Madeleine

by Fanny Bal

Masque Milano Madeleine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Fanny Bal. The fragrance opens with Cream, Cumin, and Chestnut, settles into a heart of Cypress, Geranium, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Milk, Musk, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Madeleine: Statement

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Madeleine divides opinion sharply, thanks to its bold, gourmand take on chestnut and an unexpected kick of cumin. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you're into unique, cozy warmth that leans more 'gourmand delicacy' than 'sickly sweet dessert', you might just fall head over heels.

About

Madeleine opens with a rich, roasted chestnut note, immediately softened by creamy lactonic accords and a surprising hint of cumin, which provides a unique spicy edge. This evolves into a heart of green cypress and delicate tuberose, grounding the sweetness before settling into a warm, inviting base of milky vanilla, tonka bean, and a whisper of clean musk. It's an unconventional gourmand that evokes a sense of comforting indulgence.
