Milk -

I have no idea why I like this so much but I honestly think this maybe the only fragrance I have ever actually liked and wanted to wear. I hate overly sweet scents, woody scents often give me a headache. I should hate this fragrance... but to be honest I have realized I don't really hate these things- its just that most of the time they are too strong for me. I am so picky about fragrance that I usually wear nothing- my deodorant is unscented, my cleaning products too... so it's hard for me to find something that doesn't gnaw at my sinuses painfully and well... this doesnt! but I still don't know why I like it. I keep telling myself its too feminine for me, its too sweet.... but I cant stop wanting to smell it.. so I keep wearing it! I was in denial so long it took me forever to purchase it.. I would just keep going to sephora to try it on and think "oh its just ok, its missing something" then an hour would go by and i would just keep reaching my arm up to sniff. The sweetness was still there, but it smelled like me, and the sweetness wasn't sugary- just sweet. I don't ever get marshmallowy except at the very very start... and it never seems to go powdery on me (one way ticket to a headache). I am a bit sensitive, but I think it lasts very long. On me it lingers at its best spot even after 12+ hours. It's oddly very skin-like and natural. It feels like it's supposed to be there when I smell it Milk- is like my favorite deserts... hardly sweet, a little savory, and so light you could eat a lot of it. I love it! I like some of the other personals too but I need to give them some more time... they all feel very thoughtfully balanced and subtle though, which is very exciting to me since I long felt like I would never really be able to enjoy perfumes

This is a blind purchase I’ve been wanting to make for about three years now. When they offered 30ml bottles to be sold individually for Black Friday, I finally bit the bullet. The listed accords on Fragrantica don't lie—this is a very powdery, lactonic, and musky marshmallow fragrance. On first impression, I pick up mostly the woody and musky notes, but as it settles, it transforms into a pure marshmallow scent. It’s incredibly comforting, but I wouldn’t call it a safe blind buy. For the record, I don’t think it smells like milk at all; it’s more of a warm, woody marshmallow perfume. It's not too sweet and it sits quite close to the skin, so I think I could wear this all year besides peak summer. I don't really care for what others think of my perfume, but my friends have told me this is one of their favourite scents on me (the other favourite being Delina). Update: I have fallen head over heels in love with this perfume and if I still adore it the same by the time I finish my 30ml, I will absolutely be upgrading to a full-size. I think my first impressions weren’t that great because it wasn’t what I was expecting, but if you try it knowing you’re going to get a lovely woody, creamy, musky marshmallow (and not milk), you will be in for a treat. Updated my original review a bit to reflect this.

To me, this is straight vanilla marshmallows, I think it’s a little too sweet to be realistic milk but this is probably my favourite gourmand scent I’ve tried. I don’t find it cloying (I’ve not had it long enough to have tried in warm weather, but I also live in a pretty cold climate generally) like some have mentioned since the silage isn’t huge. Though they advertise this as intimate silage, I actually find if I spray it on my wrists I still get wafts of it so I’d say it’s more moderate and just fades a little faster than the others, though the slightly sweet, lactonic musk sticks around for a while in the dry down. I don't get any woodiness necessarily, any warmth just comes from the vanillin sweetness. It's fairly linear, which may be a negative for some though it does what it does really well. Definitely one to try for anyone else obsessed with lactonic musks like myself, this is definitely a lovely soft sweet smell that I find is harder to find in gourmands. I especially love that it’s not a syrupy vanilla but more like the vanilla from a marshmallow.

I’m loving this! As a fan of Milk+ for a year now, I was intrigued to get my nose on the Milk- because I wanted a version of the product that matches the juice! And to me, Milk- is that white, milky, lactonic, powdery, sweet goodness bottled in the perfect shade of white. To compare it with Milk+ this version is less woodsy, less spicy and more creamy and softer. Yes, you’re losing in performance department with Milk-, but this is the creamier, more realistic version of a milk/marshmallows fragrance. As I own both, a small bottle of Milk+ and a travel size of Milk-, I can get a customisable, combined version of both versions highs. Which it might be tomorrow’s scent of the day. If you want something sweet and creamy, decadent and delicious, gourmand and powdery get yourself to a Sephora for a sniff session and test all three Milk available. I am convinced that one would “speak” to your personal taste.

my current favorite fragrance. super unique to me and has gotten me quite a few compliments. when first applied I get A LOT of the sweetness with very warm creamy wood. At first it’s not very milky but after a bit of time on the skin it developed into this lactonic creamy wood with a touch of sweetness. It reminds me of waking up in a remote cabin, sitting on a porch in the woods drinking a warm cup of milk that has a touch of nuttiness. it’s sweet without being immature. i see a lot of people saying it’s too masculine but to me it is the perfect middle ground unisex fragrance, but almost all of the compliments i’ve gotten with it are from men so do with that information what you will. i’m seriously obsessed with this fragrance but it does smell very different on skin vs on a tester.
