White Whale Mask Masque Milano - 35 ml

MASQUE MILANO White Whale EDP 35 ml After 10 years of work, the Opera collection is now complete: 16 Fragrances, divided into 4 groups of 4 fragrances each. Each group represents an "ACT" in the opera of MASQUE: ACT I - EXPERIENCES ACT II - INTERNAL MONOLOGUES ACT III - SENTIMENTAL RELATIONSHIPS ACT IV - DREAMS The lovers of MASQUE MILANO They know that the OPERA collection has paid multiple homages to literature, particularly Anglo-Saxon literature (Romance – Victorian Narcissus, dedicated to Wilde's celebration of dandyism and narcissism; The Picture of Dorian Gray; Love Kills, inspired by the quintessential love tragedy, Romeo and Juliet; and Lost Alice, a tribute to Lewis Carroll's fantastic Alice's adventures). “Completing this Opera Collection has been a dream for us and a goal that we have pursued for the last 10 years. For this reason, our ultima fragrance was inspired by literature's most obsessive quest: Captain Ahab's pursuit of the mythical white sperm whale, Moby Dick." Alessandro and Riccardo “Tutti gli elementi of Herman Melville's novel were so useful in trying to imagine ourselves on una whaling ship in the vast ocean. Yet I longed to learn more, eager to gather more evidence before embarking on the journey of fragrance creation. So I convinced my wife to do una vacation, typically American, in Martha's Vineyard. We went to see the balene to Cape Cod and visited the Hunting Museum balene in Nantucket. We climbed countless roads until we reached numerous lighthouses, which guided sailing ships and kept them safe from the dangerous shoals and rocks around the islands, still in operation today. Exploring what was the epicenter of the whaling industry was extremely useful, not only for gaining una best inspiration, breathing the same ocean air that Captain Ahab smelled. It was essential to understand the essence of the lotta centuries-old conflict between man and the Leviathan, to shed light on the reasons why humanity has undertaken such bloodshed - quite inexplicable and anachronistic for a man of the 21st century". Alessandro Tutti gli elementi of Herman Melville's novel were so useful in trying to imagine ourselves on una whaler in the vast ocean. Nose: Cristiano Alori The very day Riccardo and Alessandro contacted me, explaining that they wanted to conclude their OPERA collection with una fragrance inspired by the pursuit of the mythical white whale, and that they chose me as the interpreter of this scene, I immediately felt essere the right perfumer for this composition! We agreed on a fulcrum of Amber Gris and, immediately after, gli elementi They unfolded naturally in sequence in my mind. The rough wood of the Pequod Ship, the vast dark ocean, heavy salt ropes, una soft candlelight to counteract such difficulties, the pages of an old book... You know how some songs can take years and countless changes before reaching their climax, while others can take a few minutes and practically recompose themselves effortlessly? Well, this was more like the second scenario (if only they were all like that!) The result is quite literal, crisp, and to the point. I loved seeing Alessandro and Riccardo's passion for how this story would translate into a perfume during our calls. Being part of their scented opera with all its different scenes was an absolute thrill for me. I can't wait to see what happens next. Cristiano Alori ACT IV – Scene IV WHITE WHALE “Call me Ismaele.
