Notorious XO
7.2M. Micallef · 2025
Sweet · Synthetic · Spicy
M. Micallef Notorious XO is a sweet, spicy and leathery fragrance for men, pairing cognac and vanilla warmth with pepper and cinnamon.
It opens with marine notes, cognac and pepper together. In the heart, leather, tonka bean, cinnamon, cardamom and moss come forward, giving the scent a smoky, rugged edge. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, praliné, amber and musk settles into a sweet, woody foundation.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, mainly for nights out and evenings, with leisure wear after that. It reads as a masculine scent. City Rhythm Austin and David Beckham Exquisite Leather have a close profile.
