MASQUE MILANO White Whale EDP 10 ml After 10 years of work, the Opera collection is now complete: 16 Fragrances, divided into 4 groups of 4 fragrances each. Each group represents an "ACT" in the MASQUE opera: ACT I – EXPERIENCES ACT II – INTERNAL MONOLOGUES ACT III – LOVE RELATIONSHIPS ACT IV - DREAMS MASQUE MILANO lovers know that the OPERA collection has paid multiple homages to literature, especially Anglo-Saxon (Romance – Victorian Narcissus, dedicated to Wilde's celebration of dandyism and narcissism, The Picture of Dorian Gray; Love Kills, inspired by the quintessential love tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, and Lost Alice, a tribute to Lewis Carrol's fantastic adventures of Alice). “Completing this Opera Collection has been a dream and a goal for us for the past 10 years.

Alessandro All the elements of Herman Melville's novel were so useful to try to imagine ourselves on a whaling ship in the vast ocean. Nose: Cristiano Alori The very day Riccardo and Alessandro contacted me, explaining that they wanted to conclude their OPERA collection with a fragrance inspired by the pursuit of the mythical white whale, and that they chose me to interpret this scene, I immediately felt that I was the right perfumer for this composition! We agreed on a fulcrum of Amber Gris and, immediately after, the elements naturally unfolded in sequence in my mind. The rough wood of the Pequod Ship, the vast dark ocean, heavy salty ropes, a soft candlelight to counteract such difficulties, the pages of an old book...
