What do reviewers say about Palo Santo and Milk?
The milk-rum combo either sounds like a dare or a comfort. Here's the thing: it works. It's sweet, yes, but the guaiac wood keeps it from being cloying. Warm without getting heavy.Palo Santo
Milk is not trying to be interesting. It succeeds at being soothing. The sesame opening is quietly nutty, the marshmallow heart is soft without being childish, and the tonka-benzoin drydown keeps.Milk
