The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Watch by M. Micallef was launched in 2002 and crafted by Jean-Claude Astier, known for his ability to blend complex accords with a delicate touch. The fragrance opens with the sweet, juicy notes of peach and plum, complemented by the brightness of mandarin orange. This fruity introduction gives way to a heart of tuberose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and neroli, creating an intricate floral bouquet that is both rich and refined. The base notes of vanilla, white musk, and subtle animalic nuances add depth, grounding the composition with warmth and sensuality.

How to wear it

Apply Watch lightly to pulse points — it blooms slowly over time. The fruity top notes are fleeting but vibrant, while the floral heart and warm base create a lasting impression close to the skin.
