Milano Fragranze Derby is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Dominique Moellhausen. Derby opens with Mandarin, Violet Leaf, Lavender, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Milano Fragranze's Derby carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Derby is a complex beast, with significant batch variations causing a love-it-or-hate-it divide among users. When it hits right, it's a unique, classy green dream. When it misses, it's a frustratingly faint echo of its potential. Try before you buy, if you can.

About

Imagine strolling through a sun-drenched field where fresh galbanum and violet leaves mingle with a hint of crisp mandarin. Lavender adds a refined herbal touch, leading into a heart of powdery mimosa and creamy ylang-ylang. The base grounds it all with earthy vetiver, rich sandalwood, dark patchouli, and damp oakmoss, creating a sophisticated green-woody aroma that's both natural and elegant.
