Milk Moon 2026

Folk horror, but make it breakfast cereal: dehydrated pumpkin marshmallows and blackened cocoa corn puffs in sugared milk.

PUMPKIN SPICE. CINNAMON AND CLOVE.

 

A little hint of milk.

 

After about a half hour the PUMPKIN SPICE mellows down a little and lets the milk and cocoa shine through. I think I'll like this a lot in the fall but it's not a very spring/summer scent.

Bury me in spooky cereal!! 

 

Dry, pumpkin spicy goodness with a whiff of sweet cocoa underneath. The milk note is the drydown. This doesn’t have a serious throw to it, it’s more like if you sit near or hug someone that they will most likely notice you smell like some childhood favorite breakfast cereal that they can’t quite indentify. I bet it will age beautifully!

This really does smell like pumpkin and cocoa puffs. You can tell that the pumpkin marshmallows are dehydrated because while they are pumpkin spice-y and sweet, they lack the usual marshmallow floof. Although this is a cereal scent, it never becomes super milky on my skin, and the sweet pumpkin is always the star of the show. The cocoa puff part of the scent is most noticeable during the first few hours of wear, and eventually, the scent settles into a syrupy pumpkin scent.

 

Layered with Milk Moon: Matcha & Pumpkin Rind - When I wore the duet on its own, the spicy pumpkin was stronger than the matcha. When I layered it with its moon, the matcha was the strongest note, hovering over the pumpkin notes.

 

Layered with Milk Moon: Milk & White Musk - This adds a milky layer over the moon and makes it seem more like a bowl of cereal.

 

I think this smells lovely and think it would be nice to wear during the autumn. Since there's not much of an autumn where I live, I'm going to have to deliberate on whether or not I need a full bottle of this before the scent departs. But I'll definitely be hanging onto the decant!
