Fragrance du Bois Milano Parfum

Description

Milano is Fragrance Du Bois's portrait of Italian elegance: Sicilian bergamot, orange, and thyme open bright, saffron adds an early spiced edge, and a heart of fruity notes, frankincense, and jasmine leads into a rich leather base rounded out with musk, amber, woody notes, and vanilla. Perfumer Shadi Samra built Milano as one of the house's Leather compositions: notably, it's one of the few Fragrance du Bois releases that skips oud entirely, leaning on leather and amber instead for its depth.

Scent Character

• Sweet: 29%
• Fresh: 25%
• Leathery-Ambery: 17%
• Woody: 12%
• Spicy: 8%
• Floral: 8%

Translation: this is a leather-forward composition. The dark amber-leather warmth in the base is real, but there's no agarwood in the formula despite the depth it reads as.
