Milky fragrances, like the limited-edition Commodity Edition Milk Orchid, embody everything people love about soft, creamy, comforting scents rich in lactonic notes.
Commodity carefully crafts scents with varying levels of projection, some designed to sit intimately on skin with low-projection notes, and others—made for the enjoyment of the wearer and everyone else—are room-filling. As the modern fragrance brand puts it, "Personal stays close. Expressive is balanced. Bold turns heads." As far as where Editions fall, they’re well-balanced with notable projection, making them most like the Expressive Scent Space.
Commodity’s first-ever collaboration is a floral gourmand fragrance developed with Emma of Perfumerism, the scent design student who popularized milky fragrances with a milk perfume series on TikTok. Milk Orchid is described as her dream take on the brand’s iconic Milk scent, reimagined with fig milk, vanilla orchid, and magnolia.
