5000 people have been anticipating the latest release from this trendy fragrance brand—it's finally arrived.

      "Oh my god, what perfume are you wearing?" is a question that gives me a unique thrill. While my choice of fragrances isn't driven by validation (though I love sharing my current collection), the moment someone stops to ask about my scent, it signals that I've found something truly exceptional. When this occurs, there's a 90% chance I'm wearing DedCool’s Xtra Milk. This cult-favorite skin scent features a musky, amber composition designed to smell like you, but enhanced, and it reacts differently on everyone. Many people I know, from fellow editors to friends I've influenced, often receive compliments like, "You smell amazing!" when they wear DedCool. Therefore, when the brand introduced a new addition to the Milk lineup, I anticipated considerable excitement among fragrance enthusiasts.

      Indeed, my expectations were correct—the new fragrance attracted a waitlist of over 5,000 people before its launch, and the secret is finally revealed. Presenting Mochi Milk, an enjoyable, trendy blend that rivals my daily spritz of Xtra Milk. If you’re looking for an "IYKYK" scent that draws compliments (*raises both hands*), I recommend checking out the details below.

      What does DedCool Mochi Milk smell like? Mochi Milk is DedCool’s first true gourmand fragrance, but for those who adore musky scents, it's not overly sweet. While many dessert-inspired fragrances can overwhelm with cake and caramel notes (which can be lovely if done well), Mochi Milk is decidedly more subtle. Its amber and white musk base mirrors Xtra Milk, a fresh and clean skin scent that harmonizes with any perfume you can think of, and I believe Mochi Milk is just as vibrant. The distinction lies in its gentle hints of vanilla, rice milk, marshmallow, and peach nectar, which add a creaminess to the fragrance—essentially providing the "milk" in Mochi Milk.

      “Creamy” (not “sweet”) is precisely how I would characterize this new scent. It has a familiarity, a softness that blossoms on the skin with each spray, and feels like a fragrant equivalent of a warm, comforting hug. Similar to a rich dessert, this is a scent I genuinely crave: over the past ten days, I’ve found myself sniffing the cuff of my sweater just to enjoy its softness.

      How long does DedCool perfume last? Xtra Milk interacts with your own skin chemistry, resulting in a scent that is uniquely yours, which means it can fade after a few hours (or I might just become accustomed to its scent, which is definitely possible). I typically reapply it throughout the day if I prefer a stronger fragrance, but with Mochi Milk, one application is certainly sufficient. It does become softer over the day, yet those creamy, soft notes remain (if anything, I'd argue they become even more delightful with wear). Occasionally, I'll use the brand’s Milk Layering + Enhancer Fragrance to amplify the scent without overpowering those softer, sweeter elements.

      Is DedCool Mochi Milk worth it? I anticipated that any new release from DedCool would draw a substantial waitlist—especially being an extension of the much-loved Milk collection—but Mochi Milk has exceeded my expectations. It’s comforting, warm, creamy, and bright—everything I desire in a non-overpowering gourmand fragrance.

      Additionally, it’s surprisingly versatile for a dessert-inspired scent. I usually save gourmand fragrances for date nights because there’s something inherently sultry about a sweet, indulgent treat (and I don’t typically want to smell like a sugary cookie at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday), but I find Mochi Milk gentle enough for everyday use—hence my frequent spritzing since sampling it two weeks ago! It can be rich and intense when desired but is also delicate enough for those who prefer a more subtle, improved version of themselves. Rich, smooth, and intriguingly mysterious—that epitomizes a cool girl’s gourmand, wouldn’t you agree?
