Masque Milano Luci ed Ombre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Giuseppe Imprezzabile. Luci ed Ombre opens with Incense, settles into a heart of Oakmoss, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Frankincense. Masque Milano's Luci ed Ombre carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent; you'll either get an elegant interplay of light and dark, or a mouldy attic with a hint of Gorgonzola. The prominent tuberose and incense prove a love-it-or-hate-it combo, rarely settling for indifference.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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

Luci ed Ombre opens with a swirl of incensy, almost medicinal notes, quickly joined by a vibrant ginger. The heart unfurls with a rich, creamy blend of tuberose and jasmine, softened by earthy oakmoss. As it settles, a woody base of cedar and patchouli emerges, grounded by a lingering, ethereal frankincense that balances the floral brightness.
