Milton-Lloyd №2 Sofia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. №2 Sofia opens with Fresh Notes, Fruity Notes, Bergamot, and Orange, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Vanilla.

This one's a divisive bargain, love it or hate it. Many reckon it's a dead ringer for a high-end designer fragrance, but others find it a bit rough around the edges. Still, for the price, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

№2 Sofia bursts forth with a zesty, juicy freshness from bergamot and orange, complemented by a medley of other fruits. This vibrant opening mellows into a heart of rich rose, deepened by earthy vetiver. As it settles, a warm, sensual base of vanilla, patchouli, amber, and musk emerges, leaving a lasting, comforting trail. It's a modern chypre with a sweet, resinous dry down.
