What a fabulous fragrance! This may be the best vetiver fragrance I’ve ever smelled. It is creamy and a little woodsy. It will definitely mislead you into thinking that it’s not interested in hanging around but it will lurk all around you watching your every move. Others know it’s there, but you become oblivious, thinking you are all alone. You are not. It seems like a very light fragrance that sits close to the skin but I can tell you that this stuff projects! It’ll give you an airy scent bubble, surprisingly. This line is by no means weak. I got a compliment from a guy today while wearing it, about an hour or so after I applied my sample. It is absolutely unisex. It reminds me of something though. I have smelled this scent before. I don’t think it was from a fragrance though. I’ll update when I remember because I’ve been trying to figure it out all day, lol. New elementary school books? Ugghh, I don’t know. Anyway, I don’t really care what it reminds me of. It smells damn good and I’m getting a bottle. The end!
UPDATE: Figured it out! This smells like those old school pastille mints you get at restaurants once you are leaving. The kind that just melt in your mouth. They are chalky and creamy and come in Easter colors- light green, pink and white, maybe some yellow. They sell them in the store too in bags, right next to the candy. That’s what this smells like and I love it!

A rare gem. The opening is wonderful. The vetiver is present from the beginning. I’m picking up olibanum as well, although it’s not in the listed notes. This fragrance is well made and wears very comfortably. Excellent longevity and sillage, but not offensive to those around you. It draws people in. This would be an excellent addition to any wardrobe. I’ve tried two Ex Nihilo fragrances now, this one and Amber Sky. Both are ridiculously nice, but extremely expensive. At least you’re getting a beautiful experience while wearing this, which is the whole point of wearing a fragrance. I want this, but I’ll have to pony up some serious dough to get it. Two thumbs up as high as possible!

This one is so delicate that I can barely smell it. NOT.

I thought I didn’t like this at first. I put it on after a shower and could barely smell it. I splashed on a bit more to my wrists aaaannnd still a barely there aftershaveish slightly woody…sort of vetiver smell. I figured it was a dud but have left it on to see if it changed. about 10 minutes later I began catching a pleasant bitter lime peel scent, then woody/cypress wafts from my wrists, then suddenly the vetiver!! Its so beautiful. I love the vetiver note, it conjures the image of a wet forest, decaying leaves and rich soil. Which sounds dirty, but is actually very clean smelling. I’m still unsure as to what “milky” is supposed to smell like….creamy? is it sweet? I would like to sample a perfume that is considered “milky” so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
I’m not getting the vanilla scent mentioned in the basenotes, just a wonderful cypress/vetiver that has moderate sillage.
Update: Milky note identified! I get it now! i was expecting something sweet, but its not. Its comforting and smooth, like fresh cream. It is a curious note to add to vetiver, I wouldn’t have ever really imagined them together but I really like it! This is the second Ex Nihilo fragrance I have tried and they are very complex and develop and change over time. I am very interested in trying more from this line of perfumes.
Update 2: 6 hours in milky note is very prominent as well as cypress still. The vanilla is now coming out with a mellow sweetness that is so soft and yummy. This just keeps getting better.

I like delicacy but this perfume hardly makes any impression. Is it special, shy, secretive? I don’t think so. It has a generic perfume note that is used in aftershaves. I can smell the alluring smokiness of vertiver, but it’s so slight I wouldn’t pay for it. Not a scent to remember.

In my epic quest for milky, woody perfumes, I was so sure this would be my holy grail, but it was not to be. It’s nice–I like the slightly smoky vetiver and the lovely green cypress, but I did not get enough of a milky/creamy scent like I hoped. The vetiver note is really beautiful, and it smells freshly dried, if that little oxymoron makes any sense to you. The citrus was too tangy for me. I was hoping any citrus would burn off after the first several minutes. It did not. It blows my mind, the price of this. On some level it reminds me of Eau des Baux, but I think the latter is just as good of a perfume, if not better, and the price makes a lot more sense. Eau des Baux is less than half the cost of Vetiver Moloko. However, if tart citrus does not bother you, I would recommend giving this a try, especially if you love vetiver and want that note to be the focus of your fragrance.

This is a dusty vetiver, sort of dirty vetiver with sort of milky note hidden within that dirty vetiver. It never starts like that as it starts with something like a dusty cartoon with allot of lime splash then changes slowly to that dirty vetiver and the lime fades, then slowly the lime shows up as a background!
This one also isn’t linear as it tricks and changes between notes and levels, Can’t deny it is quality.

Ex Nihilo has broken the rules in regards to the use of vetiver moving away from the traditional fresh cologne feel. Guillaume Flavigny has enveloped Haitian vetiver in a milky cloud hence the name Vetiver Moloko which is a nod to the cocktail featured in ‘A clockwork orange’. Vetiver Moloko is racey and highly addictive but still keeps to the true sophistication that vetiver envokes.
