Masque Milano Sleight of Fern Review (Stephanie Bakouche) 2022 + Just Before the Curtain Drops Draw

  1. Masque Milano Sleight of Fern

 Masque Milano’s penultimate act brings Sleight of Fern, the brand’s nod to old school fougeres. But, of course, this is Masque Milano, so Sleight of Fern is no run-of-the-mill barbershop splash, but an emerald potion that dances between breezy green chypre and classical, hay-like fougere. This is fougere with a clever, chic twist. Think what it might smell like if Houbigant Fougere Royal and Coty Chypre moved in together and then brought Gobin-Daude Sous le Buis home for a bit of t’other. With its upbeat tempo and clever, chic riffs on classical fougere and chypre structure,  Masque Milano Sleight of Fern combines timeless elegance with verdant friskiness. It is at once as classic and modern as Isabella Rossellini in a menswear suit and just as stunning.

Masque Milano co-founder Alessandro Brun has a personal affection for “Italian old-style fougeres” because they strongly remind him of his grandfather. The beauty of such fragrances, he says, “lies in their simplicity. Exactly like the people of the generation of our grandparents. A silent generation that passed through WWII and helped re-build our country. A homage was due, yet at the same time too simple a fragrance, or in any case something quite classic, wouldn’t fit well in our Masque Milano collection. Needing an “artist of fougeres,” Brun called upon Grasse-based perfumer Stephanie Bakouche, creator of the much-loved fougere Invasion Barbare for MDCI.

“But we needed more than just dexterity in perfumery,” says Brun. “We needed some magic.
That’s why we asked Stephanie to perform a sleight of hand. A magic trick in which what you seem to see is not what you really see – a sort of an illusion. A fougere construction that looks classic at first, yet so perfectly modern
.”

And Stephanie Bakouche achieved just that, a hat trick of clever chic riffs on fougere that is delightfully spritely and lush in turns. Masque Milano Sleight of Fern starts off with the most gorgeous green opening this side of Houbigant’s Royal Fougere. She pulls off a brilliant deep verdancy so crunchy I swear I could add it to salad. There’s plenty of bergamot and lavender, as one would find in a classic fougere, but they are overlaid with piney lentisque and a generous pinch of thyme, providing an immediate leafy contrast to the classic fougere top notes without a trace of galbanum. But perhaps the most stunning aspect of Masque Milano Sleight of Fern is the fig sap note that stands in for the fougere’s coumarin. It adds the saturated, off-sweetness needed to balance all that elegant greenery.

 A floral middle of fresh, young tuberose and narcissus fleshes out the fragrance with a gentle voluptuousness that reminds me a bit of Rogue Perfumery’s brilliant Chypre Siam. But before long, Sleight of Fern dances off back to its green underpinnings. Throughout its wearing, Masque Milano Sleight of Fern weaves in between a fougere and green chypre. On second spray, I notice this more prominently. Coty Chypre’s characteristic soapiness washes through the head notes, followed by a devil-may-care splash of oakmoss. But just as my nose attunes to “chypre,” I find that lavender-sap medley humming along, turning and giving a big herbal wink in old-time fougere style. As it wears, the fragrance shifts back again to chypre, as the woody base and patchouli colour in the drydown.

Act IV.III

Despite being the next to last fragrance in the Opera collection, Masque Milano Sleight of Fern has no regrets. It is one beaming smile of a fragrance, upbeat in tempo and classical in its elegance, and completely genderless. If I am ever taken with the desire to skip down Corso Venezia, this is what I want to be wearing.

    Given that I have an Italian background from my mother’s side, I can understand what an “italian fougere” should smell like: simple yet sophisticated, clean, powdery and powerfull. Great review, I am dying to sample some Masque Milano fragrances, they are getting alot of hype lately. Thank you for the opportunity. From Romania, EU.

  • I have never had the pleasure of trying a fragrance from this house, but this sounds like a beautiful tribute to the greatest generation ! In maryland

  • Fougeres are my favorite genre of perfumery. The fact that this fougere green chypre sounds very enticing. I love Russian Tea. Masque Milano fragrances are very unique so I have high hopes for Sleight of Fern.
    Oklahoma, United States

  • I have not tried Masque Milano brand but am intrigued by the many reviews here of their different perfumes, with a nod to Italian history and culture. Curious about how fougere and chypre come together in Masque Milano Sleight of Fern. And also the fig sap accord intrigues me. Thanks for yet another wonderful draw. From USA.

  • Regis Monkton says:

    The Fougere fragrance family is one of my favorite fragrance families. This new one from Masque Milano seems like a unique one which I would enjoy. I haven’t tried anything yet from this company, but I’ve tried the first eight fragrance releases from Milano Fragranze, though. In this fragrance, I want to see what the: piney lentisque, the thyme, the fig sap note, and the rest of the notes are all like and how they accompany each other. I live in the U.S.A. I truly hope that I win this one.

  • What strikes me about this fragrance is the fig sap note that stands in for the fougere’s coumarin. I don’t have a favorite MM. US

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    Two weeks in a row, two Masque Milano reviews in a row, and two blasts from the past .
    White Whale because of the book I loved as a kid , and Sleight of Fern because of the comparisons with fragrances I’m used to smell on my dad , and grandpa.
    Since I don’t know what I could expect from it , because the scent according to Lauryn changes a lot , I’d call Sleight of Fern …Mysterious.
    Masque Milano to me = Russian Tea , one of a kind raspberries , and black tea fragrance
    Thank you for the opportunity
    USA

  • Wonderful another Masque Milano Fragrance. I love the whole collection. This sounds beautiful the notes.. Thank you for this Chance USA

  • Bryant Worley says:

    What strikes me about the fragrance, is that it sounds like it’s a big burst of greenery (which is quite appealing), with the reviewer using such a word as “voluptuousness”, and further calling it “crunchy”. And it would seem to have an air of uniqueness, which appeals greatly. I don’t have a favorite, as I have not tried any from the house, but I’m looking forward to getting my nose on Tango.

    I live in Waldorf, Maryland, USA.

  • Starlit12 says:

    What a graceful sounding perfume, the genderless scent with a green opening and a soapy chypre heart promise to embrace the wearer in any occasion, especially now that summer is coming! Fougeres never go out of style.
    I am in the EU.

  • What strikes me is that this fragrance seems to be both playful and an tribute to two classical type of scent. It’s even more intriguing with the mention of hat trick, crunchy salad, and its fig sap accord. My favourite Masque Milano is Kintsugi. From EU , France.

  • Omg, I love fougeres fragrances and an Italian fougere really sounds something amazing, even more if it was made by Masque Milano. Tuberoses, narcissus fleshes, green chypre, don’t need to say more.
    My favorite Masque Milano fragrance until now is Tango.
    USA here.

  • Masque Milano Sleight of Fern seems like an interesting twist on the fougere genre that employs fig note. Stephanie Bakouche is a great choice because whenever I hear her name, the first fragrance that comes to mind is masterpiece fougere Invasion de Barbare. Looks like Masque founders understand her strengths in the fougere category, hence, specifically, chose her for Masque Milano Sleight of Fern. Thanks for the draw. I am in US. My fav. Masque is, of course, L’Attesa of which I have nearly half liter stash now.

  • Any interesting twist on fougeres, which are my favorite, is welcome. I dont have a favorite Masque Milano. NV, USA

  • Katharina Stefanich says:

    I really love how Sleight of Fern is such a “soft” and creamy Fougère, that is super easy to wear. No sharp notes, no soapy barbershop vibe. I would totally love to wear this, even though I am a woman, which is also what I adore about it, it’s perfectly unisex <3

    Commenting from Vienna, Austria (EU)

  • It is always great to see a classic style with a modern twist. I have never heard of a fig sap accord! It would be so interesting to see how it mixes with the green fougere notes. This would be my first Masque Milano fragrance if I win. I live in CA, USA.

  • liberation says:

    A fougere with fig sap, tonka and oakmoss sounds perfect and the comparison to “Isabella Rossellini in a menswear suit” which is “ just as stunning” is exactly how I imagine it, and I am so glad that this fougere fragrance is unisex as I am a fan of fragrances which are not traditionally recognized as feminine, and this could be a lovely smooth green scent for me. However I do love Lost Alice and Russian tea as well. Greetings from Austria, EU.

  • RiccardoC says:

    Wow….being italian, I really love classic and green fougere. Lately, this style of fragrance has become one of my favourite, if not my favourite.
    This one seems really a fragrance to have. This illusion of a classic fragrance that turns modern is really interesting, and I love the idea of a sparkly green opening with a touch of cyphre.
    And the fig sap accord? Really love to try that, never seen it in a fougere fragrance.
    Riccardo, Italy (EU)

  • Masque Milano and his team of creative directors and perfumers has been doing master pieces for the past 12 years. Here they hired perfumer Stephanie Bakouche who created Invasion Barbare to do her magic (as one of the final acts of the Opera collection) with a consciously retrotake ( looking classic at first, yet so perfectly modern) on the fougeres. A italian old-style one following the memory of Sig. Brun Nonno. Opening in a lush green with the archetypical bergamot and lavender but with mediterranean herbs as lentisque an thyme to differ from others.A floral interlude to be back to the green chypre with the soap notes and the amazing oakmoss. And plays elegantly in between the classical fougere and the chypre. My favorite is Lost Alice by Mackenzie Reilly. I live in Spain, EU.

  • Winking lavender and a chypre with a touch of tuberose is something I find very intriguing, indeed! Thank you for the review, writing from the EU.

  • Wow, a fougere done in Masque Milano style? Sign me UP!! This sounds incredible and I am a huge fan of the whole house. My favourite ones are Montecristo, Russian Tea and Tango, but this one could be among the greats, especially with the narcissus note which I LOVE! I live in Croatia, EU.

  • The brilliant deep verdancy depicted was what struck the most about this new Masque Milano fragrance. I normally tend to gravitate towards Amber fragrances, yet I can’t resist crispy green top notes.
    From Masque Milano I love Romanza.
    Many thanks for this draw. I live in France.

  • he splendid review, as always :), reminds me of a sensual dance where all the components of the fragrance “embrace” in a perfect understanding. I love that a fougere, usually aimed at the male audience, in this case, is also worn with elegance by a woman.
    I have nothing of this prestigious Italian brand.
    Linda EU

  • What strikes me most about Masque Milano Sleight of Fern is the way in which it is describes as flirting back and forth between fougere and green chypre, masculine classic and unisex modern. Admittedly, I am a big fan of classic fougere style fragrances but have come to appreciate a good chypre. Although I have not yet had the opportunity to try any Masque Milano offerings, I have been blessed (thanks to ÇaFleureBon) to be able to sample Alessandro Brun’s other works from Milano Fragranze. It would be an absolute pleasure to be able to experience Sleight of Fern so thanks, as always, for the opportunity. Cheers from Illinois, USA!

  • ElenaChiss says:

    A magic trick in which what you seem to see is not what you really see – a sort of an illusion. A fougere construction that looks classic at first, yet so perfectly modern.

    This does it for me! Thank you! Europe

  • Southirina says:

    So green, so Italian, so frisky, so ..fern. I imagine wearing Sleight of Fern on a promenade in Florence, but not on Ponte Vecchio or in Santa Maria Novella, but in a local coffee shop, far away from tourists.
    Hugs from Romania

  • sephrenia300 says:

    Lovely review! What strikes me about Masque Milano Sleight of Fern is the idea of an innovative fougere that skirts the line between a classic fougere and a beautifully elegant emerald chypre. As someone who tends to dislike most fougeres but loves pretty much all chypres, this sounds like a chypre that I could really get behind – elegant, beautiful, and a playful rift on gender, like Isabella Rossellini in a menswear suit. Learning that it reminds the reviewer of Rogue Chypre Siam only intrigues me more, as that is one of my favorite fragrances.

    My favorite Masque Milano fragrance is Tango. I live in the US.

  • Notes: Bergamot Italy (Calabria), lavender France, Fig sap accord, lentisk EO Morocco, red thyme Spain, tuberose abs India, geranium EO Egypt, narcissus abs France (Auvergne), sandalwood, birchwood EO, patchouli, oakmoss, tonka bean abs. I am intrigued by the notes especially Patchouli and oakmoss in particular. My favourite from this house is is Tango. Thanks a million from the UK

  • Throughout its wearing, Masque Milano Sleight of Fern weaves in between a fougere and green chypre. On second spray, I notice this more prominently. Coty Chypre’s characteristic soapiness washes through the head notes, followed by a devil-may-care splash of oakmoss. But just as my nose attunes to “chypre,” I find that lavender-sap medley humming along, turning and giving a big herbal wink in old-time fougere style. As it wears, the fragrance shifts back again to chypre, as the woody base and patchouli colour in the drydown. I am intrigued by the notes and the switch between fougere and green chypre. My favourite from this house is Tango. Thanks a lot from the United Kingdom

  • I like how it is supposed to look like a classic fougere at first glance, but is done with a modern twist. My favourite scents from the brand are Tango and Russian Tea. I live in EU.

  • It was interesting to learn a bit more about fougere.
    Never tried any of the Masque Milano fragrances, maybe that’s my chance.

    I live in Portugal

  • kirisekiib says:

    I enjoy the style and ideas of Masque Milano, and my favorite from the brand is Madeleine. So I am really curious about the new one. I love that personal touch of Alessandro Brun, the story about his grandpa. Italian family relationships are one of many things that fascinates me about Italy.
    I am from the EU.

  • Masque Milano Sleight of Fern strikes me because of the twist on the fougere genre that employs fig note. It gives me the feeling of both playful and a tribute fragrance in the way that combines two classical types of scents. My favorite Masque Milano fragrance until now is Tango. EU

  • Great review! Glad to see MM getting more attention lately. I love fougeres, especially modern ones, so I will be sure to have to check out this frag. I have a personal favorite by MM: Montecristo. It was actually given to me in a random act of kindness by a complete stranger who thought I might like it. And I do! Cheers from NC, USA.

  • My favorite Masque Milano is Madeleine. It smells like a luxurious coffee shop. Sleight of Fern seems like a mix of the classic fougere and chypre structures and that is quite interesting. The fact that it reminds you of Chypre Siam makes me need to try it.
    I live in Denmark, EU.

  • I would love to win this perfume because I would love to wear a great fougere perfume, I have never tried any perfume created by Stephanie Bakkouche but Invasions Barbares is a mythical perfume. I like this idea: “if Houbigant Fougere Royal and Coty Chypre moved in together”. My favorite perfume of the brand is Romanza. I live in France, EU

  • hshinkoda says:

    What an interesting fragrance!!! All those notes combined sure makes a unique and perfect perfume. I love fig and tonka!!! I heard a lot about Masque Milano and I would love to try Sleight of Fern!!!

  • hshinkoda says:

    What an interesting fragrance!!! All those notes combined sure makes a unique and perfect perfume. I love fig and tonka!!! I heard a lot about Masque Milano and I would love to try Sleight of Fern!!! Massachusetts, US.

  • This sounds very intriguing: She pulls off a brilliant deep verdancy so crunchy I swear I could add it to salad. I have not tried any yet. Thanks for the giveaway. Georgia USA

  • petergigov says:

    Opera line or not, I find fascinating how just last week While Whale fragrance story Emmanuelle Varron told us , turned back the time for me , and now Sleight of Fern story had the same effect on me.
    I wonder if I spray the fragrance on my skin I would sense more of a fougere, or aromatic, or something in between.
    Russian Tea and Tango are my favorite Masque Milano fragrances.
    Another nostalgic Masque Milano giveaway, USA
    Regards

  • The amazing notes of the fragrance and it’s uniqueness spark my interest. I never tried any Masque Milano fragrance so I don’t have a favorite. I live in Poland, EU.

  • Teresa Cs says:

    The varied greens and levels of texture sound wonderful! I haventvtried many Masque Milano fragrances yet. I live in the USA.

  • GennyLeigh says:

    I love the phrase “verdant friskiness” It immediately brings to mind what Masque Milano Sleight of Hand intends, a modern, chic twist on an old school fougere. The sourcing of the ingredients is impeccable. The fig sap is an intriguing substitute for coumarin and I would love to experience the shift between the chypre and fougere described by Ermano. I’ve yet to try anything from this house. MD, USA.

  • Laurentiu says:

    Thanks for the chance of having the latest Masque Milano in our collections! I do like this houses DNA with some favorites being Hemingway and Tango. I feel that Sleight of Fern will not disappoint if it shares the same green crispness as Hemingway.
    I am in the EU.

  • Jasub Ojeda says:

    Wow… I love fougeres. Sadly, most feel that genre is outdated. I love the idea of a modern fougere that has such a seemingly great development. I’m not really sure of what constitutes a chypre, since fougeres seem to have similar elements, but I would love to try this fragrance out.

    Consequently, I have never gotten my nose on any Masque Milano fragrances, though I have heard a lot about Tango.

  • Uncle1979 says:

    Honestly I can’t say I’m a always dressed up kind of guy, or that i wear classy fragrances all the time , but Alessandro Brun and Riccardo Tedeschi picture , and the other one with buttons and fabrics made me realize I need to buy a suit for the two upcoming weddings I’m invited to. Sleight of Fern i could wear on such occasions.
    Russian Tea to me smells like Freshly baked Traybake Cake with Raspberries , and cup of Yunnan Black Tea with cinnamon and lime on the side. My favorite Masque Milano fragrance
    Appreciate the review, and the giveaway campaign
    USA

  • Alessandro Brun and Riccardo Tedeschi through Stephanie Bakouche fused two classical genres like fougere and chypre , and also adding some modern flair. I now how Sleight of Fern was made , and the inspiration behind it.
    L’attesa is the best Masque Milano . Buttery and creamy iris fragrance I own
    Thanks for the draw

  • Lovely review!
    What strikes me most about Masque Milano Sleight of Fern is the way in which its creators managed to masterfully combine aspects of a classic fougere and green chypre. I was also impressed by the integration of flower notes in the middle of the composition. The new potion from the Masque Milano house seems to be a perfect summer fragrance for me or/and my husband. 🙂
    I have not tried all of Masque fragrances yet, but until now, I was mesmerized by many of their creations. My beloved scent is Madeleine.
    Thank you for a lovely review and a generous giveaway.
    Greetings from Slovenia (EU).

  • This review from Ermano really adds to the impression I’ve gotten of this sent from Michelyn’s original introduction. This is part 3 of the 4th Act of the opera. Which I think means that it is representing the sentimental relationships found in dreams. A fougere/chypre is not what would have first come to my mind, but reading the descriptions, it is perfect. Bravo! I would love to try anything from Masque Milano, especially this Sleight of Fern. I am in the US.

  • AleksCipri says:

    I adore fougeres. My spouse even more. I was so excited Masque Milano finally released one. And the combination with fig sap that I love ,as well as tuberose must make this composition magical. I love this review and I will definitely try it! My favorite Masque Milano fragrance is Mandala as well as Ray-flection but I love a couple more offerings. I love this brand! I’m from Illinois, US.

  • joetelegram says:

    I love fougeres. I’ve been really enjoying Nishane’s B-612 by Chris Maurice. Super green, sweet, and addictive. I have been hearing a lot about Masque Milano from this website and I am eager to try this and “White Whale” as well. I just love the presentation on these bottles as well. Truly works of art.

    Thanks!

  • Thanks for this wonderful review Lauryn!

    I loved your review of White Whale and looked forward to learning more about another incredible release in the Opera Collection, Sleight of Fern!

    I have bought many many samples recently and I was starting to get a bit frustrated that none of the fragrances I tried really piqued my interest. I love Green/Chypre fragrances and when you mentioned it’s gorgeous green opening I really wanted to know more!

    The Fig sap note that stands in for the fougere’s Coumarin sounds like an absolutely delicious addition to an already incredible sounding fragrance! I can’t wait to try it!

    I do not have any Masque Milano fragrance yet, but my partner adore her Russian Tea and when she wears it, I instantly feel calm and comfortable. Incredible fragrance!

    Greetings from the UK!

  • foreverscents says:

    I am a big fan of Italian barber shop scents. There is something classic and sophisticated about fougeres. When I wear one, I feel so put-together and assured. I am intrigued with the fig sap accord.
    I love Montecristo from Masque Milano.
    I live in the USA.

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thank you for the great review! I have no idea who the reviewer is (I suspect that it might be Lauryn, based on the writing style. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style, especially the manner in which this fragrance transitions between a fougere and chypre.

    I thought that the use of fig leaf, tuberose and narcissus was quite brilliant in this, in place of some of the tradiitonal fougere structures and to highlight the transition into a chypre.

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • Eric Hwang says:

    Love the vegetal vibe of this fragrance which is my favorite style in general .. otherwise my favorite from Masque Milano is Alice in Wonderland ..from Chandler,Az

  • Mirea Luca says:

    My heart still aches for the white whale giveaway. I adore those beautiful animals. I am so glad Masque Milano is giving me another chance. I can not smell any of their fragrance here, but i will do a blind buy at some point, i hear that their fragrance line has some gems and this seems to be one of them. So, Sleight of Fern, green and fougere, two nuances i enjoy very much. I hope to treat myself as a salad and apply this beautiful, old style fragrance but with a twist, chic as you called it. Thank you for the opportunity! I live in Romania, EU.

  • I think this would make for a great gift to a man somebody holds dear. Kind of like a signature scent. Vintage, old style and full of class. A smell that you would want others to associate you with.
    Thanks!

    Europe

  • These perfumes that remind of us of old school classics are always a breath of fresh air and originality in nowadays times where everything is either sweet to the point of sickness or just plain boring as it smells like 100 different other fragrances. Thanks for both the review and the giveaway! Europe

  • Christos GX says:

    What strikes me about the fragrance is the combination of the veginess with the classic fougere aesthetic. Favorite masque milano fragrance would be: “Τango”. I live in Greece, EU.

  • WaltherP99 says:

    Awesome job Lauryn, I read it twice in a row, just in case I missed something.
    I received my “White Whale” , and “Sleight of Fern” samples today, and I have to say Lauryn review is spot on.
    Personally I don’t get the fig , and the tonka , but some traces of Uzo in the background .

    “classical in its elegance, and completely genderless.”

    Everyone is free to wear whatever they want, but I would never call “Sleight of Fern” genderless , to me there’s easily detectable throwback to the 50s and 60s fragrance , no wonder Alessandro Brun wanted an Italian old-school fougere, that would remind him of his grandfather.
    Personally I don’t get the fig , and the tonka , but some traces of Uzo in the background .
    If I have to rate my favorite Masque Milano fragrances:
    1.Russian Tea
    2.L’Atessa
    3.Tango/Romanza.
    Just followed Stèphanie Bakouche ,all other profiles I already follow , @waltherp99bg
    Thanks a lot
    USA

  • I love the cleverness of this sentence: “And Stephanie Bakouche achieved just that, a hat trick of clever chic riffs on fougere that is delightfully spritely and lush in turns.”Some would need a paragraph to say this. I think the sentnece matches well with the Masque Milano brand. I love tango and madala and wear them and time of year. Subtle but in all the goods way a fragrance can be subtle and powerful too

  • IvanVelikov says:

    Surprise, Surprise , on the 5th “Menswear image via brand” picture , there’s a few Ermenegildo Zegna Fabric Swatches . I’m sure because not only I’m a tailor working with Zegna fabrics, but also I’m the one in the shop, who orders the Swatches , and the fabrics directly from Ermenegildo Zegna Wool Mill .
    I don’t have the Swatches infront of me , but I believe the 222 Zegna TROFEO 600 Summer or 236 TROFEO Summer is the one on the right.
    As a tailor I have to say sitting down to work with a client in person on bespoke developments is one of the most enjoyable parts of our work , seeing the Swatches moved me , Sleight of Fern is fragrance for a free spirited person , having the old-school flair inside of him ,or her, if the lady is interested in such fragrances.
    In my possession is Tango Masque Milano = Holidays and festive season fragrance.
    Thank you Lauryn, and Masque Milano

  • Michael Prince says:

    What interests me about Masque Milano Sleight of Fern sounds so good with hints of classic, contemporary, and modern styling. An elequent mix of Chypre and Fougere that sounds truly delightful. I would love to try Sleight of Fern with its Green, Aromatic, and Earthy touches. I am from the USA.

  • Highlight of the review by Lauryn for Sleight of Fern ( Masque Milano) is a breezy green chypre and classical hay like Fougere. Upbeat in tempo and classical in its elegance and completely genderless. Sounds very appealing. I don’t have any favorite Masque Milano yet since I have not tried any yet.
