  Avant-Garde by Micallef smells familiar, but upon closer inspection, it’s not quite 100% identical. I think, given its release era, it laid the groundwork for that whole wave of tobacco and tonka bean perfumes that later saturated the market. It opens with citrus, but without much freshness, then moves into a dry, creamy tobacco accented with incense and leather, which eventually takes over. The sandalwood and tonka bean base holds it together well, but it does take away some sparkle and originality. I like it—it’s rich, pleasant, and versatile (as long as it’s not hot), with a more masculine vibe, average performance, and great evolution, though it doesn’t fully convince me. I feel that Prada Luna Rossa Black, Midnight in Paris by VC&A, and, much further away, The One by D&G come closer to it. 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.
