A powdery iris that takes time and understanding
When I decided to add a perfume of Masque Milano to my collection, I researched the house a bit and stopped at L`Attesa (Waiting). I was drawn to the iris note that I don't know why I imagined it was similar to the one in Amouage Black Iris. My expectation was deceived but not in an unpleasant way, on the contrary.
I discovered a powdery iris, airy and quite strong despite the smell that would not give you the feeling at first that it can have a long life in perfume. It is supported by violet, leather that has the role of giving depth to the perfume and oakmoss. The champagne in the opening, yes it there... but it blends very well with the powdered iris which does not make it stand out as a completely distinct note.
It is a different iris that is worth trying, a contemplative iris, softer but which in terms of performance rises to the level of expectations. It persists on the skin very well and radiates in the first two, three hours after which it remains at the level of the skin, still feeling when it is carried by wind.
The fragrance is unisex, the combination of champagne and powdered iris tilts the balance for the feminine side while the woody-leather base that takes root in the iris along with the good performance make it wearable without any shadow of a doubt by men.
It can be used in spring, summer, even autumn, making it versatile in almost any situation.
The presentation is also beautifull. The atomizer is phenomenal, the name of the perfumer is engraved on the glass collar and on the front is drawn a watch that symbolizes waiting in antithesis to the passing of time.
A pleasant surprise from Masque Milano, which I hope to find in other perfumes of the house.
