These 5 Creamy Milk Perfumes Are The New Era Of Gourmand Perfumes
The perfume industry has grown exponentially over the years. Want to smell like your favorite chocolate chip cookie? There’s a perfume for that. Or maybe you want to smell like your morning latte? There’s a perfume for that too. With so many fragrances to choose from, fragrance lovers are venturing out of the typical designer perfume space to explore ones with more unique notes, one of which is milk. We know what you’re thinking. You’ve probably never thought you wanted to smell like your breakfast staple but hear us out. The milk fragrance note is sweet, creamy, and powdery adding an edible flair to these fragrances. To achieve this lactonic aroma, perfumers pull from a group of materials called lactones including coumarin (a creamy vanilla-like note), peach lactone, and coconut lactone. Intrigued by this fresh take on gourmand perfume? Read on for our top five favorite milk perfumes that will have you smelling like a light, creamy dessert.
DEDCOOL Xtra Milk Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Amber, Bergamot, and White Musk
Consider this Dedcool’s original Milk scent only leveled up for immaculate lasting power. With notes of bergamot, white musk, and amber, this fragrance smells like a warm, comforting hug from your parents or best friend. It offers this skin-like quality that’s slightly powdery, but also sweet and warm. Unlike the OG Milk, you can certainly wear this one alone, but we recommend layering it with other fresh scents to amplify the soft, creamy smell.
Commodity Milk Personal Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Tonka Bean, Skin Musk, Mahogany Wood, Amber, and White Cedar
You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how much you love this milk perfume once it settles onto your skin. Commodity is known for creating scents that smell reminiscent of everyday items, and this one is no expectation. The Personal version of this scent is like a kiss of milky creaminess when it settles into the skin. The skin musk, amber, and tonka bean add that gently sweet touch to the fragrance while mahogany wood and white cedar bring out the freshness. If you just want to test the waters with a milk perfume we highly suggest this crowd-pleaser.
Molton Brown Milk Musk Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Vanilla, Milk, Pear, Tonka Bean, and Cedarwood
Molton Brown’s Milk Musk smells exactly as it sounds. Featuring warm, milky, and musky notes, this milk scent reminds you of a fluffy vanilla cloud that effortlessly melds in with your skin. What makes this slightly different from others on this list is the addition of pear and peach notes that give this classic milky musk scent a fruity spin.
Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Milk Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Frangipani, Milk Accord, Peony Rose, Vanilla, Musk, and Sandalwood
This scent from Ellis Brooklyn reminds us of Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar Body Spray in the best way possible. This grown-up take on the body spray of the early aughts offers a warm milky, and woody persona. It starts with a creamy milk accord, frangipani, and peony rose. The middle notes feature both Bourbon vanilla bean and Madagascan vanilla bean. It’s finished with amyris, sandalwood, and musk for an earthly, skin-like undertone.
Philosophy Fresh Cream Eau de Toilette
Key Notes: Heliotrope, Tonka Bean, Whipped Cream, and Sugar
Top off your look with a spritz of this whipped cream-like scent. Just like topping off your ice cream sundae with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, this perfume from Philosophy adds the finishing touch to any look. This delectable scent features key notes of vanilla and whipped cream that blend perfectly into the skin. There’s also a hit of Heliotrope and Macadamia Nut for a hit of heat that pairs perfectly with its sweet, milky essence.
