Launched in 2017, Milky Musk by Parle Moi de Parfum is a fragrance that captures the essence of softness with depth. Created by Michel Almairac, this composition opens with a bright fig note that offers a fleeting candied introduction before giving way to a luminous heart of musk. The creamy tonka and sandalwood envelop the skin in a whisper of warmth, while woody cedars deepen as hours pass, grounding the scent in an enigmatic animalic undertone.

How It Wears
A Woody Fragrance
Sandalwood
Sandalwood, sourced from the heartwood of trees native to India and Indonesia, carries a rich, creamy aroma that is both smooth and slightly sweet. Its scent is often described as warm and woody, with a powdery undertone that adds depth and complexity to any composition.
Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.
Application Tips
Two sprays on pulse points are enough to capture Milky Musk's essence. The fig top note is fleeting, so it’s best applied in the morning or early afternoon for the full transition from bright to deep musk and wood. It reads better close to skin than across a room.
