Dent de Lait EDP

Dent de Lait is a beautiful perfume. It is clean and musky, slightly sour in the opening, but lays in tender powdery base, like a touch of baby’s skin. The metallic notes listed are nothing else than sparkling aldehydes, not heavy or soapy, but fresh and frizzy.

“I am talking about something far removed from the tooth fairy and the coins she slips under your pillow. Here, the loss of your first tooth is like an initiation which marks the end of childhood and the beginning of the age of reason. It is when blood fuses with milk...” — Serge Lutens
