by Karine Chevallier

Masque Milano Alcove is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Karine Chevallier.

Our verdict on Alcove: Acquired

A creamy, spicy sandalwood showstopper that's undeniably high-quality, though some might find it a tad overdone. It's a journey from zesty freshness to a deeply woody, almost gourmand embrace.

About

Alcove opens with a lively burst of citrus - grapefruit and lemon leading the charge, brightened by aromatic rosemary and a hint of cardamom. This fresh introduction quickly softens into a heart where a creamy, almost salty Mysore sandalwood emerges as the star, beautifully underpinned by soft violet and a whisper of fig. The base deepens into a rich tapestry of woods - cedar, cypriol - warmed by amber and myrrh, creating a complex, milky, and slightly spicy drydown that lingers beautifully.
