Diurno

Milano Fragranze Diurno’s description of “a timeless fougere with a subtle hint of amaretto” feels highly accurate, the mix featuring the amaretto itself, then lavender, geranium, sage, and cedar. So it has the spicy/herbal/woody center with the fougere’s signature, lavender, and then amaretto, which feels like the most substantial single note, to make the fragrance into something different and new. It’s instantly impression-making, with some element of freshness and a classic fougere that make it seem universal, but at the same with an idiosyncratic amaretto note that’s bound to delight some (like me) though perhaps confound others who are less keen on the almond liqueur, despite the abundant Disaronno TV ads of the 2000s. For me, Diurno an instant love, the sharp/boozy/sweet aspect of the amaretto being a playful contrast to the more centered and traditional fougere elements, not quite opposites at play, but still a neat blend of elements that I hadn’t previously considered as eligible companions. I’m really impressed with it, as it’s among my favorites I’ve tried of the house to this point. My impression of the Milano Fragranze line is that it’s a little more accessible than the perhaps more artistic Masque Milano line that preceded it, but more to come on that as I continue to sample the blues, as I’m calling them. Like the rest of the Milano Fragranze line, Diurno is very reasonably priced at $135 for 100ml, in EDP concentration, and is sold in the US at beloved boutiques like my own local Perfumology. 8 out of 10

This is heaven, the use off amaretto and the Clash between old and new, Ive newer been a major fougere fan cause i find the genre a bit boring and remind me off old people and the mortality off man... 👀... Hrrhmm! But this is a gem when looking for a clean smelling man scent, im not saying only men can wear it but it does smell like the classic male scents from olden times gone by. But it never gets to heavy on the soap or geranium,It keeps a light body and just smell off high grade ingredients. Iff your looking for a "fresh" take on the fougere this is for you. Iff you like boring super linear scents that smell like wunderbaum in a wett pine forest and a bucket off oakmoss keep on walking buddy. Also Iff you like playful fougeres like 1725, beau de jour, at the barbers💦 you might like this alot just like me

Diurno is the first fragrance I have tried from the Milano Fragranze house. It's released as a fougere. The scent is very unique, which to me is a modern interpretation of the classic Fougere. The important accord here is the Amaretto note, which makes the fragrance unique with and almondy, fruity, and slightly sweet twist. I count this as a boozy fragrance, if you are a fan of this category, this would be an interesting fragrance. The contrast between herbal freshness and warm-sweet facets is interesting. It's not a very sharp herbal or very soapy fragrance like many of the Fougere ones. The aromatic, sharp edges of the herbal notes are softened with musk and amaretto. Performance is good with moderate sillage. A very wise and intresting signature scent! 8/10

This is weird in a very good way. The first hour it’s definitely unisex or even a bit more masculine, due to the lavender in the top and fir balsem and vetiver in the base (which are not listed here). Then it settles in a soft herbal soapy scent, however very one of a kind. It indeed reminds me of a spa or thermae. Sillage is about one armlength, which is quite strong for a soapy scent. Two sprays last the whole day!

Ok landshark321 you’re review stole the show! On me I didn’t get much fougere in fact if you wouldn’t have said it I wouldn’t of even known it was one. To me on first try it just smelled pretty sweet but fresh. I’m in love! This like most samples I went into blind and fell hard. This and panetone I’m loving. Definitely full bottle worthy and to know it’s available at perfumology is a heaven sent. So I thank you !
