A comforting can of evaporated milk

This is a lactonic cinnamon blend, but it's not a cinnamon roll or creamy "dessert".

There's a hint of "metallic" accord, which makes it feel like a realistic can of shelf-milk. The milk isn't sweet, or thick - it's very clearly the "canned" type of milk, as it's a bit "thinner" and lacks the richness of milk fat. The cinnamon is a support player, softly in the background of the lactonic/"tinny" profile.

It smells to me like the beginning of baking in the kitchen, when you prep the ingredients and open the canned milk - which is so comforting to me. I never thought I'd want to smell like canned milk + cinnamon, and probably wouldn't want to out in public - but I love the cozy scent bubble this creates, and don't have anything else like this in my wardrobe.

@Gourmandgrl I just tried this today and it really reminds me of lait concentré, but less sweet and sticky! I remember you were planning to get that - have you had the chance to try it?

Hi @Jessaiee , I'm so glad you got to try this one! How are you liking it - do you prefer this, or Lait Concentré more?
I did finally get to test Lait Concentré, you're so kind to remember! 🫶
The opening was a super realistic sweetened condensed milk, totally magical!
The dry-down did not agree with my skin chemistry unfortunately, but the beginning was so fun to experience.
Thank you so much again for the recommendation! 🤗💖
