One Fruity, One Milky: Commodity's Twin Fragrances Are Each Addictive in Their Own Way

The same brand delivering two completely opposite olfactory personalities at once—that's the observation an Allure beauty editor arrived at after trying independent fragrance brand Commodity's two newest releases. She describes herself as spraying back and forth between Juice Expressive and Milk Expressive lately, one bright and sweet, the other soft and warm, as if each day's mood came with its own script.

True to its name, Juice Expressive opens with a juicy burst of raspberry and strawberry, moves into rose in the middle, and settles into warm amber woods at the finish. According to the editor's experience, spritzing this one is like hitting an instant mood-boost button for the day—perfect for when you want a little extra outward energy.

Milk Expressive takes the completely opposite route. It opens with toasted sesame, layers in the sweet comfort of marshmallow and cold milk in the middle, and lands on tonka bean and mahogany at the base—the whole effect described as a winter morning wrapped in a warm blanket. It's a full-on gourmand fragrance.

The editor notes that no matter which bottle she reaches for on a given day, she's almost always asked "what perfume are you wearing today?" before she even gets home—and that's exactly why she chose to include both in the August Allure Beauty Box. Both Eau de Parfums are designed for long-lasting wear, priced at $125 each, and currently available on the Commodity Fragrances website.
