the skin
There is no pyramid on this page for M. Micallef Notorious XO, because none is on record in our data. What it does on skin is for you to find out. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
On request means we do not have M. Micallef Notorious XO ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
What you get is Notorious XO in a glass spray vial, 2, 5 or 10 ml, decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
We have no tags that say when M. Micallef Notorious XO fits best, which leaves the choice to you. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub.
Notorious XO comes without an audience tag in our data. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes.
The same perfume can be a favourite on one person and a miss on the next, which is the whole case for testing Notorious XO first. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Notorious XO the way you normally would.
No note list is on record with us for M. Micallef Notorious XO, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Probably not exactly. Skin, weather and the amount you apply all change how a perfume comes across, which is the reason to wear M. Micallef Notorious XO yourself before deciding.
The brand
44 perfumes by M. Micallef: that is our current list of samples from this house. Each one is decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and carries our own label. In our shop M. Micallef sits with the niche perfume samples. A few small vials tell you more about a house than one large bottle chosen on a guess.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
