Milestones by TSVGA Parfums, launched in 2021 and crafted by perfumer James Barry, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that defies convention with its complex interplay of woody, floral, and animalic notes. The heart of the scent features oud and white florals, which blend seamlessly into a warm spicy base enriched with cacao and earthy undertones. This composition is neither overtly feminine nor masculine but rather an olfactory experience that transcends traditional gender boundaries.

Application Tips
Apply Milestones sparingly — the rich base notes take time to unfold. A light spritz on pulse points allows the fragrance to evolve gradually throughout the day. It pairs well with layered clothing for optimal warmth and depth.
