Petra Le Donne di Masque

Petra by Masque Milano is a richly layered, gourmand woody fragrance with a dreamlike, luxurious character. The opening features bright bergamot and yellow mandarin, highlighted by a peppery pink pepper note, creating a luminous, slightly spicy freshness. This evolves into a deep, velvety heart of jasmine sambac, Moroccan rose, and sweet fruity accords, enhanced by ambergris and balsamic sweetness. The base builds upon warm, heavy patchouli, incense, myrrh, and leather, creating an enveloping, resinous warmth that lingers with intensity. The scent is most resonant in cold weather and on quiet, intimate occasions, with moderate to strong sillage. While many perceive it as an upscale, gourmanded version of Coco Mademoiselle with added spiciness and depth, others find its soapy, musky center overwhelming, and its strong animalic incense note divisive. Longevity is moderate to long, and the scent is generally rated as modern and opulent, though some criticize its lack of subtlety.
