Best wishes to all women
More than a racecourse, it makes me think of an Iranian park where galbanum plants and mimosa trees grow spontaneously. The beginning gives us the bitter green note of galbanum accompanied by violet and a hint of lavender, but it is the citrus note that does justice to the natural scent of mandarin. After this first phase, which lasts half a minute, the fragrance loses intensity, is graceful and remains so for the entire time. The essence that develops subsequently is that of mimosa, which is the dominant one, with other flowers such as ylang ylang in the background. Already at this point (so 5 minutes have passed since I sprayed it) the perfume is very faint and to detect it, you need to bring your nose less than 5 cm from the skin. I can't smell the base notes listed here and on the official Milano Fragranze website: no vetiver, no oakmoss (absolutely), perhaps a hint of sandalwood, detected by placing the nose on the skin. Basically it is a delicate mimosa perfume, to give as a gift for women's day. P.S. : i take this opportunity to wish all women a wish and underline their very important role.

Lovely spicy, resinous, fougere-type, new but classic
Milano Fragranze Derby is a spicy, semi-herbal, semi-fresh blend that has an immediately classic vibe, inspired by a horse race course, consisting of resins, sharp florals (lavender, violet), patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, and oakmoss. It definitely has the “late 20th century men’s signature scent” concept and does it quite effectively, and in a way that is fairly unique, not resembling another specific scent that I can recall, while nonetheless feeling a part of a grander tradition, rendering it a bit relatable despite its own character. It manages to achieve a spicy concept without using any spices per se, either, furthering sort of lavender-first fougere idea, and it walks the lien effectively between being a bit provocative and also being comforting, familiar, and somewhat easy to wear. The rather loud opening settles down quite a lot within an hour, and it’s a scent I meant even wear on a summer night, just perhaps not a summer day.

Overall, it’s an instant love, and I’m very impressed. Of the four I’ve tried, Derby and Basilica are my favorites. Derby, like the rest of the line, is priced at $135 for 100ml, in EDP concentration, a very reasonable price in the current market, and is sold at great boutiques like Perfumology that also sell the Masque Milano line.
