L'Attesa

by Luca Maffei

Masque Milano L'Attesa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Luca Maffei. The fragrance opens with Neroli, Champagne Rosé, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orris, Iris, Ylang-Ylang, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss.

Our verdict on L'Attesa: Acquired

This perfume is a divisive love-it-or-hate-it iris. For some, it's a breathtaking luxury, a signature scent that conjures high-class elegance. For others, it's a harsh, waxy, or even sickly experience. Clearly, a true iris fan's scent test is required.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and distinctive, luxurious profile make it a strong choice for formal events and romantic dates, where elegance is key. It's a bit too prominent and unique for regular office wear, and far too refined for casual or sport settings.

About

L'Attesa opens with a fleeting fizz of champagne and bright bergamot before settling into its main act: an opulent iris heart. This isn't your shy iris; it's a rich, powdery, and rooty affair, often described as lipstick- or make-up-like. Beneath the waxy floral lies a sophisticated foundation of soft leather, grounding oakmoss, and creamy sandalwood, occasionally accented by indolic ylang-ylang and tuberose, creating a complex, earthy-floral composition.
