Milano
by Fragrance Du Bois
Milano by Fragrance Du Bois is a light, fruit-forward leather scent with a subtle sweet and musky base, evoking a modern, urban elegance. It opens with a bright, citrus-fruity surge of bergamot, orange, and saffron, layered with thyme and fruity notes—think melon, passion fruit, and wild berries—giving it a refreshing, almost herbal quality. This crisp top note fades into a soft leather-musk core with vanilla and amber, which remains delicate and cloud-like rather than heavy, making it feel wearable and approachable. The fragrance blooms gradually, revealing a pleasant balance of sweetness and subtle animalic warmth, with an undercurrent reminiscent of a cigarette note on skin—smoky but not harsh, adding intrigue and sophistication.
Pros
- +The carefully blended, soft leather base creates a luxurious yet restrained feel without being overwhelming.
- +The fragrance has a high-quality performance with moderate longevity and sillage, making it long-lasting and noticeable without dominating the space.
- +The scent is versatile and accessible, appealing to both men and women, and stands out as a unique, modern take on the fruity-leather theme.
Cons
- −The scent can become reserved and intimate on skin, requiring close proximity to be appreciated.
- −The sweetness and fruitiness may appear synthetic or superficial to those sensitive to sweet accords.
- −The leather note remains subtle but persistent, which may be unappealing to those who dislike leathery elements.
