An Honest Review of DedCool’s New Mochi Milk Perfume

“Oh my god, what perfume are you wearing?” is a question that gives me a special sort of high. Not that I select my fragrances based on any sort of validation (although I’ll gladly take any opportunity to gush over my current collection), but when someone literally stops you in your tracks to ask for your scent, that’s when you know you have something good—really good.

Whenever this happens, there’s a 90% chance I’m wearing DedCool—namely, Xtra Milk. The cult-favorite skin scent is a musky, amber-y concoction meant to smell like you, but better, and it blooms differently on everyone. Still, multiple people I know, from fellow editors to friends I’ve influenced, have received myriad “You smell incredible!” compliments whenever they’re donning the DedCool magic. So when the brand announced a shiny new addition to the beloved Milk lineup, I expected nothing short of pandemonium among the fragrance-obsessed.
