Ruh Zadeh & Martine Micallef by M. Micallef is a composition that marries the crispness of bergamot and tangerine with the earthy warmth of cashmere wood and patchouli, all grounded by a musky base. Perfumer Geoffrey Nejman has crafted an aromatic-spicy scent that oscillates between freshness and depth. The ozonic top notes give way to a heart infused with violet leaf and star anise, while the moss and leather add layers of complexity, making it feel both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
One or two sprays is sufficient — the ozonic top notes are bright but fleeting, giving way to a rich base that blooms over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than in wide sillage, so focus on pulse points for maximum effect.
