Diurno
by Milano Fragranze
Diurno by Milano Fragranze presents a clean, aromatic fougere with a distinctive amaretto opening that gives way to herbal and woody notes. The initial burst of lavender, geranium, and amaretto creates a vibrant and slightly gourmand first impression, reminiscent of a spa or therapeutic bath, with a hint of sweetness that never quite reaches cloying territory. Over time, the fragrance evolves into a more balanced, dry herbal composition with sage and cedar lending depth and structure, while white musk gently softens the drydown. The amaretto note, though short-lived, marks the fragrance as uniquely personal and instantly memorable. It performs admirably in terms of longevity, often lasting throughout the day, though its projection is moderate and diminishes noticeably after the first few hours. The scent is not bold, but rather subtle and unobtrusive—ideal for daily wear in spring and summer, especially during daytime hours where it fits perfectly in professional or casual settings without drawing undue attention.
