Ex Nihilo
VETIVER MOLOKO
In my epic quest for milky, woody perfumes, I was so sure this would be my holy grail, but it was not to be. It's nice--I like the slightly smoky vetiver and the lovely green cypress, but I did not get enough of a milky/creamy scent like I hoped. The vetiver note is really beautiful, and it smells freshly dried, if that little oxymoron makes any sense to you. The citrus was too tangy for me. I was hoping any citrus would burn off after the first several minutes. It did not. It blows my mind, the price of this. On some level it reminds me of Eau des Baux, but I think the latter is just as good of a perfume, if not better, and the price makes a lot more sense. Eau des Baux is less than half the cost of Vetiver Moloko. However, if tart citrus does not bother you, I would recommend giving this a try, especially if you love vetiver and want that note to be the focus of your fragrance. (Aug 2016)
