Times Square

Times Square, composed by Bruno Jovanovic for Masque Milano in 2017, is a floral with a nutty, woody undertone. Floral is what everyone notices; about half also find it woody, and a minority describe it as sweet or amber-like.

The notes are listed together. Tuberose is the main flower, creamy and heady, paired with rose and violet, which add a softer, slightly powdery floral tone. Osmanthus brings its distinctive apricot-and-suede quality, fruity and faintly leathery. Hazelnut is the unusual element, adding a toasted, nutty sweetness that gives the fragrance a slightly gourmand edge without making it a dessert. Guaiac wood and sandalwood form a smooth, faintly smoky base, and styrax a balsamic resin.

Times Square is worn by anyone. By character it is an evening fragrance suited to cooler weather, lush and a little theatrical, and it suits people who like tuberose taken somewhere unexpected rather than played straight.
