The smoothness is really prominent in this attar, the lactonic notes infuse with the dark woods, creating a wide feel, like a panoramic landscape of scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend feels simple, but exudes a stunning aroma. It's perhaps a niche, unusual scent, as it took me years to like Massoia bark, but I feel I've tempered it well, making it approachable and not cloying like the raw scent of Massoia. This was done by adding materials that share qualities with Massoia, but steering it towards a delicately sweet and smoky, wood \u0026amp; cream profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI resisted the urge to make this gourmand, it teeters on the edge, with touches of Tonka bean, but I think this is more an Oud dominant attar with it's prominent woody, smoky profile and heavy doses of dark Thai Agarwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmelling on the skin, Dark Milk Musk begins with a creamy, smooth, woody aroma, like a sweetened milky bark. The beginning notes are like a sweet, beeswax, almost caramelic, but not overly sweet. Then slowly the dark, incense notes of Thai Agarwood come creeping through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI really like the progression of notes in this attar. It is very welcoming and approachable, but has a serious scent lurking just beneath the surface, that slowly edges forward as time passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt reminds me of millionaire shortbread somewhat, this attar feels like it has a sweetened layer of caramel infused biscuit, with a layer of spiced, dark woods instead of chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter around 15 minutes the Massoia bark becomes more prominent, with it's very milky profile, it also feels more caramelic in the presence of the Venezuelan Tonka bean, and the Cinnamon Bark absolute adds an interesting detail to the woods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShortly after the Massoia emerges, the dark notes of Thai Bodhi Bodhi oud start to peek through, with a smoky, refined woody presence. I enhanced this with a similar Thai Malacensis oud which has similar smoky, dark notes, and to give the base some earthy qualities I added a touch of Maroke oud too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter half an hour, the scent is half dark Thai agarwood vibes and half milky, creamy musk and woods, this stays around this balance until late in the dry down. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mellifluence Perfume","offers":[{"title":"1ml","offer_id":45575965245626,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3ml","offer_id":45575965278394,"sku":null,"price":260.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/1876\/6778\/files\/Compress_20260211_011939_9470.jpg?v=1770772803","url":"https:\/\/allthatsscents.com\/products\/dark-milk-musk","provider":"allthatsscents","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
