Collection Rouge No1

This is a strong fragrance that is noticeable when you enter a room. Definitely one that makes a statement, this is not a shy fragrance, but is very confident and luxurious. The rose and peach are the most dominant notes. The bottle is gorgeous as is always with M. Micallef bottles.

Martine did it again! These collection are very unique. The Rouge No1 is a very clean, fresh powderly scent with an amazing rose and ylang-ylang combination. Not so sweet, to me a little bit citrus with powderly flowers.

OMG! Luxury, sensuality, musk, rose, powder, classy, gorgeous!! I lost my words smelling this beauty! It's so good it's probably worth any price they'll put on it! This might just be the smell of heaven! M-U-S-T have.

Rouge no. 1 starts with fruity fizzy aldehydic notes, mostly peach. I don't get any distinct tangerine notes. Then the white musk starts to get stronger, it is quite briny. The rose also starts to bloom at this point and become stronger and stronger. The scent is sweet and has a soft kind of feel to it. There's still aldehydes doing their fizzy business. On the side, jasmine and ylang have now woken up together with vanilla notes, making the scent quite sweet. There's still a hint of peach on top. The resins in the base are not too harsh, very subtly done. Sillage is soft to moderate, longevity moderate. Quite subtle for a rose scent, rose tends to be very strong and sometimes sour on my skin. Here, no sour rose, but it does get a bit out there. I like the soft feel of the scent, almost gentle. The ylang and jasmine on the side make it a mix to dream away on. The aldehydes are too strong for me (tend to make me sneeze). The musk is the kind of musk I like-- briny and sexy. I like the drydown even better-- more musk and less aldehydes. This one goes on the wish list.

rose with musk, jasmine, ylang and peach but has that sour rose undertone to it
