Milky Love

Milky Love from Les Perles D'orient is a dessert in a bottle, and makes no apology for it. Everyone who describes it calls it sweet, and a good number add musky; there is no wood, spice or citrus to speak of.

The notes read like a recipe. Milk gives a soft, creamy, slightly lactonic base that makes the sweetness feel smooth rather than sharp. Honey and caramel bring the sugar, the honey warm and floral, the caramel darker and toasted. Vanilla and tonka bean add a rounded, almost powdery sweetness, and white musk and musk pull it all close to the skin, so the finish is more like warm sweetened milk than like a pastry shop.

It is worn by anyone. A fragrance this sweet and comforting points to cold weather, evenings and casual wear, and suits a person who loves gourmand scents and wants one that is creamy rather than fruity or boozy.
