White Whale
by Masque Milano
White Whale by Masque Milano unfolds as a delicate, sea-inspired scent with a balance of salty, fruity, floral, and woody facets. It opens with a sharp, ozonic burst of frankincense and salt, evoking a fresh morning beach with melon-like sweetness and subtle calone-like airiness, without being cliché. As it develops, the fragrance reveals a velvety, slightly leathery texture, enhanced by osmanthus and violet, creating a soft, powdery, and slightly sugared floral core. The base of vetiver, patchouli, ambergris, and cedar lingers lightly, adding dryness and earthiness, without becoming heavy or animalic. It wears close to the skin with moderate, subtle sillage and a harmonious evolution that feels refined and well-blended, though not particularly long-lasting.
