Description
Petra by Masque Milano opens with a vibrant burst of pink pepper, bright bergamot, and juicy yellow mandarin, offering an invigorating and slightly spicy introduction. As it develops, a rich floral heart emerges with jasmine sambac and Moroccan rose, sweetened by fruity notes and a unique 'luqaimat accord'. The fragrance settles into a deep, resinous, and earthy base, featuring prominent notes of patchouli, ambergris, myrrh, incense, benzoin, and a soft leather accord, creating a sophisticated and enduring presence. This scent is known for its complexity and how it beautifully balances fresh, sweet, and dark elements. Perfumer: Cécile Zarokian
