Petra

The quiet confidence of an early autumn evening — the air is crisp with notes of pink pepper and bergamot, while the rich warmth of jasmine sambac and patchouli lingers like a gentle embrace.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Petra by Masque Milano was launched in 2020 and crafted by the perfumer Cécile Zarokian. This fragrance is a captivating blend of sweet florals and warm spices, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive. The opening notes of pink pepper and bergamot introduce a crisp freshness that quickly gives way to the rich complexity of jasmine sambac and moroccan rose. Patchouli adds depth while ambergris brings a sensual warmth, making Petra a scent that evolves gracefully throughout the day.

How to wear it

Petra's opening notes are bright but fleeting, so apply it generously to capture the full range. The base notes develop slowly over time, making it ideal for evening wear when the warm spices and incense truly come into their own.
