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.

Application Tips
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.

The quiet intensity of an old leather-bound book in a well-lit study, where the scent of herbs mingles with rich woods and warm spices.
