The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Dolceacqua by Masque Milano is a woody floral musk fragrance crafted by perfumer Delphine Thierry. The composition opens with the bright freshness of lily-of-the-valley and sea notes, creating an immediate contrast between the crispness of the ocean breeze and the delicate sweetness of florals. This initial freshness gives way to a heart of ivy, marjoram, and mimosa, adding layers of green and floral warmth. The base notes of musk, oakmoss, siam benzoin, virginian cedar, and indian saffron ground the scent with earthy depth and a lingering sweetness.

How to wear it

Apply Dolceacqua in light sprays to the pulse points; it blooms gradually over time. The initial freshness fades within an hour but leaves behind a warm, musky base that lasts through the day.
