Milky Way Maison Asrar 2025

Milky Way initially sounds like a lactonic-sweet gourmand dream.
However, what you get here is something completely different.

The opening is so piercing that I had to cough; that almost never happens to me.
What I smell next is hard to put into words.
A synthetic plum, accompanied by an undefinable, slightly creamy, spicy-sweet note.
But what is that supposed to be?
Milk or caramel smell completely different to me.
With a lot of imagination, one might catch a hint of caramel here, but it really requires a great deal of creativity.
Overall, the scent comes across to me as a pure chemical club.

In the drydown, unfortunately, it doesn't get any better.
The fragrance becomes a bit spicier, while the plum in the background radiates a slightly fruity-synthetic aura.
In this chemical cloud, I also think I can detect some iris root.

Towards the end, the fragrance becomes a bit sweeter with vanilla, although I can't clearly smell the vanilla; it only adds a diffuse sweetness to the scent.
Again, one has to use a lot of imagination to perceive ylang-ylang; the fragrance never becomes truly floral.
Overall, it remains a sweet-spicy chemical chaos with a hint of iris root and a plum in the background that, by the end, doesn't really smell like plum anymore.

I see the fragrance more on a woman than on a man, although the classification as unisex still fits (W70%/30%M).

The performance is in the good middle range.
The projection could be stronger, although it might even be better that the scent isn't more intense.
The longevity on my skin is about six hours.

Conclusion: Unfortunately, I don't know the original "Milk | Commodity," but if it really smells like Milky Way, then good night.
One of the worst fragrances I have tested recently, so I clearly do not recommend purchasing it.
