Milk of Flowers, like Sandalwood and Eucris, is amongst the most distinctive and original of scents I know and by the unmistakeable and venerable Geo. F. Trumper. Milk of Flowers is a contrast of sweet flowers (like heather, lavender and rose) and cloves, which in combination produce an extraordinary spicy floral of absolute uniqueness and is the antithesis of the majority of modern day scents and their clones. Way more spicy to begin with, then floral in the end.
The first time I tried it, the clove and spice made a strong impression of glühwein or a Christmas pot puri. As one becomes more acquainted with it, the clove elements dissipate and give way to the floral components. I wear this year-round, though it probably is one I’ll choose to use more often in colder months. A long way into the dry down it becomes more sweet and a little more floral. Quite potent on initial application but soon settling to a scent of moderate projection and longevity.
It is very English: like Tattersall shirts, Paisley ties, Prince of Wales checks and hound’s tooth tweeds. You could imagine this wafting around the washrooms in Westminster Palace, the Long Room at Lords and the more exclusive enclosures at Ascot and Cheltenham. Makes me think of Capt. Arthur Hastings racing through the countryside in his Lagonda; and we know Agatha Christie had Hercule Poirot shopping at Trumpers on several occasions.
In summery then: authoritative, fearless and self-assured. You need to give yourself time with this. Milk of Flowers screams of tradition. It resides on the opposite end of the perfume spectrum occupied by designer fragrance. (By comparison, they seem the preserve of the hoi polloi). Men from the boys dear chaps…men from the boys.

I love this scent. I have been trying a few bay rum fragrances of late. This is not bay rum, but it does have a much lighter clove note. Bay rums tend have a very distinct clove note. I think of this as “bay rum light” or as a “bay rum floral”. I use it when I want a softer clove fragrance.
