A pleasant skin scent that is true to its name. The musk didn't sit well on me personally, but I can see this being a great layering scent for most people.

I received this as a sample and the opening is an aromatic treat of peppery clean musk. This is not a cheap cologne type of pepper, but the fresh, organic black pepper. As with so many modern perfumes, the scent peaks within the first five minutes before drying down to the faintest hint of peppery musk, certainly not worth the hefty price tag for me, but ideal for the barely there perfume/cologne crowd.

This is my absolute favorite fragrance I’ve ever bought and am kicking myself that I got the 50ml instead of the 100ml right off the bat. This is a very creamy wood, with just a little sweetness. The sandalwood here isn’t the sour type that’s so prevalent in many sandalwood scents nowadays (Santal 33 I’m looking at you). I’m not sure “milky” is also the right way to describe this but it’s definitely a softer, creamy wood. I also don’t think it’s musky in the way that many musk scents border on sharp laundry soap. So good. Will definitely get the larger size as soon as I’m done with my existing bottle (which is something I never thought I’d say about a perfume).

All I can say is Wow!! Very nice and pleasant Unisex scent.

This is one of the very few Lucky Scent purchases I've made that I actually dislike. The name and description sold me. The actual fragrance did not match what read (silly me for not trying a sample first). IMO, a more apt name would be Coconut Musk. The undertones are musk--but they are overpowered by a pronounced coconut top note, which makes it smell a lot like suntan oil. I keep trying it on periodically in the hope that one day, it will land differently. Still waiting... After reading the other reviews, I realize that what smells like coconut to me is actually fig. Still not a fan.

Milky Musk opens with a big blast of fir tree, followed immediately by a cloud of sweet, creamy, musky fig. Imagine a Christmas tree dusted with snow, except the snow is actually buttercream frosting. This odd couple should never work, yet somehow they do. The fig and musk are at their sweetest, while the sandalwood is at it's most resinous. Whenever it threatens to collapse on itself into a sugary mush, the bracing sandalwood cuts through it and keeps things light and fresh.

Beautiful, warm, and so agreeable with the smell of the actual body. If my imagination had it her way, this is what a pheromone would smell like. This is not to say that this scent is faint; it is more so because of how that "milkiness" mimics a lactobacilli / probiotic scent that human skin naturally harbors .... (you know, the "good bacteria") Anyways, my point is this: make a good enough impression, and someone may just think you're sexy enough to naturally ooze this scent. Bonus points: It smells like human skin, so if you've had a long day and maybe produced some of your own human scents, this won't sit atop your B.O like a lie

Simple but wonderful. A super creamy blend of sandalwood and musk with with a faint fig-like sweetness. Don't expect this to evolve over time. It dries down to almost a skin scent. Sexy and intimate.

I'm falling hard and fast for Parle Moi's collection. This fragrance is stunning on me. I'm learning that the less notes something has, the more likely it is to get along with my chemistry. On me this is the warmest, smoothest, creamiest sandalwood made juicy and ethereal by the musk and fig. I can't wait to use up one of the bottles in my collection so I can justify getting this.

Not what I was expecting at all from the name, but I still absolutely love this. Sandalwood is my favourite woody scent and this is a great one. It's lightened up just a bit by the fig and the trail is where you get the musk instead of when you get up close and sniff your wrist. This house has really impressed me so far!

To add to my earlier review: I tried this along with Tam Dao EDT, and I love both complex explorations of sandalwood. Milky Musk is safer: sweeter, more strongly supported by white musk, vanilla? and the milky smell. Tam Dao is a stiff but floaty metallic silk ikat in odd colors; Milky Musk is weighty, slippery silk. Tam Dao wakes you up and makes you think, Milky Musk is hypnotic and comforting. Tam Dao is cooling and summery; Milky Musk is warm and embracing, better for cooler weather.

This is very simple -- sandalwood front and center, and it's complex, nuanced, and not overpowering. Starts "Oh, God, I could DRINK this stuff" sandalwood-and-sweet-vanilla-milk and dries down to a woodier Atlas-cedary sandalwood. I can't stop huffing my arm.

This is an extremely linear fragrance. If you like Lactonic musk and sandalwood, this is for you. But for me, the figgy sweetness came off extremely synthetic, and I found myself craving more depth from the fragrance. Not my favorite. I found Debaser by DS & Durga to accomplish the musky fig accord in a more refined manner.

I got this one as a sample. As much as I like musk, musk scents are usually too much for me to wear myself; however, this one is more low key, almost a skin-scent vibe. I haven't decided if I'm going to spring for a full bottle, but so far I like it.

I got this as a sample and now a full bottle is on the way!!!!

Out of all the unisex samples this turned up to be my favorite. Buying the bottle soon!

This is a luxurious spa built of sandalwood in the middle of a fig grove, serving sweet, milky tea. Unisex, complex and yet undemanding, this just melts into a delicious skin scent that I can't stop sniffing. Pretty good longevity, especially on cloth. This is my favorite of the 10 PMDP scents. I wear a respirator for some stages of my artistic work, which I hate, but I rubbed a little of this on the nose of the mask weeks ago and it actually reduces my dread of wearing the damned thing.

Sweet transcendental wood. Milky Musk appears at first to play a simple tune but emerges as a sublime, dreamlike concerto. The genius of Michel Almairac in a most worthy and versatile signature fragrance.

At first this didn't do much for me, but on repeat tries I have come to really like it. It's a very interesting fragrance, moves woody and green/sweet. To me this isn't "musky" or milky, it's intelligent.

Parle-Moi walks a line between gourmand and woody here, and it’s a pretty impressive balancing act. Yet again the perfumer’s decision to do a limited set of notes lets their complexities shine; this is sandalwood at its milkiest (and nuttiest) and musk at its softest, with the fig there to keep things a little green and ornery. This started as a 4 on me and modulated into a 5. Give it some time, let that little green spark fire a few times, and see if you don’t find yourself disturbingly entranced with your own wrist for the day.
