Scents of Milan

Milan is a rich body of experience but there are eight scents that are the core essence of it. These scents revolve around the city’s historical scent memory, based on objects or associations particular to Milan we can all relate to – the coffee, the roses and books.

Scents of Milan was created to compliment the launch or Robyn Lea’s book celebrating the city.

This set of scents are designed to be either used as they are or layered together in combinations. Building and adding until you reach the true full essence of Milan.
