Montecristo
Montecristo by Masque Milano is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cabreuva, ambrette seed and rum, moves into tobacco, labdanum and benzoin and dries down to styrax, guaiac wood, cedarwood and patchouli. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cabreuva A soft Brazilian wood oil. Gently floral, like fresh-planed timber.
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
- Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
Heart
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Dry-down
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
