Masque Milano Montecristo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Delphine Thierry. Montecristo settles into a heart of Celery Seeds, Tobacco, Labdanum, and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Styrax. Masque Milano's Montecristo carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Montecristo is a divisive beast: an animalic, musky punch that challenges polite sensibilities. You'll either adore its raw, almost primal allure or consider it a complete olfactory assault. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a masterpiece for those who dare.

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.

About

It lunges with a musky-animalic ferocity, mingling with an alcoholic rum kick before settling into a warm, woody embrace. Tobacco leaves and rich resins like labdanum and benzoin weave through prominent guaiac wood and cedar. Just when you think you've got it pegged, a unique celery seed note adds an unexpected, slightly earthy spice, grounded by deep patchouli.
