Collection: Cream Perfumes

Cream in perfume smells smooth, soft and milky, like thick cream poured over something sweet. The collection holds 420+ perfumes that list cream or whipped cream; prices start around $2 and reach about $785.

What Cream Does in a Fragrance

Cream is an accord rather than an extract: perfumers blend creamy, lactonic and vanilla-like materials to get a rich, rounded feel. It is used to soften sharp or dry notes and to give gourmand perfumes a pillowy body. The collection includes whipped cream, which reads lighter and airier.

Among the perfumes people discuss in the communities Scendira tracks, Floral Street Ylang Ylang Espresso, Fascent Milky No Way and Coquillete Cookiecrunch each list cream. Ylang Ylang Espresso lists whipped cream in the base, Milky No Way lists cream in the heart, and Cookiecrunch opens on whipped cream.

Suits: People who like smooth, soft, dessert-like perfumes. Skip if: you want a dry or sharp perfume.

For the wider family, see gourmand perfumes. Neighbouring notes worth a look: whipped cream perfumes and coconut milk perfumes.
