Masque Milano 2018 Edp

(homage to) Hemingway

by Fanny Bal

Masque Milano (homage to) Hemingway is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Fanny Bal. (homage to) Hemingway opens with Rhubarb and Ginger, settles into a heart of Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Cedar. Masque Milano's (homage to) Hemingway carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This homage to Hemingway is a divisive, almost-masterful vetiver. It's a complex, rugged beast that some adore for its earthy depth, while others find it too harsh, medicinal, or simply 'soil and grass'. Expect a polarising experience.

Its bold and potentially overwhelming vetiver profile, coupled with reports of strong projection, makes it less suitable for office wear. The sophisticated, distinctive character lends itself well to formal events and date nights, where a statement scent is appreciated, though it might be a bit much for casual settings.

About

Inspired by the famed writer, this fragrance opens with a sharp, tart rhubarb and a zing of ginger, quickly giving way to a prominent, multi-faceted vetiver heart. It's an earthy, woody vetiver, ranging from smoky and dry to damp and green, eventually settling into a blend of leathery nuances, deep patchouli, and grounding cedar. It evokes dense forests, rich soil, and a touch of something raw and untamed.
