Love Kills

Love Kills by Masque Milano is a precise, green-tinged rose fragrance that unfolds with a strikingly fresh and aromatic opening. It opens with a distinct sharpness from geranium, which is balanced by a luscious, dewy rose core—especially the Turkish rose accord—which gives it floral depth without leaning into the powdery or sweet. The fragrant journey evolves into a dry, dusty, earthy dry-down with patchouli, cedar, and musk, recalling the final stages of a rose’s life. The scent is not overly sweet, nor does it veer into heavy oriental territory, making it an elegant and wearable rose soliflore. It's particularly well-suited for cool seasons, with strong appeal in spring and autumn. While the longevity is moderate and sillage is subtle to moderate, the fragrance holds a consistent presence on the skin, performing gently but persistently. The experience is more about narrative storytelling than novelty or shock, with a rich evolution from 'bloom' to 'withering.' Some find the geranium note overwhelming or the musk slightly cloying, but others appreciate the authentic realism and green earthiness of the rose. Overall, it's ideal for those drawn to clear, artful rose compositions that aren't overly sweet or fabricated—especially fans of fresh, green, or incense-tinged rose scents.
