M. Micallef... opinions?

Hi all,

Has anyone got experience with scents by M. Micallef?
I ran across these at a nice boutique. They're not listed in the directory and I had not heard of them previously.
They got some interesting scents. I sampled 3.

Brief first impressions (I'm not very good at describing this stuff):
Gaiac: nice soft gaiac wood scent. I bought this one.
Black Sea: reminded me a bit of Bulgari Black. I have to sample this one again, but I don't need another
scent in the Bulgari Black/Dzing/vanilla category.
Aoud: this one's special... but quite heavy and sweet. I might purchase this for next winter.

Thanks for the introduction.
They sound interestnig. Where are they from? What about the general quality including presentation and longevity? and if you don't mind me asking, how much do they run for?

Here is their website: http://www.mmicallef.com/

I've tried a few. You can find some decants of them on ebay and Lucky Scent sells some as well.

From the ones I've tried:
Night Oud: Sweet oriental, nice but too sweet for me.
Gaiac: Smells like the topnotes of Dzing! to me - that fuzzy, sweet, hay-like smell, but it lasts.
Watch: Very, very sweet, and to my nose more for the ladies.

Also bought Gaiac - unsniffed. Fortunately, a good decision. It's a nice, sweet/sharp woodsy fragrance, very pleasant.
