Favorite Masque Milano?

[The_Cologneist]

I really love Russian Tea. Every time I wear it, it's a joy. What is your favorite from this house? I really wanna try most of the line, but would love to know which are the more favorable first!

Russian Tea. Excellent.

Montecristo for me. Interestingly, Russian Tea was the most underwhelming for me of the 5 or 6 I have tried.

Of the 3 I tried, I would rank them as follow:

1. Montecristo
2. Hemingway
3. Tango

That said, I'm not sure that comparing an animalic with a vetiver and an amber fragrance makes a lot of sense. What I can say is that these are top quality, and Masque brings classical themes to perfection and top quality, at the opposite of - for example - Nasomatto, which is more unique/original, but smells definitely synthetic. Two different esthetics: top elegance with a twist vs urban metrosexual more industrial smelling.

At discounters/ebay prices (~$100): well worth it, period.
At full retail price:
For someone on a budget who looks for unicity and best bang-for-the-bang: I would still recommend Montecristo, but the other 2 have serious competitors that are at the same level of quality and retail for less than Masque's price tag.
For someone who is used to pay full retail for Nasomatto: yes, well worth it, and I'd choose Masque over Nasomatto any day (just an example of similarly priced fragrances).

I've only tried Hemmingway and Montecristo. I would agree with the person above who said they were worthwhile. I think of the two that Montecristo stands out. It is more unique in its kitchen spice cupboard/rich old bachelors car smell. Hemmingway is just a fantastic execution of a study in dark vetiver. Both are really nice, and I think I would recomend them at 95 dollars for a 50ml, but they are 33ml, and a it more than that price usually. I haven't made the jump yet.

Montecristo was pleasant. The others I tried from the house were a pass.

Montecristo is definitely the best from the house for me. Though I'd recommend sampling for yourself before buying.

I have a 100ml bottle of Montecristo and considering how much I like it, I’m surprised I still haven’t tried anything else from the line. I have to at least check out Terralba since Delphine Thierry is the perfumer on that one too.

Montecristo smells of adobo sauce. Can't stand it.

Terralba

The best garrigue scent I've ever tried. I love mastic and there's lots of it here.
