Description

The story behind this fragrance

Milk opens with a whisper of saffron—warm, almost medicinal—before Delight in Despair settles into a creamy, powdery iris that feels like touching soft fabric. Cedarwood and patchouli deepen the base, earthy and grounding, while oud emerges underneath with a dark, resinous hum. The contrast between that initial milky sweetness and the woody, oud-laden close creates an elegiac tension—comfort and shadow moving together.
