Milky Fragrances
Milky fragrances: creamy softness
The milky sensation comes mainly from lactones, a family of molecules also responsible for the velvety quality of peach and the monoï effect of coconut. Some natural materials possess this quality in themselves: sandalwood, fig, or ylang-ylang in its first fractions.
Milky is not exactly gourmand. It evokes milk, cream, and skin more than dessert, and often remains less sweet. It is a comforting and enveloping register, highly sought after in contemporary perfumery for its ability to soften rougher materials such as dry woods or spices.
