Jewel

The crisp air of a city park in early autumn, where the scent of fresh herbs and blooming flowers intertwine with the earthy notes of fallen leaves.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

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.

How to wear it

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.
