Masque Milano Love Kills is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Caroline Dumur. Love Kills opens with Geranium, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Ambroxan. Masque Milano's Love Kills carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't just another rose perfume; it's a dramatic, poetic journey from bloom to decay. Fiercely divisive for some, a masterpiece for others thanks to its geranium-heavy, realistic rose portrayal.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Love Kills unfurls with an intense, almost metallic freshness of rose and geranium, a green and thorny opening that feels vibrant and alive. As it evolves, the rose deepens, becoming richer and more velvety, infused with an earthy patchouli. The dry down settles into a musky, woody warmth with cedar and ambroxan, evoking the tender, lingering memory of a spent bloom.
