Description

Masque Milano Lost Alice is an olfactory journey into too much black pepper, white roses (painted red), mad tea and carrot cakes. The inspiration for the fragrance comes from A Mad Tea Party, Chapter 7 where one could almost smell the Hatter’s tea, milk, bread and butter, served in a bucolic setting. Add some scones to complete a very Brit cream tea, and the magic is complete. According to Masque Milano's website the listing of notes is:

“SMELL ME” (Head Notes): Bergamot, Ambrette Seed, Clary Sage France, Too Much Black Pepper*
“DRINK ME” (Heart Notes): Carrot Heart, Orris Concrete, English Tea, White Roses (Painted Red)
“EAT ME” (Bottom Notes): Sandalwood India, Broom Absolute Italy, Fleur de Lait (Steamed Milk Accord)

* …and, no, the black pepper is not too much. It is balanced to perfection!

The fragrance was created by Mackenzie Reilly who states: "First of all, Lost Alice is not your typical gourmand! It does have gourmand attributes, but it also has facets of citrus, woods, florals, musks, resins, and herbs. In fact, it’s a bit of an enigma... much like Alice herself; elusive and hard to define. The top of the fragrance has fresh tea notes, which incorporate bergamot, black pepper, sage, and mate absolute. The heart goes into a delectable cake with ginger, carrot heart, iris, rose, and broom absolute. The dry down is an addictive cocooning blend of fleur de lait, steamed milk, and musk. I think the journey from top to dry is really special, as it evolves so much and so smoothly on the skin, while still surprising you with each new note that appears.”

Lost Alice is an eau de parfum, edp.

Reviews of Masque Milano Lost Alice

Excerpt from cafleurebonThe pepper and bergamot in the top act like a Rossini-like overture, full of elation and vigour. Following in quick succession is that delicious scone-carrot cake accord, dripping melted butter and caramel. But before things get too sweet, it gets all dirtied up with musk from that ambrette. As the various accords coalesce, Lost Alice becomes wonderfully lovely. Dreamy, clever, luscious and sophisticated, this is one of the best, most beautifully composed tea scents I have ever smelled. If ever there was a reason to throw oneself headlong down the perfume rabbit hole, this is it.

Excerpt from colognoisseur: This is a perfume made up of three distinctive accords. The opening is Earl Grey tea replete with bergamot over which a cloud of black pepper and sage hover. This was directly inspired by a line from the book describing a part of the tea party where there is “too much” pepper in the air. Here it is just right. By using the sage it harmonizes to give an expansive air to the pepper which keeps it from becoming overwhelming. The heart is built around orris concrete. Ms. Reilly reinforces it through ambrette seed and carrot. This makes sure the powdery part of the rhizome is held in check. This orris is earthy root. This one reminds me of dough. Which is when a fabulous accord of sweet cakes arrives. The orris and the sweet rise together into the spicy top accord. It comes to a close around a steamed milk accord given depth and creaminess through sandalwood. The final addition is what makes Lost Alice rise to new heights. As homage to the Italian creative directors Ms. Reilly uses the LMR version of Broom Absolute. This ingredient flows through the perfume. It gathers in the sweet cakes and adds a little honey. There is a grainy texture which adds froth to the steamed milk. Finally it is a catalyst through which the whole perfume ignites. It creates a vividness which envelops it all. Lost Alice has 12-14 hour longevity and average sillage.

    I am not sure what it is about this perfume but I keep smelling my wrist all say long. Absolutely gorgeous and light. When you put it on, it doesn't hit you in face, in fact I keep adding more and more and feel like I can't get enough.
