About You... by Masca Parfums is a crisp floral woody musk with a translucent, watery texture. The smell opens with tart cassis and juicy nashi pear, transitions into a heart of dewy rose and peony, and settles into a smooth base of white musk and sandalwood. It feels bright, green, and subtly soapy throughout wear.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe main accords shift predictably from bright citrus and green fruitiness to a dominant fresh rose heart. On skin, the tartness of cassis moderates the sweet peony, while white floral gardenia adds weight. As the hours pass, musky and soft spicy undertones merge with sandalwood to produce a clean, skin-clinging finish.

Performance falls squarely into the moderate category. Expect four to six hours of total wear time, with sillage projecting within arm's length for ninety minutes before pulling into a skin scent. This controlled projection makes it ideal for office environments, warm spring days, and high-humidity summer afternoons where heavy orientals or thick vanillas become stifling. Reapplication around lunchtime will be necessary if you want full-day presence.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Masca Parfums About You Review: A Crisp Botanical Rose Scent”
Luca Maffei opens About You... with an energetic burst of lemon and tart cassis. The blackcurrant note carries a sharp green bite that instantly cuts through the initial spray. Within two minutes, crisp nashi pear enters to smooth out the acidity. The pear adds a subtle watery sweetness without turning the opening into a sugary fruit bowl. It feels brisk, clean, and immediately refreshing on a hot morning.
As the bright top notes settle, the floral heart comes forward. Dewy rose takes the lead, supported by airy peony and creamy gardenia. The rose here is green and petal-fresh rather than heavy or jammy. Gardenia lends a slight velvety depth that prevents the peony from feeling too thin. Together, they create a light floral veil that floats comfortably over the skin for the first two hours.
On warm skin, the transition to the base happens gracefully around the three-hour mark. Pale amber and clean white musk emerge, wrapping the lingering rose petals in a soft blanket. Sandalwood provides a subtle woody anchor, though it never feels dense or smoky. The overall dry down remains smooth and soapy, retaining gentle pear crispness until the fragrance completely fades.
Performance falls squarely into the moderate category. Expect four to six hours of total wear time, with sillage projecting within arm's length for ninety minutes before pulling into a skin scent. This controlled projection makes it ideal for office environments, warm spring days, and high-humidity summer afternoons where heavy orientals or thick vanillas become stifling. Reapplication around lunchtime will be necessary if you want full-day presence.
In terms of audience, Masca Parfums targets this release at lovers of modern, clean floral compositions. While floral notes like rose and gardenia traditionally lean feminine, the green cassis and dry sandalwood keep the blend balanced enough for unisex wear. It suits anyone looking for an understated daily signature that feels polished without commanding an entire room.
About You... does not attempt to reinvent the floral woody musk genre, and its moderate longevity might disappoint fans of heavy projection. However, the quality of Maffei's blending is clear. If you want a bright, crisp rose scent with pear and clean musk for spring, this is a solid choice. Grab a sample first to see how the cassis performs on your skin chemistry.
