MASQUE MILANO

Alessandro Brun and Riccardo Tedeschi are the founders and creative directors of Masque Milano. The two share passion for traveling, reading, music, design objects, natural materials, and handmade details. After years working with some of the largest luxury brands in the world, they embarked on an extensive journey, researching scents and essences in Grasse and artisans across Italy.

They put down their memories in words, which turned into a collection of “scenes”, representing moments from the past, places visited, friendships and love, emotions and recurring dreams. “If only we could bring to life each of these scenes …we would reveal our innermost self, soaring from an absolutely intimate and ineluctably private standpoint, to view things from a universal perspective…” Working with some of the most talented noses — rising stars in worldwide artistic perfumery — these acts and scenes became the foundation for their expansive four part series, The Opera Collection, through which each perfumer “wears the mask” and interprets a role through the medium of perfume.
