The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Fragrance Du Bois and crafted by perfumer Shadi Samra, Milano is a complex Leather fragrance that balances warmth and depth with unexpected freshness. The composition opens with saffron and bergamot, providing a bright and uplifting start before thyme and jasmine add an herbal floral layer. This leads to a rich base of leather, amber, and musk, grounded by woody notes and vanilla for a warm and enveloping finish.
Apply Milano lightly to pulse points for a long-lasting effect. The fragrance opens up quickly, so you'll notice the herbal freshness first before it settles into its warmer base notes over time.
