About the house
Michael Michalsky’s Ecstatic Women combines honeyed white flowers and praline; Intense Women favours coffee, cocoa and powdery iris. The Sea 26 pair also differs sharply: Women is creamy with pistachio, coconut milk and caramel, while Men is fresh with peppermint over mossy, musky woods.
Sunshine takes pear and blackcurrant into rose and orange blossom, softened by vanilla, tonka and musk. Iconic For Men instead puts citrus and plum around lavender, rose, cinnamon and cumin, with cedar below. Intense Men begins greener with mint and violet leaf, then brings pineapple into the heart and chestnut into a vanilla-and-wood base. Compare those openings first, then ask whether you prefer a floral centre, warm spices or a nutty wooden finish.
