The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Collection Rouge No1 by M. Micallef, launched in 2013 and crafted by Jean-Claude Astier, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that balances sweet and fresh accords with a warm musky base. The composition opens with the bright zest of tangerine and peach before diving into a heart of rose, ylang-ylang, and jasmine — floral notes that are both delicate and lush. As the scent settles, white musk and benzoin add a powdery warmth, creating a sense of comfort and sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — the fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. The white musk and benzoin base will linger for hours, so a few well-placed sprays are more effective than a heavy application. It pairs particularly well with daytime activities, where its fresh floral tones shine.
