Killian's Milk & Cookies / Andy Kaufman - Milk & Cookies

Xyrena · 2015

Sweet · Synthetic · Gourmand

Xyrena Killian's Milk & Cookies / Andy Kaufman - Milk & Cookies is a sweet, creamy gourmand unisex scent that reads like milk served with chocolate biscuits. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the vote count is small, so treat those ratings loosely. Most voters pick it for leisure and evening wear; it is seen as feminine more than anything else, with some votes for modern and classic. It opens with butter and sugar. In the heart, chocolate biscuit and milk soften it into something creamy. Vanilla and white musk wrap the base in sweetness, and the accords also include synthetic and spicy touches. Grandeur Cookies & Cream and Lattafa Cookie Crave have a close profile.

Xyrena · 2015

Aquatic · Sweet · Synthetic

Xyrena Dark Ride is an unusual unisex scent built from ozonic notes, chlorinated water, a mist note, fire and mildew. The notes read as one whole: ozonic and chlorinated water give an aquatic coolness, the mist note turns it hazy, while fire and mildew add a smoky, damp and slightly harsh shadow. Sweet, spicy, woody and leathery accords sit alongside, and the synthetic character stays clearly present. Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though only a few people have voted, so that picture is tentative. It suits those who want to step away from familiar clean and fresh fragrances, and it doesn't lean masculine or feminine. Rammstein Kokain and Ataraxia Spinal Fluid have a close profile.
