Masque is the tale of the two co-founders, Alessandro and Riccardo.

Two lads with plenty of shared passions. Passions for traveling, reading, music. They love design objects, natural materials, hand-made details. They believe in – and relentlessly look for – a committed working life, as well as in the joie de vivre and of pampering themselves. They are two diehard dreamers, who resolved to bring their emotions to life.

In the symbolic year 2010 – after long years of researches among noses in Grasse and artisans across Italy, Masque Cosmetics Milano was born. Fascinated by perfumes and fine fragrances, they strengthened their background starting an educational program in olfactory techniques (encompassing study of the reference books, attendance to seminars and training courses, and burning their midnight oil with untold practice hours) and started feeling at ease in the enticing world of noses and raw materials. They start writing some memories, and soon come up with a collection of “scenes”, representing moments of their past lives, places they visited, friendships and loves, feelings, deja-vus and recurring dreams. “If we only 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...”

Not just Orchestra Directors, they now turned into playwrights and producers of an Opera, in whose Acts and Scenes young and talented noses – rising stars of worldwide artistic perfumery – would wear the mask and interpret their roles. It was 2013, and Masque Milano was born.
