What do reviewers say about Milky Way and Milky No Way?
Milky Way does not try to be anything other than what it is. It is sweet, creamy, and deeply comforting, which means it will not appeal to those who prefer sharp or astringent fragrances.Milky Way
Milky No Way smells like someone put hazelnut syrup in your latte and added a pinch of black pepper for fun. The cashmere wood in the drydown keeps it from being too sweet.Milky No Way
