Scent of the Day

I never felt the need to leave a negative review but I suppose there is a first time for everything. Anyway the only way I can describe this fragrance is a chemical mess! The opening is extremely harsh with a burst of alcohol and a kind of burnt plastic/rubber note. There is some improvement in the dry down and little sweetness after around 15 minutes but the chemical smell never really leaves. Maybe it was just my skin chemistry, but this was a big no for me. You can’t win them all
I really love Oud Makaki and this is now my cooler weather signature scent. As many have already said it is not an Oud heavy fragrance. I think the Oud plays a supporting role, just to give it some depth. I would describe it as a fresh and spicy sweet tobacco with an Amber base. There are similarities to Halfeti but I think Oud Malaki stands on its own and is something you won’t smell on many other people. The quality to price ratio is amazing and if this was in any niche house’s bottle it would be prices at least 3x as much. Very happy to have discovered this fragrance in my 10 years + of exploring and happy to call this a signature.
After collecting and exploring for well over 10 years, I have made Erolfa my warm weather signature scent. I have lost count of how many fragrances I have smelled and owned in all this time and Erolfa stands out to me. Nothing else really smells like it! Although it has some similarities to Millisime Imperial, it is not the same. Erolfa has something unique that evokes the feeling of both wealth and a Mediterranean coast line. A really classy and enjoyable fragrance that I hope to always be able to own.
Beautiful fragrance, so well blended and expensive smelling.
I smelled this a few weeks ago in Selfridges and really liked it but moved on. It has been playing on my mind because it gave me the feeling of happy childhood memories, not sure why? I gave in this week and bought a full bottle. It arrived today and I am so glad to own it. Nothing like BR540, has much more of a fruity top and none of the Candy. The musk is powdered and there is a light scent of lipstick but the fruity kind, not the waxy iris type. It does lean to the feminine but as a man I am very happy to wear it. To sum up the scent profile, raspberry lip gloss with powdery musk and a hint of salty skin.
This is incredible! It’s like nothing else and yet has a familiarity. Longevity is very good and it fills rooms. You won’t notice it all of the time but when someone enters the room, they can smell it. This will always be in my collection and is very possibly going to become my signature.
A lot of hate for this fragrance! I think it’s I wonderful. Opens with a sweet mandarin and dries down to a airy floral that floats around you. The mastery is in the subtle variations in this fragrance. Not a loud scent and does not compete with Sauvage! But that is designed for a different type of fragrance enthusiast 😉
Smelled this on card in Harrods and loved it. The price at the time was an issue. After selling off some of my collection, the price was more acceptable and it has now joined my ‘smaller’ collection. On skin this fragrance shines and is so complex WOW! I have no more words 😁
This is a great Mandarin forward citrus floral fragrance. It is totally unisex but does lean more feminine. A confident man could wear this, no problem. Although not the same, it does have a similar vibe to Creed Erolfa. This is almost Erolfa light! Fantastic value for money if you like this type of scent profile.
I have been using this to fill the gap until I could buy an genuine bottle of Tom Ford Oud Wood. I now have my genuine bottle of TF and I can honestly say that Milton Lloyd is stronger and better projecting. The scent is very close to the original but a little on the harsh side. Worth the very small price though, and a great alternative to the rather expensive original.
