Milk Musk Eau de Toilette

writing my first review ever bc this is the first scent ive ever smelled that i cannot get enough of.... i adooore going into department stores and fragrance shops to try out perfumes and edts ive seen on here and liked the looks of, but i never end up being impressed by any, and sadly a lot of perfumes nowadays just give off Generic Perfume smell, without any intelligible notes. i went into the molton brown shop after only finding out about the whole brand a day before and i tried milk musk edt on my hand and by god. unreal. i have never been so taken with a fragrance in my life. i bought it straightaway i practically ran to the checkout counter. i cannot get enough of it i have been on a high off this purchase for 50 hours im fucking floating. i went into brown thomas to smell kilian love and tom ford tobacco vanille on my wrists and they were different than i remembered and i romanticised them in my head, tom ford ended up being very true to the name, but too rich and overbearing for me to wear and very pungent, and kilian had much more depth and maturity to it than the bubblegum notes that i enjoyed so much when i first smelled it. then, in molton brown, i sprayed milk musk next to tom ford, and the new rhubarb rose edt next to kilian, and they are each similar scent families but oh my god worlds better my head is spinning. im running back to the shop soon to buy rhubarb rose i dont even like rose or rhubarb scented anything but its actually fucking unbelievable i could swim in it. and the sultry sweetness in the dry down its just so feminine and summery and the milk musk is such an intimate soft cashmeran signature scent i am in love. found my two favourite scents by millions of miles

Peaches and vanilla on a woody and creamy musk base. This is not so much milk musk as it is peach musk, but the musk does have a cool, milky facet to it. It's just not a realistic, gourmand milk scent. The woody notes are noticeable especially in the drydown, but they're light and almost papery. They give the fragrance just enough balance to not turn into a simplistic peaches and cream scent. This feels like a fluffy cloud of a fragrance that is wearable in any weather, it's warm and sweet but also fresh and clean, daytime-appropriate and easy to wear with a hint of sensuality. I agree that this is similar to Burberry Woman, like so many fragrances are. Milk Musk is softer and has a more natural smelling peach note. Another scent in this family is Ame Toscane by ID perfumes, which is more floral and powdery than the other two. Out of these three I like Milk Musk the best, in my opinion it's the most refined and well-blended of them. If you want a true in-your-face powerhouse, Burberry is the better choice though, Milk Musk is more transparent. I'm curious for the EDP, I luckily got a sample of the EDT with a skincare order and haven't seen these in store yet.

I usually can’t stand any strong scents like vanilla but I’ve been desperately looking for a mildly sweet warm milk scent and this is the closest I’ve come to it so far. A quick fruity opening that is both subtle and feminine. It drys down to an almost cold milk feeling but as a smell, it’s very much an experience that you have to go through yourself to understand. The vanilla does not smell synthetic, but realistic. My mom likens the scent to smelling an expensive vanilla cake from a Paris bakery. Personally, I still get that cold liquid feeling. It’s not the milk I want but I quite like this and I’m satisfied with it enough that I won’t be looking for any more lactonic fragrances(for now). Great sillage and longevity in my opinion. If you can’t stand gourmands but would still like something sweet for winter, this is it.

So I have been playing around with this for the last couple of weeks and it just blows me away. Is it simple? Yup. Is it incredible smelling? Yes indeed. The opening comes with a sweet tarty fruit breeze of pearish apple. I smell no milk. Shortly after it moves into a divine woody musk. The vanilla becomes more prominent as it dries down, but always recedes to the background. It is not powdery at all. Remains soft. The result is one of the most beautiful scents I have ever put my nose on. I decided to pick up the edp to check what axes get magnified or changed. It is much different. Any trace if fruity is gone. It is much more musk with a slight perhaps spiced faintness. Definitely a different beast entirely.

Very soothing scent. This is light enough that I feel it can be worn at anytime, very gentle on the skin. Smelling from the bottle the musk is apparent but blends really nicely with the other notes, not too strong with a simple presence. On the skin it gives exactly what it says "milk musk", creamy, musky, grounded, and a sweetness reminding me of a mild mocha. This seemed slightly masculine at first but as I adjusted to the musk it reminded me of a unisex Burberry Goddess minus the lavender and cut down on sweetness. This would smell heavenly on a woman and handsome on a man, Disappointed that this doesn't last very long but such a perfect skin scent I will repurchase another full bottle once out
