Milky Way

The first spray is rich and smooth, with caramel and dark plum poured over milk. The heart adds cashmere wood with jasmine, orris and ylang ylang, softening the sweetness with a floral, slightly powdery note. In the base, sandalwood, vanilla and tonka bean leave a warm, woody trail.

Rated at eight to ten hours, it moves easily from daytime to evening. Wear it every day, to dinner or to a special occasion; it suits autumn, winter and spring, when its warmth feels most at home. A spray or two is enough, as the milk and vanilla grow softer and closer over time.
