Milk Orchid

Oooooooouh. That was my first impression upon smelling this after stumbling into my local Sephora to go signature scent hunting and perfume smelling. I don’t have a lot of experience with this brand, but the very pretty bottle was what caught my eye originally. I love orchids, so I decided to give it a try. It immediately hooked me and it was love at first sniff. I went “omg that’s so good” and disposed of the test strip, moving on. Not even thirty seconds later, I was spraying it onto another test strip. Then another. I kept sniffing it like I was possessed or something, it was so beautiful and decadent and comforting, and the dry down was gorgeous and creamy. Some people have said that this smells very soapy, but I didn’t get that at all! Before I left, I sprayed it on myself (neck, wrists) so I could wear it the rest of the day. I think the projection is actually moderately strong. I applied this in the very early afternoon (noon-ish) and hours later in the evening (think 7 pm) when I was in the car with my boyfriend, he said he could smell it from the driver’s seat, but not in a bad/headache inducing way (yay)! The spray nozzle on the bottle actually worked TOO good and dispensed way more product than I thought it would, so maybe one single spritz on the neck area is enough instead of trying to hit every pulse point. Unfortunately, the price tag is a bit much for me right now, but I’m 100% saving up for a full sized bottle. It’s addictive and probably my favorite perfume I’ve ever smelled. Once I get it, it will definitely be my signature scent! On a side note, this has a similar scent profile to Cheirosa ‘59 (which is my favorite from Sol de Janeiro), so I think SdJ’s body care products in the ‘59 scent and the actual perfume spray itself would be fantastic to layer Milk Orchid with!

I always knew never listening to anyone and choosing to believe in things I've experienced first hand would come in handy (After hundred disastrous occasions of course) Milk orchid reminds me of a very specific smell from my childhood that I've been searching for years. Back in the day (So around 10-15 years ago, my phrasing made it like I was there during the French Revolution) my mother used to buy me these wet hand wipes and I don't know what kinda crack they've put in those hand wipes but my God I finished those packages in a couple of days because I couldn't stop smelling them to the point my mother had to stop buying them because I. just. couldn't. stop. And now I don't have to! Adult version appeared for my adult self... with adult money. As unhinged as it's going to sound, the initial opening smells exactly how a flower's breast milk would smell like. So, the lactonic here isn't in the fatty, gourmand way that we're used to. It's on the floral side but in such a soft way that it's soft the way flower petals are. First minutes are when the floral "freshness" is most prominent, which diminishes -or settles so to say- after that point. I would say coconut and milk blends well together that one cannot differ from one another. Soft. Is all I can describe this perfume. But do not mix it with weak or light. It is there indeed, but the sillage is so gentle that never does it irritate the nose, so overlaying doesn't even come into question. As I've aforementioned, the exact definition of this perfume for me is those nostalgic hand wipes I used to use (Also as a side note, do not let this make you think the fragrance smells like a cleaning material, it is far FAR from it) Definitely exceeded my expectations, another perfume my rent will go to.

I've been wearing this for several days. While I do want to wait for it to macerate a bit, here are my thoughts; Congratulations to Emma! I've seen people call this a "influencer perfume" and while it can be true- let's not discredit Emma here. She is a perfumery student and passionate about this. She has knowledge on the subject & I'm happy Commodity gave her this opportunity. If you're looking for a gourmand milk, or for something similar to Commodity's already fabulous milk line, skip this. Their milk line is sweet, ambery, woody toasted deliciousness. Perfect for the fall / winter. This scent is more so of a creamy fresh milk. Yes- it opens up with a beautiful coconut note, but this isn't a coconut perfume as I've seen people say. The coconut is fleeting. After the coconut, I get creamy fig and florals. It's a scent that feels nice and fresh. Green, fresh and very spring like. That's where I was deceived tho! I wanted to say this was a Spring/Summer scent, but hours into "Milk Orchid" I get a milky, sweet vanilla accord. The milk in this reminds me of milk and cookies, possibly because of the macadamia. As for the milk- think of pink nesquick (lol in the best way! I used to love that) It's a very sweet milk, which made me realize this is perfect for end of summer/all of fall and winter. Possibly a good spring scent too. But I wouldn't wear this during the summer when it's obnoxiously hot, because the milky sweetness takes you by surprise. I love it so far! Can't wait to see how this will smell as time goes on ✨️🌸🥛🌰🤍

I have all four milk variants in the tester vials by commodity, i am going to buy one of these but am testing out which version it's going to be. I use perfume by spraying one spray on my wrist and putting my wrists together (not rubbing, just dividing the liquid). Yesterday i used milk orchid, today i use milk -. Milk - feels comforting, not overly sweet and clearly has a milk tone to me. But i can't smell it while typing this on my phone, eventhough i just sprayed it and i am not wearing sleeves. It is thát intimate. I am not anosmic because i can smell it when holding my wrist closer to my face. To compare to milk orchid, which can be smelled across the room with the same way of applying. I actually had to wash it off this morning after applying yesterday morning (also one spray on the wrists). I like the smell of milk - more, but it's too intimate for me to buy because i don't want to have to overspray any perfume. Milk orchid is definitely femine to me, while milk - is unisex leaning feminine. I personally do think it is comparable to milk - in scent. Many reviews say it is completely different, but i clearly feel it is a younger sister out of the same scent family. Orchid is a lot sweeter and more coconut milk than sweet milk but theres definitely still a milk scent in there. Tomorrow i am going to use the normal milk version. I hope the regular milk will be more like milk - in scent but has more sillage (but less sillage than orchid has).

I've been testing/wearing my travel for the last two weeks. Immediately I recognized the Milk DNA, without the marshmallow and woods, instead dark fruit and nut milk. The first few sprays over a couple days were very green to me. Almost like Philosykos EDP. Also, very strong! But this is heavy on the plant milk. The initial spray is always a tad spicy to me from the magnolia, but it dies down very quickly. Which Im happy about as I am very sensitive to florals. Over the last week the milk notes have smelled very well blended. Making it feel and smell creamy like a soft whipped lotion. This perfume also smells like an actual scent releasing orchid. The scent is always a soft, cozy creamy, almost muted floral, lightly sweet like honey, and a touch of green. Im super curious about how this is about to smell and perform in FL heat this summer. I read some reviews of people comparing this to EB Miami Nectar, saying it has a beach-y, sunscreen-y, pineapple coconut scent. I picked that up slightly during the first two days of testing. Maybe I had it in mind..But now that I have sprayed out my bottle over the last 10+ days, I get soft and creamy plant milk perfume. Exactly what I wanted out of this since I can't enjoy the original Milk line because it triggers my migraines. I'm excited to layer this with Phlur Heavy Cream during the winter season.

In my opinion, Christelle and Emma did a fantastic job at making this fragrance unique but also versatile and an easy reach. I have smelled it through both cold and warm weather and it does not smell off in either. I think some people are disappointed because they were expecting a more gourmand fragrance but I love the fact that it isn't. It's really easy to bare in both indoor and outdoor settings because it has that clean fresh-out-the-shower vibe. I would even wear it to the gym. The milk here is more like a milky lotion, which I love. I don't recommend it, however, to people who expect a sweet, realistic dairy milk scent. I also didn't detect much similarity between the original Milk, which I'm not a fan of. Expect something fresh, slightly coconutty, musky, extremely smooth and creamy, not necessarily sweet. Edit: This perfume layers SO WELL with other milky perfumes it's insane 😮 Edit 2: Try it with Body Badalada 39 and Cheirosa 39, thank me later 😍

Wow, I don't think I've ever liked a fragrance this much. I bought the travel size and used it up in less than a week. As a fragrance collector, I've never finished a travel size, as I always switch between different fragrances, so that says it all. This is a beautiful, creamy floral. I definitely think you can smell each note, and they blend perfectly, but the orchid and coconut stand out the most to me. This is such a beautifully made fragrance. One thing I will say is that it sits pretty close to the skin on me. It's not strong at all, so I'm not sure why that's such a popular opinion. The longevity is pretty nice; it lasts my entire 8 hour shift. I believe this is versatile enough to wear day or night, all seasons. Don't let the coconut fool you; this is not a tropical scent (to my nose). This is a creamy, luxurious, feminine, floral with a beautiful nutty twist. I will definitely be purchasing a full size bottle!

I luckily managed to get my hands on a 2ml sample of this and omg...i love it. It feels like a creamy and lactonic take on florals- slightly suffocating, but in a good way, as if someone soaked some orchids and peonies in some full fat milk and i put my face into it. Reminds me a lot of a really spenny and luxurious hair shampoo/conditioner. I will say it is a very polarising scent, I get why not many people like this or dont think it smells any different from the Commodity’s Milk DNA (this isnt something i disagree with tbh, but this feels like Milk’s elder sister who lives alone in a fancy modern flat with fresh flowers in a vase every week). After spraying i could still catch whiffs of it in the air for a while, and I didnt need to respray until a solid 6 hours since I first sprayed it it lingered another 7. Overall, very worth it but try and get it second hand if you want to avoid that price tag.

I really love this, despite the fact that it smells terrible on my skin, where it smells overly nutty and woody and loses its sweet creaminess. But somehow it's sooo good on my clothes and hair that I don't even mind. When I avoid my skin I get a beautiful creamy coconutty orchid. I really hope I can find a dupe though because it's way too expensive AND sold out right now. I got a travel size before it sold out and I hate the fact that I now have to use it sparingly, especially since I doubt the full size will be back in stock before the Sephora sale is over. Without the sale I can't afford it. I wish the scent bubble lasted longer. I can only get whiffs of it for like 2-3 hours after applying. I can still smell it most of the day if I go out of my way to smell my clothes/hair, but I wish the projection was longer lasting.

This is such a GORGEOUS fragrance. It didn’t hit me right away, but I sprayed some on my wrist in Sephora and gave it a few hours. What started off as a creamy, floral but figgy coconut scent (which smells exactly like a Hollister body spray I had when I was younger) developed into the MOST delicious lactonic, woody, musky and creamy dry down. I had Milk expressive on my other wrist, and the dry down of this runs rings around the original. It’s so creamy, sweet and delicious and doesn’t feature the slightly intense woodiness that Milk does (any many don’t like). Yes, it’s more floral than some may imagine, but the combination of the floral notes with the fig and coconut is truly divine, and smells just like a luxurious body lotion or milk bath. This is cosy, comforting, delicious and perfect for anytime wear.

wowowow. just picked this up at sephora after they made it a permanent addition. this stuff is amazing. upon spraying there is a very strong almost ginger-like note that comes from the magnolia and to be very honest it is pretty overwhelming but WAAAAAIT. give it time to develop, i promise you will not regret it. the dry down is silky smooth and creamy while that floral note just gently hovers there and projects off your skin. this paired with guerlain vp is a dangerous ass combo. any spicy warm vanilla will transform this from a spring scent to a full autumn/winter scent. very versatile and office friendly. 8.5/10 not as milky as i would hope for being that it's called "milk orchid" but it's still a great scent.

im obsessed, im addicted, im floored at how good this is to my nose. i smell it anytime i feel stressed or sad and it brings me so much happiness. needless to say, emma ate :3 it is decently long-lasting and especially so on clothes and i adore how i am able to constantly catch whiffs of it throughout the day. im a barista and work 6-hour shifts at a time. the smell of coffee usually takes over but i could still smell whiffs of it after the fact and it makes me so happy. it creates this scent bubble that is so comforting and i feel like im being hugged all the time. i also get a lot of compliments which doesn't matter but it's still very nice nonetheless. it's happiness in a bottle to me <3

i am here to fight for justice for Milk Orchid!!! i understand that this perfume has been extremely overhyped online, but i promise you she is LOVELY!!! she has a very sweet coconut cream forward opening (not a beachy/sunscreen coconut, but a creme de coconut), but settles down to a beautiful sugared vanilla pink orchid scent. this scent is for someone who wants a pink, fluffy, pretty girly everyday scent, she wears bows in her hair, stays hydrated, moisturized and in her lane. it almost reminds me of a grown up version of the PINK body sprays we all loved growing up. so so sweet, comforting, and overall a lovely perfume!!! <333

I originally smelt this in Sephora. I was trying to find a good gourmand perfume to replace my Glossier You Rêve which does not last. I hated it on the paper tester. I sprayed it on my own skin and initial scent was very strong and polarizing. I smelt it after getting home and I was throughly surprised. I could not stop thinking about the scent for weeks. It was sold out for a while in the travel size. Eventually, I was able to get my hands on it and use it everyday now. It lasts the whole day and the scent lingers on my sheets for days. I am definitely purchasing it in the full size when I run out. My new favorite perfume!!!

Not love at first sniff but really grew on me as I wore it. It’s a very creamy and soft scent, I smell mostly coconut cream and some florals. It doesn’t feel like a sunscreen or beachy scent. I hear people think it’s masculine but I find it quite unisex, I can smell the sandalwood maybe that’s why people associate it with being “masculine”. It’s very long lasting, lasted the whole day on me, but it’s also not too loud and in your face. I love how it’s milky and lactonic without turning sour, I feel like this perfume is the concept of milk rather than straight up dairy milk. Very suitable for all seasons except hot weather

LOVE HER!!! i swear some of yall just love to hate on an internet-ty brand with an influencer collab just for the sake of sounding ~different~ i love this, it's the perfect creamy floral for a pink-floral hater and gourmand lover. yes, the instagram ads got me, yes i am just like the other girls and i wouldn't have it any other way!! the wear on this is so pleasant, summery, and inviting. it's exactly as described and the longevity is great. my one and only gripe is the price point, after all this IS just a hyped internet brand, not a niche frag house or a designer staple. because of this, i'll be getting a travel size

Just got mine yesterday, tested all throughout the day and applying when needed. Can easily say it's a really nice scent, while milk is subtle at first, I personally love how the floral notes compliment the milk notes making neither feel like it's overpowering the other. You easily could wear this during any season, I found that today in the cold, it seemed to linger a bit more in the air. So maybe more of a Fall/Winter scent, but fresh for the Spring. I can see it working in the Summer, although I feel like the sweat + scent might throw some people off. Still love this perfume though, 10/10!

I wasn't expecting this kind of scent profile at all from the notes, but I am pleasantly surprised! I loooove this DNA! The opening is very similar to Fursan White, which I absolutely love, and it's like a milky, creamy version of Miami Nectar, an absolute favourite of mine for summer. However after a while the scent becomes veeeery faint, linear, and quite honestly a bit bland. Still nice, soft and sweet, but it loses the appeal of the opening in my opinion. Not sure if I will purchase a full bottle after my travel spray since Fursan White is much less expensive.

My experience with this fragrance has been quite the whirlwind. I purchased a sample from a decant shop a few months ago and upon first spray I hated it! The notes felt messy and it was way too strong. I immediately sold the sample. Fast forward to the recent re-launch at Sephora and I randomly decided to test again while in store. Completely different experience! I could clearly smell the delicate florals mixed with creamy coconut and macadamia milk. I felt myself falling in love! I repurchased a travel spray and may have to go back for the full bottle soon!

For me, this one lived up to the hype. It is a wall of a smooth, lactonic coconut milk that has a cashmere-esque vibe without as much of the static I tend to get. The floral is there but not in a sharp, blooming way, it’s subdued and complementary of the other notes. My skin agrees with this and it blossoms really well, but I think in warmer weather can get cloying. The dry down is my favorite as it’s a milky powdery skin scent that lasts the rest of the day. Translates well in hair, clothing will carry the cloying vibes for longer.
