I’ve tried sage in perfumes before. While I do like that green note, two people who let me wear it gave me nausea and total rejection. The quality is there, but I don’t think it’s as interesting a masculine green as they promise.
I’m sorry, although I acknowledge it is among the best out there, this isn’t for me. I put on a drop and it gave me a stomach turn; I’m not sure if it’s the narcissus or what, but I had to scrub it off with soap until it was gone. I simply cannot stand it.
I adore florals, especially those that evoke childhood memories at my grandparents’ house, with their roses, carnations, and ferns. Romanza by Masque Milano is that bottled, but with maturity. It’s a complex, animal scent with great character, for those looking to go beyond the ordinary. It has three phases: a yellow-green metallic floral with narcissus and violets, a soapy touch of jasmine and anise, and a dark, animal base with myrrh, amber, and a brutal synthetic civet that makes it green and imposing. It’s a complex experience; don’t buy it blindly, but if you like cypresses and seek something uncommon, it’s a beast with incredible performance.
It starts super green and bitter with angelica, absinthe, and vivid florals like jasmine and narcissus—very classic but with a rough edge and a dose of ugliness from the civet, giving it a nostalgic, artisanal air. It reminds me of launches by Abdes Salaam. Over time, the florals blend with the base into infinite beauty. If you’re not looking for something easy to digest and prefer beauty that doesn’t stick to your face, don’t even try it. The quality is enormous and noticeable.
