Milano Fragranze Diurno is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Julie Massé. Diurno opens with Amaretto and Lavender, settles into a heart of Geranium and Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Rain. Milano Fragranze's Diurno carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Diurno attempts a modern twist on the classic fougere with an amaretto injection, and while some find it a unique delight, others are left wondering what in the world they've just smelled. Not for the faint of heart, or nose.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • 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

Diurno opens with a sharp, spirited blend of aromatic lavender and a sweet, boozy amaretto. A fresh, almost mentholated geranium and herbal sage quickly join, creating a barbershop-esque fougere core. As it settles, clean musk and a subtle woody cedar emerge, grounded by an aquatic rainwater note for a fresh, sophisticated drydown that flits between warm an clean, sweet and herbal.
