The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Madeleine by Masque Milano was launched in 2020 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Fanny Bal. This Oriental Floral fragrance is an ode to warmth and nostalgia. The composition opens with a distinctive lactonic accord, reminiscent of fresh milk and chestnut, creating a comforting, almost nostalgic feeling. As it evolves, a heart of tuberose and geranium adds depth and complexity, while the base notes of vanilla pod, tonka bean, and musk create a warm, enveloping embrace.

How to wear it

For best results, apply this fragrance to pulse points and allow it to develop naturally on your skin. The lactonic opening is delicate and ephemeral, so a few light spritzes will ensure that the rich base notes have time to bloom and envelop you in their warmth.
