Our verdict on Dent de Lait: Statement

This one's a proper oddball, no two ways about it. Dent de Lait is the definition of love-it-or-hate-it, a polarizing art piece that pushes boundaries well beyond 'just a perfume'. Don't blind buy unless you savour the strange.

About

Inspired by the eerie nostalgia of a lost milk tooth, Dent de Lait unfurls with a stark metallic tang, chilling and precise. Powdery heliotrope and a whisper of almond provide a softer, almost clinical comfort, whilst a unique lactonic milk note adds an unsettling creaminess. Incense provides a subtle, ethereal depth to this abstract, clean scent.
