The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Rose Extreme by M. Micallef is a floral fragrance crafted by Jean-Claude Astier. The composition centers around an intense rose accord that balances the sweetness with powdery and fruity notes, creating a dynamic tension between freshness and warmth. The heart of Bulgarian rose and iris adds depth, while amber and vanilla provide a comforting base that rounds out the scent without overpowering its core identity.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points and let it settle for a few minutes. The initial burst of rose de mai will soften into a more nuanced blend as the powdery and woody notes emerge.
