Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a perfume “milky”?

Milky textures have taken over skin- and hair-care products, but what qualifies a non-tangible scent as a milky substance? Well, it’s more about the scent’s olfactory composition than its texture. “‘Milky’ usually describes a fragrance with milk (mostly milk sugar) or a transparent creaminess,” says Vince Spinnato, a Hollywood-based perfumer and cosmetic chemist. Lactonic scents are often labeled as gourmand and tend to be paired with vanilla, sandalwood, fruits, and white flowers. “It evokes a sweetness and a coziness or comforting essence,” says Spinnato.

Mandy Aftel, a perfumer based in Berkeley, California, adds that milky fragrances have a “soft, flat” composition as opposed to the sharpness of, say, cheese. “It’s skin-like and creamy,” she says.

Which fragrance notes are found in milky perfumes?

Fun fact: Your fragrance doesn’t have to feature a milk-derived accord to qualify as a milky fragrance. Spinnato says that perfumers recreate a milky perfume smell with materials called lactones, which are typically found in fruits. “They tend to smell like coconut or peach, but when mixed with vanilla, they create a milky aroma,” Spinnato notes. Other notes that impart creaminess are soft woods, vanilla, heliotrope, tuberose, some roses, and caramelized sugar, he adds.
