DESCRIPTION

Masque Milano has gained a well-earned reputation as a launching pad for young talent- a brand that takes chances on up-and-coming noses and gives them the freedom to discover their creative voices. So when they met IFF trainee Fanny Bal and heard of her ingenuity with vetiver, a seed was planted. And who better to dedicate a scent built around vetiver- rough and spicy, earthy and sweet, rich and complex- than Ernest Hemingway? Bal produced a sweepingly literary tribute to vetiver built from an exquisite vocabulary: woody, dry and spicy Haitian vetiver, with a slight bitterness. This provides an ideal contrast for the tart rhubarb at the opening. Javan vetiver is dirtier, with smoky tones and leathery facets to blend with the patchouli and leather base. Vetiver Heart LMR isolates the clean, dry heart of the grassy material without the earthiness, anchors the heart of the fragrance.
Short note list does not mean that this fragrance is simple. On the contrary: exactly like the prose of Hemingway – where short sentences, straight to the point, were actually pointing at a very deep meaning – the perfumery style of this homage to Hemingway is minimalist in the notes yet very complex in the evolution, particularly on the skin.
