Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Milk EDP
Divisive yet popular, Commodity Milk isn't the lactonic dream some expect. It's a sweet, woody hug for some; a screechy, synthetic mess for others. Try before you buy, because this one definitely isn't a safe blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Milky Woods EDP
A budget take on Commodity's Milk-, built on the same creamy marshmallow-and-milk opening that settles into woody amber musk. It captures the cosy gourmand-woody signature but renders the toasted-marshmallow depth flatter and a touch more synthetic than the original.
