The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Milky Way by Neesh Perfumes is an Oriental Spicy fragrance that balances the fresh and warm notes of cardamom and pepper with a creamy lactonic heart. The composition opens with a bright mandarin note, which gives way to a rich blend of milk and coconut, creating a distinctive contrast between crisp freshness and indulgent warmth. At its core, Milky Way features woody accords like guaiac wood and sandalwood, grounded by moss and amber, making it a scent that is both comforting and intriguing.

How to wear it

Apply Milky Way in light layers to allow its distinct notes to develop gradually. The lactonic and woody base notes take time to fully emerge, so reapply sparingly as needed throughout the day for a consistent experience.
