Most lactonic scent of all time.

Fresh Cream is photorealistic cream whipped with vanilla and sugar. As @Gourmandgrl writes, there is an almost-spoilt facet. I don't mind this as it reminds me of cream whipped to a near buttery icing on cake, and icing sits exposed to air for a time. (Cream inside a cake remains fresher smelling.) Being on the cusp of cloying and given surprising longevity, Fresh Cream takes commitment. A spray before bed is detectable this morning. I don't consider this to be a skin scent; it's much to bold and distinctly lactonic. You WILL smell like cream! From first spray through dry down, this scent remains the same. I'd bought this as a versatile layer, but now I'm not sure. Still, overall, I'm pleased.

Who wants ice cream???

This really does smell like I walked into Coldstone Creamery or Dairy Queen or some other chain ice cream store where the air is thick with vanilla soft serve and waffle cone smells. Honestly, it was too much sweetness for me. I ended up wearing it layered with Banana Republic Rosewood, which is also a vanilla scent but has enough woody tones in it to balance out the dessert festival. Fresh Cream lends itself well to layering, so use it to sweeten up things that might feel too dark or serious for you. Personally, I can't really see wearing this on it's own. It feels immature to walk around smelling like a tub of frosting, but to each his own.

A distinct powdered milk scent

There is a super distinct smell that powdered milk has (rather than fresh milk), and this is it. Powdered milk doesn't have anything close to a fresh baby powder - instead it's still lactonic, but also has a tinge of something sour or curdled. You also get some of that same note with "shelf-stable" milk (found in the non-refrigerated cartons), in case you've smelled those.

This is definitely one you need to sample in store first (and give yourself time to walk around with it on your skin, to see how it changes) before you buy a full bottle - you'll either love this, or hate it. Personally, it wasn't appealing at all to me - but I could see how some could find it comforting.

Light & softly sweet

I recently got a bottle of this for my sister (since she wouldn't shaddap about how amazing it is, haha!) Before sending it off in a perfume-filled care package, I just had to try it out for myself. I couldn't imagine what it might smell like, based on the name and sheer lack of notes.

I get hints of florals/musk, somehow.. it's sweet, but not toothache-inducing gourmand-style sweet. It's light, refreshing, and gives your skin a sweet-smelling pick me up, without overpowering it. It's not my personal preference (I go for dark and complicated scents typically), but it is quite nice for what it is, and considering the name, isn't the least bit misleading.
