The story behind the bottle.
Jewel by M. Micallef was launched in 2011 and crafted by Jean-Claude Astier, known for his ability to blend complex accords into harmonious compositions. The fragrance opens with a fresh spicy note of coriander, which contrasts beautifully against the sweet warmth of African orange flower and jasmine. The heart is dominated by geranium and iris, providing a floral depth that transitions seamlessly into the woody base notes of patchouli, sandalwood, and musk, grounded by a touch of vanille. This blend creates an aura of sophistication and elegance, making Jewel a lasting addition to any collection.
For best effect, apply Jewel to pulse points. The coriander note is particularly vibrant initially but fades into a warm woody blend within an hour. This fragrance leans towards intimate settings rather than filling a room, so it's perfect for close encounters and evening wear.
