Milkvetch

Milkvetch is a flowering plant in the legume family, known for its sweet, creamy scent. The fragrance is derived from the dried flowers and stems of various Astragalus species, which are native to Central Asia and the Mediterranean region. Certain varieties, such as the Mongolian milkvetch, are prized for their particularly rich and complex aroma.

Fragrances featuring milkvetch tend to evoke a sense of comfort, coziness, and nostalgia. The scent is often described as soothing and grounding, making it suitable for everyday wear or relaxing moments. Milkvetch-based perfumes can be enjoyed year-round, but may be particularly appealing during the colder months when their warm, enveloping qualities are most appreciated.

Milkvetch is commonly used as a base note in perfumes, providing a warm, comforting, and slightly powdery scent. It is often paired with other floral, woody, or amber notes to create rich, sophisticated fragrances. Milkvetch is particularly prevalent in Middle Eastern and Oriental-style perfumes.
