Launched in 2014 by Ex Nihilo, Vetiver Moloko is a composition that defies easy categorization. The fragrance opens with the bright zest of bergamot and cypress, lending an aromatic freshness that contrasts beautifully against the earthy richness of vetiver and amyris. At its heart lies Bulgarian rose, which adds a delicate floral touch before giving way to the creamy warmth of milk and Madagascar vanilla in the base. This blend creates a distinctive olfactory experience that is both grounding and uplifting.

Application Tips
Apply Vetiver Moloko in light layers to let each note unfold naturally. The aromatic top notes are fleeting, so ensure that the heart and base notes have ample time to develop. This fragrance reads best close to skin, making it perfect for an intimate setting or a quiet afternoon.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet moment when you step into an old library, where the scent of vetiver and vanilla intermingles with the faint trace of milk from a long-forgotten pastry.
