Cereal Milk Soft Serve

how is this a polarizing perfume! usually when scents are controversial, i can see both sides, but this spray to me is nearly as perfect as it can get. as a gourmand girl, this is an absolute dream come true. it smells exactly like the name suggests: a creamy, milky vanilla soft serve topped with nostalgic corn flakes that has just the right amount of malty & doughy notes. i feel like i'm in a frozen yogurt shop whenever i wear it. it's genuinely perfect & doesn't have those sometimes weird lemon-y notes that cereal milk fragrances tend to have. childhood, watching old cartoon reruns on a crt tv while eating breakfast with your sister on a sunny morning. the only qualm is the longevity. it does not last very long if you don't layer it (luckily they have a lotion & body soap! & a hand soap that for some reason has very long longevity lol) scent development ❤ opening/top notes & initial impression: i mean... it's a pretty one-dimensional scent, in a good way. the way it smells when you spray it is kind of how it stays. ❤ middle notes: leans a teeeeeny bit more towards the malt/cereal, but overall pretty much stays the same. ❤ dry down/base notes: beautiful. characteristics ❤ season(s): all. cozy for the winter/fall, great for a nostalgic transition into the spring, & for smelling like a traditional ice cream shop in the summer. ❤ occasion: it can be a bit youthful, not something i'd wear on a date. but for daily day time/post-shower wear, i love it. great for fun activities. ❤ time of day: day ❤ versatility: see 'occasion' above ❤ uniqueness: SO unique! has a lot of personality to it, especially compared to other vanilla soft serve/ice cream & cereal milk scents ❤ compliment factor (personally): i've gotten a few! it's pretty close to skin & again doesn't last too long sadly which plays a factor practicality ❤ bottle/packaging design: adorable & childish but not in a bad way! playful! ❤ ages i think this is best suited for: 10-30 ❤ mood/vibe: playful, nostalgic, youthful, sweet, creamy, comforting, cozy, cuddly, familiar, carefree, sugary, malt, grain, cereal, soft ❤ repurchase/purchase if sample?: yes. i have like 10 bottles & wish i got more overall recommend?: yes. 1000%.

I honestly did not have high hopes for this, but I can say that I have been unequivocally blown away! I am not a gourmand fragrance lover. In general, I don't like to smell like food, especially sweet food. However, I am always intrigued by laconic scents. This one really delivers. My first impression is that of eating a Cold Stone waffle cone full of melting vanilla ice cream with Frosted Flakes mixed in. I cannot fathom why cereal is not one of the notes since it is so prominent. I don't understand the reviews that say it smells like sour milk, but of course, everyone appreciates scents differently, and there is certainly a strong memory/association factor that might be playing into some people's perceptions. (Happens to me all the time.) I also tried B&BW's Milk body spray and was underwhelmed (smelled more like a soft musk to me), but it seems from the reviews that people who don't like Cereal Milk Soft Serve do like the Milk fragrance, so maybe give that a try if this one is a no-go for you. I wish it projected more and lasted longer, but I still love it way more than I thought I would.

this smells SO good, one of my favs from b&bw, their whole milkbar line is p good imo, its such a shame the reviews on this scent is 50/50 bc as a gourmand lover this is one of the best scents in my collection. This smells like a yummy milky bar of white chocolate and cereal on my skin and smells heavenly when paired with eos vanilla cashmere omgg... this is very long lasting too for a body mist. This has been a constant compliment getter ranging from little kids asking who smells like candy when they walk behind me to persons who are in a room w me saying to eachother "in here smells so good" One thing that kinda freaked me out about this though is the texture of the spray, guessing its like that bc it can be sprayed in hair aswell but its quite odd, it has this almost sticky feeling to the skin that leaves a shine when it dries down so i have to rub it in. Also quick psa this STAINS!! so plz look out for that bc at first i did not know this stained until i sprayed it on my white uniform top while at school /3 its better to mist it on from afar or on darker clothing.

I was excited to try another collab with celebrity chef, Christina Tosi. The notes from the brand's write-up are: soft serve ice-cream, Frosted Flakes, cereal milk, salt, frosted sugar, Corn Flakes - and these more accurately reflect the scent than what's listed here (sugar, ice-cream) imo. As milk left in the bottom of a cereal bowl was Christina's inspiration for opening Milk Bar, it's nice to see that reflected here. Very creamy-lactonic and sweet, fans of lactonic gourmands would likely enjoy this. Some reminders of the first collab with Christina: Milk Bar Birthday Cake, although this is even more creamy but less cake-y. Great on its own, or easy to layer. Would layer well with gourmands (including the other released collabs with Christina), white-florals and other lactonic scents, but I'll probably layer it with tuberose scents, magnolia scents and coconut scents. The spray and the cream are both enjoyable, and even better layered together. Love it!. Enjoy!

Incredibly amazing, comforting and addictive. Probably one of the most unique fragrances i got so far, it could be that it's difference makes it so polarizing, It opens with a sweet, creamy cereal milk accord that instantly reads nostalgic and cozy, like the leftover milk at the bottom of a sugary breakfast bowl mixed with vanilla ice cream. The sweetness is so smooth and well-balanced, never harsh or powdery. Don’t be scared off by the cereal notes; if anything, it leans closer to a soft, creamy macadamia-like sweetness than literal cereal. Despite being a milk-based gourmand, longevity is solid, and it stays deliciously close to the skin. Overall, this is a beautifully executed gourmand: warm, playful, and deeply satisfying. If you love sweet, creamy, nostalgic scents, this is an easy love—absolute perfection for a gourmand lover.

I am in love. I love the kinds of gourmands that reminds you of an ice cream parlor or a dessert bar. This is it. The vanilla is milky and creamy, perfectly ice cream. The savory nutty notes read cornflakes or waffle cone. I overspray this body spray and it doesn’t get overwhelming but it does last surprisingly well for a mist. I catch whiffs of myself for around 6 hours (better than some perfumes). If you don’t like juvenile-leaning gourmands, this is not for you. For those reminiscing about happy summer childhoods who want a cozy gourmands for fall and winter (honestly this isn’t cloying for spring or summer), this IS it. Get it on sale if you can. I got mine for 5.95 during their body mist sale. The body cream smells divine too - thinking of purchasing it so I can layer myself into ice cream parlor heaven.

Reading the notes I was like meh, ice cream and cereal, really good, but is it that special? Y e s. Yes absolutely. I'm such a sucker for nostalgic scents and this is right up there. It's like you're an adult and you're in the backroom's playrooms. This is a great vibe, and I'm very curious as to how it would smell with rainbow cereal.... The scent itself aside from the vibes? That's a very photo realistic lactonic cereal scent. I know it has ice cream, but it smells milkier than ice creamy, not that I'm complaining, it's perfectly sugary. I adore it, if you're on the fence, please give it a chance, because unless it turns sour on your skin it should be a safe buy. I think this is more summer time than fall/winter tho...

smells so good IM SORRY!!!!!! surprisingly enough i much prefer this over the aromatherapy milk spray -- which is a much more PURE milk scent, but i always found it a bit too alcoholic and weak for my tastes (⁠ ́⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠);;; people arent necessarily wrong about the milk note being sour, but the sourness...isnt... unpleasant..???!! very photorealistic and blunt on the milk/cereal promise -- WHICH IT DELIVERS!!!!! which is why i suspect people to have very strong contentious feelings on this🥸🥸 anyways if if you're a true #CREAMhead like i am then you'd definitely enjoy this 🥛🥛🥛 #SCENTOFMILKOUT micdrop 🎤💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

these reviews had me almost not trying this one out but I’m glad I did anyway. This is so delicious & creamy. I don’t smell anything soggy or nasty at all. I pick up a decadent vanilla scent with a doughy quality. I smelled this on myself when I woke up the next morning ( I’m assuming it was my clothes that it lasted on ) and got whiffs of it all day long. Needless to say, I purchased 5 bottles. The cinnamon sugar scent was too similar like crumb couture or very vanilla from VS for me to make that my favorite, and the birthday cake one was too light. always give a scent a chance for yourself before making a decision!

Konu gurmandlar olunca BBW'ten daha iyi çok az marka var ve Cereal Milk Soft Serve de bunun en büyük örneklerinden biri. Şişeyi ilk kullandığınızda müthiş bir cornflakes kokusu çıkmıştı. O kokuyu bir daha hiç yakalayamadım. Genel anlamda anlatayım: dondurmanın külahını gözünüze getirin, dakikalar geçtikçe vanilyalı dondurma topları eriyor ve külahınız yumuşuyor, vanilya ellerinize bulaşıyor. Yapış yapış hissettiriyor ama iyi ki de hissettiriyor. Vanilla Bean Noel'in formülünü mahvettikten sonra bunu bir özür olarak satışa çıkartmış olabilirsiniz, ben bu özrü kabul ettim bile.

I've actually surprised myself with how much I love this and I am fickle with my milky frags. This is a sweet sugary cereal milk with a likeable cornflake/rice crispy quality that probably prevents this from becoming way too sugary sweet. It's nostalgic, edible and honestly pretty comforting. Currently loving spraying this on my sweaters for a cozy nighttime fix. Very much recommend this as a bed scent. (Btw, this is the only thing I've enjoyed from this collection. Everything else had made me nauseous :/).

I loved this so much I bought two bottles, but i think when it gets warmer I'll be putting it away til fall/winter. At first it's really corn flakey! but as it settles, I get warm, sweet vanilla marshmallows. It's pretty one note, but its so good. Seems to be 50/50 with half the folk enjoying and the other half getting pee and corn flakes. Thankfully I get the warm vanilla marshmallow scent. I probably only have another month or two of wearing this and then I'll keep it packed away til fall.

First of all, this scents longevity is crazy!!! I love milk scents so this is perfect for me, I can see why some say it smells spoiled, it's just warm sweet milk to me, with some starchiness in the background. I love it I wear it to bed (to save the noses of the public) almost every night especially in the winter. It's actually just so good I can't hush up about it, it's so cozy and comforting (i have 6 bottles of this thanks to semi annual sale, and im not mad about it)

Okay y’all, this is a very good Lactonic scent! I’d say pretty photorealistic! Very sweet and creamy. Much more sweet than fresh cream philosophy. While I don’t get the ice cream note persay the milk and sugar cereal is pronounced: with this said.. it works best on skin and LESS is more! I find that it layers AMAZIng with vanilla bean Noel Vs its respective lotion. It brings out the sugar vs the milk/ .. it’s warm:: sweet, cozy and less is more ;)

idk why everyone is saying it smells bad . It smells so goodddd. The initial spray is like similar to sol de janeiro 71 like a bakery smell ???But that last for a minute and when it settles into the skin it’s like a condensed milk smell and some kind of white chocolate and on me the smell lasts so well. But beware this is for TRUE gormand lovers if you don’t like those kind of scents your probably not gonna like this fragrance.

3 scents: milk, sugar, cereal (from most to least predominant) This doesn't smell spoiled or anything like that to me at all. Smells like sweet milk with a little hint of corn flakes/cereal and not in a popcorny scent way. It's perfect and smells like the name. One of the best milk scents I've smelled! I imagine this would really smell so good in the shower. Hope to get the body cream.

Omg this smells amazing! I thought cereal milk sounded disgusting but I was wrong! I love the Birthday Cake scent but wasn’t really interested in the others but just bought them out of curiosity because they were on sale and OMG! I love every scent in this line!! I haven’t tried the peppermint one, yet, because it’s on the way. This one is a gourmand lovers dream!!

I have genuinely never bought perfume, cologne, or any other spray-able scented product before this. I got the soap version of this, and loved it so much I bought the perfume. Take that as you will. This smells like you shoved cereal and vanilla ice cream into a bottle, then proceeded to shake it up and pour it down yourself. Luckily, I actually like that.

I get that it’s not everyone’s taste but I am def in love with this one ! The sugary milk note omgg I love it so much ! Packaging also very very cute and it’s one of the reasons I got this baby you all ! Try this spray if you love milky sugary scents . And it stays on my clothes for 10 hours or so :) I like to smell it on me even after all those hours

It smells *exactly* like rice krispy treats. It takes the whole cereal milk thing very literal. It's really sweet, but not necessarily in an artificial way like strawberry poundcake. I personally love this scent. It is a weaker one though, it doesn't really project but lasts a little while on my clothes. Layering might help it last longer.
