Steel Water by M. Micallef is a composition that balances the crisp freshness of citrus with the depth and warmth of woody and powdery notes, creating an intriguing contrast. The bright opening of lemon and tangerine gives way to a heart of violet and tarragon, adding a subtle herbal twist before settling into a base of patchouli, leather, musk, and nutmeg. This interplay between fresh and earthy elements makes it a fragrance that evolves throughout the day.

Application Tips
Steel Water opens with a bright citrus top note that fades within two hours. Apply one to two sprays in the morning to let the warm base notes develop gradually throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to skin, so aim for pulse points rather than diffusing it into the air.
