(homage to) Hemingway by Masque Milano, launched in 2018 and crafted by Fanny Bal, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of rugged sophistication. The composition opens with ginger and rhubarb, offering a fresh spicy contrast to the earthy vetiver and patchouli base notes. This juxtaposition creates a dynamic tension reminiscent of Hemingway's prose — crisp and precise yet deeply rooted in the natural world.

Application Tips
Apply one or two sprays to ensure the ginger and rhubarb top notes don't overpower. The vetiver base takes about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time before reapplying. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in a wide sillage.

Fanny Bal is a force of nature. As Dominique Ropion’s apprentice, she has access to the finest raw materials in the industry and some of its best-kept secrets; and yet, she is constantly surprising her seniors, first at ISIPCA, then at IFF, with her own independent initiatives and rigorous experimentation, both testaments to her flourishing talent. She has shown everyone, including Frédéric Malle, that she is a young perfumer to be reckoned with. Dominique Ropion has said of his pupil that, “curious, tenacious and bold” in both her approach to perfume and as a person, Fanny Bal possesses “all the best qualities to become a great perfumer”.
