Milano

This is the second time I got a 2ml decant and the experience is pretty similar. First of all the scent. It is like a berry syrup with a leather undertone. So when it says "fruity", to me it is more like wild berries and some passion fruit but not mango or peach. Its sweet & sour, but like juicy syrupy sweet and sour. And paralel to that there is this leather note which gives it a luxury feel. The performance is fantastic. It is relentless. (as Im writing its summer) . Two sprays, one of which under the shirt and other on the neck and man it lasts all day. To the point where I think next time I will do one spray. Compared to some other Fragrance Du Bois that I tried, not many can actually compare with this performance. Some FDB I need to spray three to five sprays to get a similar strenght of sillage and then they still dont last as long. Also this being in the entry price tag of their lineup makes it a very good value proposition for this house. I absolutely do not understand what are people here talking about that it has "poor longevity". Certainly not my experience. I personally enjoy this fruity smell. It is very uplifting and joyful. I actually did not "fall in love" with it at first because at first sprays and minutes, well, it kind of seemed like some glorified room refreshner. But one or two wearings and it quickly became so addictive. If it wasnt for the leather note I would say it is more feminine leaning, but that leather really balances it out , its not dominant at all, but it puts it right in the unisex zone. Considering now a full bottle. //by the way , the similarity that people draw with Xerjoff Erba Pura is legit. Not so much at the opening but as they both dry down, they have extremely similar scent profile. I would have gone for a 50ml Erba Pura long time ago , because I do not think I actually need a 100ml of this scent profile, and Milano only comes in 100ml. But there is something in the Milano that simply draws me more than the Erba Pura so most likely 100ml Milano bottle is on the way. //Update 31/05/2022 - sorry but this is not going to be a FB. It just feels too synthetic after a few hours and kind of starts to bother me. As juicy and zesty as it is the first hour or so, after a while it becomes bothersome like some car refreshner. Def recommend to try since others may have different experience but not a blind buy.

Milano! Another great hit from the Fashion Capitals collection by Fragrance Du Bois! Starting of with a blast of bergamot and orange with a fruity undertone. By looking at the notes you would perhaps expect something heavier, with saffron, leather, olibanum, amber and woody notes. However it isn't heavy at all. The fresh opening is well balanced with the fruity aspect. Although not listed which fruits it contains, my guess would be passion fruit and peach. And to be honest, in the opening it resembles Erba Pura (Xerjoff) alot. Very pleasant since I also like that fragrance alot. Afterwards it does take a bit of a different direction. The leather starts to play in, eventhough it remains there merely at the back. Never overwhelming and never powerfull. The frontrow is still with the fresh citrusses and the sweet fruits. It is a well balanced perfume. Although leaning abit more feminine, it is still very enjoyable for men! I like to wear this one myself, even trying my very best to keep it out of the hands of my wife! In short Milano, eventhough not very unique in style, still smells very luxurious and gorgeous!

This fragrance is a mouth watering semi gourmand and a spicy aromatic fragrance constructed around the accord of leather. The fragrance opens up with the fresh citrus notes of Sicilian bergamot and orange so characteristic of the house Fragrance Du Bois with an addition of saffron and thyme. The middle stage of the fragrance is fruity, flowery and "incensy". An invitation to sensuality. The base is woody, musky, ambery, with a sweet vanilla accord and dominated by this luxurious leather note which becomes the conductor of this Milanese symphony. The dry down is long lasting and you will not go unnoticed while wearing it. It is like if Grand Soir by MFK and Erba Pura by Xerjoff had a golden child.✨👶🏼✨😊 The nose behind this lovely creation is the talented Shadi Samra . I can’t wait to wear this sweet gem and take a walk before diner around the Piazza del Duomo in Milan.🍕🤤 Just beautiful!😊

This perfume makes me want to bleach my hair and dye it bright pink , put on a fitted leather biker jacket , borrow the neighbours motorbike, change my name to something edgy.This is strong, but not overpowering. This is for that girl who knows what she wants, doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty , and her life has no limits. If you don’t particularly like leather, I don’t think this one would be for you at all however there is a sweetness from the fruity notes when it warms up on the skin, is it a safe Blind buy? NAHHH I bought a sample, and now I’m going to buy the full bottle. for sure this is everything! I saw a video on Karina’s YouTube and I knew I had to try it and I’m so glad I did I’m so surprised this masterpiece is so underrated Longevity 6hours ish Silage moderate Would I buy this again absolutely

Once i sprayed this i thought wow. Amazed at the beauty of the composition. Fruits and olibanum with this liquorish orange makes this fragrance a true masterpiece. You get transported in a sweat citrusy candy factory, i get a liquorish note that really is mouthwatering, i seem to be the only one reading the comments though ... I do not get the leather vey very subtle i get the vanilla the amber and the heavy musk but the leather to me doesn't feel like the protagonist here. This fragrance smells like money and to me it's worth the 300 eu pricetag, i've never smelled anything like this. 10/10

Very elegant fragrance. It resembles perfectly the Milanese style. Combine this with your leather jacket. classy and sophisticated scent. I have smelled similar perfumes but this is the most well blended one. smells expensive. where i would wear this? - night out. not for a romantic situation rather than in a night out with girlfriends.

I haven't read such clueless reviews in a long time. What cucumber? What Erba Pura? I highly doubt the people writing these comments have ever actually worn the fragrance. Those are my five cents.

Very sexy leather with some fruits. Unfortunately doesn’t last for too long on me as i would like, since it’s heavy priced. But ohhh it’s so sexy that I’m considering buying.

A truly amazing fragrance. Beautiful blend of bright citrus and fruity with jasmine on top of a rich amber musky leather. Very balanced.

Sweet candy leather, dna similar to aoud leather by Montale...but this one is more feminine...whilst still being unisex. Love it!

Absolutely wonderful. I was testing this out for a year now and finally bit the bullet- amazing in the summer time. I already have Tropiques which I considered the best by Fragrance du Bois, however this might become number one. If you like ombre leather this is a great addition to your collection. Indeed smells like erba pura with leather (would never purchase erba pura- synthetic mess) , however this is not synthetic and just feels luxurious. Big price tag, but a nice addition. Unisex for sure.

I love this smell. I only wish it had better projection. The fruity qualities are pleasant and not overly sweet. The leather is not too strong but is ever-present, providing a tinge of roughness to bring some interesting contrast. Longevity is good but the scent sits close to the skin, which would mean it is better accessed in intimate settings. Classy does not mean loud. In this case, Milano is an impressionable, sweet and soft-spoken scent that attracts the attention of those near to you.

Fruit & leather. I actually do get a slight cucumber vibe, but what it actually smells like to me is a fruit that I eat in Mexico called the Tuna Fruit (it's in the cactus pear family) - it tastes like a sweet cucumber, and that's what this smells like in combination with leather and a bit of soap. It's unisex but I can see this more so on a guy. For a more feminine (and ~better~) version of a fruity leather, Byredo's Black Saffron is my ride or die.

Everyone was right in saying this is Erba Pura with a hefty dose of leather. On my skin this smells too masculine but on my clothes the fruitiness and musk is more prevalent There’s something strange in this though, as others say it smells of cucumber I’m thinking maybe it’s the thyme messing things up. So I’m undecided on this one but it’s a like for me.

the opening smell is amazing, has that erba gold smell but refined and that italian leather smell after drydown. this is the ultimate summer resort fragance

Fruitiness of erba pura with mossy leather, which cuts through sweetness. Excellent and underrated for sure. Great leather scent for women also

I bought a discovery set from Fragrance du Bois and one of the vials arrived open with no liquid on the tube, but so much still on the paper of the packet. That was Milano... I rubbed my skin against the fair amount of liquid that was left and that's with what I'll work with. First of all, if you are a brand that sells perfumes at such a high price tag, attention to quality and detail are KEY. The quality of the sprayers of the discovery kit is VERY LOW, and I can say the same for the vials, THEY OPEN WHILE BEING SHIPPED. Fragrance du Bois should offer the quality they are charging very dearly. Just for that low quality of the vials, I don't feel like spending a dime on Fragrance du Bois, they should use vials like Creed’s that reflect the quality of their perfumes and prices. This vials are Pacco Rabanne quality level, and Pacco Rabanne's prices are 1/8th the amount you pay for a FDB, come on! Now, about Milano. This is a soft leather that also smells like saffron and pepper. It's a bold fragrance for a woman, and a bit light for a man. It actually smells like a leather cowgirl hat, I find it dark, mysterious and it could be alluring with the right attitude and attire. But, I would say it's too overpriced. I would prefer Deviant from Wesker, it has better price tag, better longevity and sillage, and it's more femme fatale. Side note: I ordered a decant to try Milano again, and trying it the right way actually made me dislike it more... It smelled more alluring on paper than on my skin. It reads quite sexual in my opinion, dominatrix vibes. I didn't like it. That leather, even if it's a softer note than in other perfumes, it's just too much. I guess I just like leather notes on men. But that's just my opinion.

I have no words to describe this fragrance cus it's a solid 10/10 on everything Longevity 10/10 Sillage 10/10 Smell 10/10 It's worth the price.the smell of the orange a the leather are screaming

It opens up as Erba Pura, in a few seconds leather comes through. Stays on as Urba Pura + slight hint of leather.

I will leave a simplistic review but to me this smells like cucumber. It`s wet and cold kind of scent.
