The subtly sweet, cozy, comforting scent of milk
is a prized note in perfumes.
Not only does it create a regression to childhood,
welcome solace, but it enhances floral components and matches the sweeter elements
really well.
The recent rise of the gourmand sub-group (within the Oriental fragrance
family) exhibited lots of fragrances that take milk notes as a departing point: either as
wholesome as milk itself (notably in Matin Calin by Compotoir Sud Pacifique) or
reminding us of milky desserts, such as rice pudding (as in Kenzo Amour), the
condensed milk used in sweet tea (Jo Malone Tea Collection Sweet Milk), or crocustinged milk puddings (L Artisan Parfumeur Saffran Troublant).
