Italian niche brand Masque Milano has launched Madeleine, the third fragrance in the Le Donne di Masque collection. Also coming soon from the brand, Ray-Flection, in the Opera collection.
Madeleine ~ "Stopping at the legendary tearoom – like famous artists and fashion designers did since the turn of the XX Century – means turning back time, bringing back sweet memories that the talented Fanny Bal (the nose behind the creation of Madeleine) skilfully managed to capture in a sweet floral creation that will not pass unnoticed. Like a charming girl, sipping hot chocolate in Rue de Rivoli." The notes feature chestnut accord, chantilly accord, cumin, tuberose, cypress, geranium, tonka bean, milky musks and vanilla. Available in 10 and 35 ml Eau de Parfum.
Ray-Flection ~ "Act IV Scene II. A dream. A flower, with an incredibly intense smell. And huge, humongous. Not a normal flower, one that you can find on earth. This flower was emitting a surprisingly bright light. As the time passed by, and the light grew even more dazzling, the flower starts melting, dripping like honey from a rich and mellow honeycomb. “For this new chapter of the collection, we decided to create an “alien flower”, a floral perfume that has never been smelled before.”" Developed by perfumer Alex Lee, with mandarin, sparkling aldehydes, cardamom, mimosa, violet leaf, solar rays accord, beeswax, cedar and musk. In 35 ml Eau de Parfum.

Haven’t tried this line but I appreciate the small sizes.
10 ml always makes me happy 🙂
I really should sniff my way through this whole line. I love L’Attesa with wild, firey abandon, so hopes are high…
Good luck!
I have recently wrote about both.
They are not bad but more mass-appealing than Masque earlier fragrances.
Haven’t tried Ray-flection but Madeleine was love at first sniff.
I’ve also heard Madeleine was commercial smelling. I’m not too inspired to seek out a sample, but I will smell it if I see it in stores.
