Watch

by Jean-Claude Astier

M.Micallef Watch is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Jean-Claude Astier. The fragrance opens with Peach, Plum, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Watch: Acquired

This one is a divisive powerhouse: a rich, syrupy floral-fruity with a bubblegum tuberose heart. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you adore heady white florals and a sweet, tenacious sillage, Watch will be your next obsession.

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, often described as 'atomic' or 'weapons-grade', make it unsuitable for an office environment. However, its rich, sweet, and sensual character, particularly with the prominent white florals and vanilla, shines on dates and formal evenings, evoking a romantic and luxurious feel. It can work casually for those who enjoy a bold statement.

About

Watch opens with a lush, almost jammy burst of peach and plum, brightened by mandarin, before settling into a voluptuous heart of white and yellow florals. Tuberose takes centre stage here, often described as bubblegum-sweet, alongside intoxicating jasmine, creamy ylang-ylang, and a hint of neroli. The indulgent dry-down sees the florals resting on a rich bed of smooth vanilla and soft musk, creating a dense, warm, and sophisticated sweetness.
