Description
Masque Milano's Montecristo, a unisex scent with a masculine lean, is a rich, compelling fragrance that exudes warmth and comfort. Launched in 2013, the genius behind this scent is Delphine Thierry. The aroma opens with an intoxicating blend of ambrette, rum, and cabreuva, creating a boozy, enveloping effusion. The heart of the fragrance pulses with notes of tobacco, labdanum, benzoin, and celery seeds, adding a layer of complexity. The base notes include hyrax, styrax, guaiac wood, patchouli, and cedar, lending a woody and aromatic finish. Montecristo paints a picture of an old villa in the Tuscan countryside, with a fireplace-lit room and the waft of a hand-rolled cigar, evoking a sense of nostalgia and tranquillity.
