Condensed Milk

This is my all-time favorite fragrance. When I can't sleep I will spray my pillowcase with this, and am able to drift of to sleep with this sweet, innocent smell of comfort. I layer it with nearly all of my other fragrances, and wear it as-is on quiet, at-home days. It smells like sugar and vanilla which is what I smell when warming condensed milk. If I bury my nose into my wrist or occasionally as I turn my head I do smell a warm-milk fragrance, but the other thing I smell is a warm powdery fragrance that blends with everything else and keeps this from smelling too sweet! If your mama spent all day in the kitchen baking fresh cookies, this is what I imagine her hugs would smell like. Warm, sweet and comforting, with plenty of rich vanilla.

So hear me out, this is the white floral, white milk, “lactone” note that I smell in Blanche Bete. Its airy like a fat free sweetened almond milk, definitely not condensed full fat dairy milk. Its missing an inherent savory-fattyness that I think dairy cream has. Its extremely sweet and fresh—as in there’s nothing deep or dark, no layers or dimensions—and a little sharp like white sugar crystals nonetheless. One of my favorites to wear to bed or to layer under other gourmands. Generally inoffensive, office, church, interview safe, and as all Demeter frags, gets a little performance anxiety and shys away after a few hours. I love her for what she is though, artificial and synthetic but still charming.

This smells NOTHING like wax, as someone commented below. It’s sweet sugared cream with a soft, almost coconut note. I wouldn’t say there is caramel in there, just a deep rich sweet cream / vanilla scent. It’s not super strong with the silage, but you’ll definitely notice it. It lasted a fair amount of time, I’d say about 4 hours. I was lucky and found this little gem on Amazon for 8 bucks!

i love its simplicity as a scent.it smells just like fresh ground coconut drizzled in rich sweetened condensed milk when first sprayed.on the dry down it smells of only sweetened condensed milk.very light,delicate,and realistic.over all 7 1/2 out of 10 next to other perfumes.but,if i were holding it up to other milk note scents it is a firm 9 out of 10.

I genuinely think this scent just works with my skin well or I would’ve hated it. On me it smells like my favorite curly hair products, mixed with sunscreen & vanilla. It smells like I just spent the day outside after a shower with tanning lotion on. It’s very nostalgic to me for some reason. It’s my summer scent
