Embrace Imperfection: Discover MASQUE MILANO KINTSUGI Eau de Parfum
Inspired by the Japanese art of golden repair, MASQUE MILANO KINTSUGI Eau de Parfum is a captivating fragrance that celebrates the beauty of imperfection. This unisex scent merges Italian perfumery traditions with the wabi-sabi philosophy, inviting you to find elegance in the unconventional. Launched in 2019, KINTSUGI is a modern interpretation of the classic chypre structure, reimagined with sustainable raw materials and innovative accords.
Inspiration and Craftsmanship
KINTSUGI draws its inspiration from the ancient Japanese technique of mending broken ceramics with gold, embracing the flaws as part of an object's history. This concept of "golden repair" is mirrored in the fragrance's unique composition, which replaces traditional oakmoss with a savory amber accord, creating a salty, umami shimmer. The perfume is hand-crafted in Milan using the finest ingredients, including fractionally distilled Patchouli Coeur, which removes mustiness to emphasize earthy elegance.
Every detail of KINTSUGI reflects Masque Milano's commitment to artisanal craftsmanship. The custom-designed bottle, created by Bormioli glassmakers in Italy, features a tapering silhouette and a wooden stopper crafted by Alpine artisans. The luxurious round box, made by Cavalieri e Amoretti, is reminiscent of their renowned hat boxes. Gold accents on the packaging echo the "golden repair" theme, making KINTSUGI a true objet d'art.
