  Avant-Garde by Micallef smells like something I know, but a quick glance tells me it’s not 100% identical. I believe, given its launch date, it laid the foundations for that wave of tobacco and tonka bean perfumes that later saturated the market. It opens with citrus, but without much freshness, then moves to a dry, creamy tobacco with hints of incense and leather, which eventually dominates. The sandalwood and tonka bean base holds it together well, but it robs the scent of sparkle and originality. I like it; it’s rich and pleasant, versatile (provided it’s not hot), with a more masculine air, regular longevity, and significant evolution, though it still doesn’t fully convince me. I feel that Prada Luna Rossa Black, Midnight in Paris by VC&A, and, much further down the line, The One by D&G come closer. Within its category, it’s decent, but it doesn’t blow me away. Rating: 7/10. P.S. Thanks to Gabriel Sanchez for the vial and the good vibes.
