Duomo
The Fragrance
Like the spires of Milan’s Duomo, this fragrance is radiant and imposing. The top notes burst open with lime and lemon, enriched by the warmth of West Indian bay leaf to evoke vibrancy and contrast. At its heart, rich notes of CO₂ rum, bay leaf, cinnamon and clove create a deep, lingering aromatic symphony. The base reveals layers of Haitian vetiver, oakmoss and patchouli, amplified by musk and softened by suede — an ode to masculine freedom infused with enigmatic charm.
Top notes: Lime, Lemon, East Indian Bay Leaf
Heart notes: CO₂ Rum, Bay Leaf, Cinnamon, Cloves
Base notes: Haitian Vetiver, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Amber, Musk, Suede
Key ingredient: first used by sailors traveling the Caribbean, bay rum pays homage to old-world elegance and barbershop rituals.
The Nose
Founded in Berlin by perfumer Marie Urban Le Febvre, Urban Scents approaches artistic perfumery as an ongoing dialogue between tradition and experimentation. From her atelier in Trieste, Marie creates sophisticated, nuanced fragrances while developing olfactory projects that intersect art, science, and research.
“Inspired by its Caribbean origins in 1838, Duomo — once a local remedy that soon became a legendary eau de cologne — is my contemporary tribute to one of the most iconic barbershop fragrances in history. A bridge between past and present, it revives a timeless legend through a modern and elegant interpretation.”

The Cameo
Encased in a precious 100 ml faceted glass bottle inspired by antique crystal perfume ampoules, the fragrance presents itself as a true objet d’art. A refined brass-finished metal structure enhances its silhouette, while a finely engraved cap seals its elegance.
The bottle is embellished with a distinctive cameo depicting Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan and patron of the Duomo’s construction — an enduring symbol of the vision, grandeur and ambition that shaped the city’s identity.
