The story behind the bottle.
Puzzle No. 1 by M. Micallef is a captivating Floral Woody Musk fragrance created by Geoffrey Nejman and Jean-Claude Astier. This composition opens with the bright, sunny notes of peach, pink pepper, orange, and lemon, creating an initial burst of freshness that's both fruity and citrusy. As it develops, osmanthus and vanilla orchid bring a rich sweetness to the heart, while iris and jasmine add layers of floral complexity. The base notes of guaiac wood, tonka bean, cedar, and benzoin provide a warm, powdery backdrop that rounds out the scent with depth and comfort.
Apply Puzzle No. 1 to your pulse points and allow it to develop naturally over time. The citrus top notes are immediate but short-lived, so layering them with the woody base will ensure a well-rounded experience throughout the day.
