Sweet Milk

Sheer, fragile, creamy and sweet are some words that come to my mind when I smell this. I think I smell mostly creamy whipped egg whites and some almonds. The caramel is not detectable until it dries a little. Almonds, tending to smell like Play Doh (salty) are especially prominent in the opening. Then they hide, leaving just a creamy feel. Vanilla is also more like an echo in this fragrance, subtle and sheer. In my eyes this has some similarities with Mirato Malizia - Bon Bons Milk Shake, especially in the drydown. I'm not really sure because I gave Bon Bons some while ago away.. but it' seems that they are both sheer and airy, like a baloon (it doesn't smell rubbery, it's just airy). Still, Sweet Milk seems to me a tad creamier, Bon Bons being even more "weightless" if that makes sense. Bon Bons was a little too airy/cold for my liking, but Sweet Milk is just perfect. I actually imagined Sweet Milk would be heavier - not so sheer; like warm milk, but it's not (still searching for that one), but I still find it enough unique addition to my shelf. I don't get any kinky notes, described from other reviewers, but I understand why not everybody would like this. It's a true gourmand.

I love anything with milky caramel notes so I blind bought this. I'm not disappointed but I do think it's overpriced. The bergamot in the opening is sharp, really sharp and bitter actually, but I can smell this caramel condensed milk coming through beneath it, it seems like the milkiness is struggling to break through actually, and the opening is the least favorite part for me, ad it almost seems not well blended and I also question whether it's really necessary to have the bergamot in this milky creation at all. However once that dissipates I'm left with a lovely gourmand caramelly condensed milk. I mean I just love milk so I knew I'd love this. It's not the best milky scent I have but it's good. There isn't any burnt notes which is good but the star anise provides a hint of depth and sharpness for interest. Overpriced a bit I think but seems to have decent silage and longevity, esp for a cologne.

This is precisely warm sweet milk.. done perfectly. Its heavenly - not cloying or too sweet and thankfully I can't detect any clove at all. Just thick warm milk and sugar, if pushed to find any other notes then barely there tiny hints of playdoh and marzipan. It smells very foody and substantial and so, so comforting.. this is purity and innocence in a bottle, I love it and I felt so confident and 'dressed' or complete wearing this today, which sounds so tacky but I absolutely mean it.. if only it wasn't a limited edition ;( I'm going to finish my sample in no time....

This is a review: WOW!!! It is what it says: Sweet, milky, beautiful. I reckon I could get away with wearing this, but I may have to mix it with something of a very spicy, coffee mixture, only if wearing by itself proves a lil too femme. It starts with the obvious milk note, but mixes caramel and star anise for that sweet, candy kick. I dont need to go into a non-sensical, extacy induced rant over how beautiful it is, it smells like sweet, sticky, caramel milk. This woman is a genius. Whether you like this cologne or not, you must try all of her creations.

I will agree with Mushroomfat: WOW! This is what I thought when I tried on this perfume. It immediately transported me back to my childhood years, when my mom would put honey in our warm milk at night, before we went to sleep. I didn't get any bergamot at all and I'm glad for it. The milk note disappeared after a while but the sweetness lingered on for a few hours. This is the most comforting scent I've ever tried. I will try again, but I think this is a perfume I have to have, either to use alone or to layer with others scents.
