Dedcool as a brand has been steadily gaining popularity over the past few years stemming from their initial fragrance launch Milk. Their approach to fragrance is rooted in providing scents that are easily worn alone or layered to enhance your own personal scent profile. I was slow to explore the brand but heard so much buzz surrounding their products that I finally decided to order some to try. I have acquired quite a few of their best selling scents and wanted to do a full review on all of them in case you wanted to try one for yourself. In addition to their extensive lineup of fragrances, they have expanded into detergents, home scents, dryer sheets and pet products because of the success of their fresh scent profiles. I own a few of these ancillary products as well so I can give a quick blurb about each and which I recommend!

Dedcool Fragrance Review

Milk Fragrance

This was the fragrance that really put Dedcool on the map. It’s a skin-like musk scent that is very easy to wear, genderless and great for layering. With notes of bergamot, white musk and amber, this feels almost like a no-fragrance fragrance. I can hardly smell this on myself but often get compliments from others when I wear it. So clearly it can be smelled by others but not in an overpowering way. If you struggle to find a fragrance that feels fresh and clean but won’t overwhelm the space you are in all day, this is a must try!

Xtra Milk Fragrance

With the success of Milk, the brand launched a stronger version called Xtra Milk which has now become even more popular than it’s original namesake. This fragrance has the exact same notes as Milk (bergamot, white musk and amber) but in a slightly stronger concentration. It is still VERY delicate and soft while still giving you that soft skin-like musk scent that everyone fell in love with. Another aspect to this launch was how well it layers with other scents not only from Dedcool, but any brand. Adding that delicate musk note as a base is a great way to create your own signature scent by mixing it with your favorite fragrances.

Mochi Milk Fragrance

It took me some time to get into this scent despite being a lover of sweet and fruity fragrances. It’s my least favorite out of all the Dedcool fragrances I own, but is still one I reach for. There is still a musk base to this EDP which you can smell as it dries down. The top notes are what you are hit with first when you smell this. Marshmallow, peach nectar and incense are the opening notes which is where you get the sweet and fruity mix. Middle notes are sweet rice milk, vanilla bean and jasmine petals add a touch of floral and vanilla to balance out the sweetness. Bottom notes of sandalwood, amber and white musk complete the scent by adding some creaminess to the overall experience.

Mocha Magic Fragrance

There is their newest launch and probably my favorite out of this entire bunch! I love the smell of coffee but it’s hard to find fragrances that embody the scent in a palatable way. Mocha Magic manages to give that coffee experience without any bitterness. The scent opens with espresso, mocha and cream notes that immediately make me fall in love with this perfume. Middle notes are biscotti, toffee and bourbon followed by base notes of vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood. I LOVE this fragrance though it is a fall/winter scent for sure. I cannot see myself wearing this in the spring/summer because of how rich it feels and wears on the skin. But it’s one of my current favorite fall/winter fragrances.

Mineral Milk Fragrance

My Dedcool collection feels like the perfect grouping of scent categories. This final scent falls into a more watery aquatic scent with a hint of fruit. It’s light but still has small hints of creaminess and warmth. The opening notes are golden nectar and passionfruit which you smell immediately. But after a few seconds you are immediately hit with the middle notes of coastal lavender, ocean air and marine salt which makes it feel fresh and airy. Base notes are amber milk, Virginia cedar and sandalwood which is why the fragrance eventually feels a bit richer the longer you wear it.

Additional Dedcool Products I Use and Love

Dryer Sheets

While I use unscented laundry products for my husband and son, I LOVE to use all the fragranced things for my clothing. These scented laundry pods in french saffron or himalayan cashmere are my preferred detergent options (you can use code: MAREE15 to save if you want to try them!), but for dryer sheets I love the ones from Dedcool in Xtra Milk. The laundry pods add their scent to my clothing while the dryer sheets provide just a hint of that skin-like musk scent I adore. Laundry is my least favorite chore to do so choosing products that make it more enjoyable is my coping mechanism. Ha!

Room + Linen Spray

I thought it was a genius move to offer home products in their iconic Milk and Xtra milk scents. They both embody that clean, fresh aura that everyone wants for their home which is why I love their room + linen spray. It’s the perfect finishing touch after I’ve made the bed or finished cleaning.

I’ve decided to streamline my book ratings moving forward. Choosing between 1-5 with no half ratings is how I will rate each book moving forward. Hopefully this makes things easier when deciding which of my recommendations you want to read!

Everything I Read in October 2026

The Girls Before

The premise of this book sounded more interesting than it ended up being. Bummer. At times, I even struggled to follow the story because it seemed to veer off and lose momentum. Audrey is a search and rescue expert who is fueled by the disappearance of her childhood friend. When word gets out about another missing teen who authorities think just ran away, Audrey knows there is more to the story. While searching nearby woods for any sign of the missing girl, Audrey stumbles upon a hidden bunker that she thinks was used to house missing girls from the area. Local law enforcement doesn’t seem to be doing enough so Audrey tries to find answers on her own. Honestly, I got lost too many times throughout the story to follow what was actually happening so it was definitely not a favorite from this month. Rating: 2

Hollow Bones

I had barely finished the first chapter of this book when I knew it was going to emotionally destroy me (in the best way). And BOY WAS I RIGHT!!! No one knows how to build emotion quite like Jodi Picoult. Molly runs the Rhode Island Emergency Preparedness Department, a role she has felt destined for since childhood.

At only 2 months old, Molly’s mom died in the September 11th tragedy forever altering the course of Molly’s life. She never got to know her mother though her father and new stepmother were the most loving parents who gave Molly a wonderful life. It’s not until Molly and her husband find out they are expecting their first child do old secrets reveal themselves. Molly must face a new reality that makes her question everything she has ever known about love, life and soon to be motherhood. I could have read 1000 more pages from this book…it was a true masterpiece. Rating: 5

The People We Keep

I wanted this book to be so much more than it was. There are so many great reviews on it so maybe it just wasn’t for me. I also found it depressing in a way that I had trouble trudging through without wanting to quit. I did finish it but it was a struggle. April is a young teen girl with a deadbeat dad and a mother who abandoned the family years ago. She lives alone in a trailer her father owns but visits infrequently leaving April to essentially parent herself.

When things between April and her father come to a head, April decides to leave and look for a new life in a neighboring town. Thankfully she finds community in this new city but doesn’t disclose to her new friends that she is only 16 years old. The lies about her age can only go on for so long before April must make the decision to move on again. She continues this nomadic lifestyle until she finds herself pregnant a few years later. April decides to return home and face her past in hopes of reconciling her feelings in order to be a good mother. There were moments where I would like the story but ultimately found the overall plot to be lacking. Rating: 3

Cold Cold Heart

A bit of a predictable mystery/thriller but one that kept me engaged nonetheless. Dana was a promising TV reporter with a bright future ahead of her until she was kidnapped by one of the state’s most notorious serial killers. In an act of desperation and survival, Dana was able to kill her abductor and put an end to his years long spree. Dana’s family hoped that with the proper help and treatment she would return to her old self and assimilate back into their lives. But that did not happen. Dana’s trauma fundamentally changed her and who she thought she was.

After returning back to her hometown, Dana comes face to face with the memories of her best friend who mysteriously disappeared one night and never was seen again. Viewing things through a new lens, Dana decides to look into her friend’s disappearance and questions everything she thought she knew about the people around her. But certain people don’t want Dana asking questions and will stop at nothing to make sure she never learns the truth. There are a few twists and turns but all are quite predictable though I still enjoyed the story. Rating: 4

A Good Person

What I love most about reading and always have is how books can make us feel so many different emotions. And those emotions don’t always have to be positive. To absolutely LOATHE and DESPISE a main character is not a bad thing always. In the case of this book, I could not stand the protagonist Lilian which made me LOVE this book even more. Ha! The absolute disgust I had for her made this book almost impossible to put down. Sometimes we hope a character will evolve throughout the book seeing the error of their ways but that was not the case in this story. And while infuriating, it was also fascinating and so true to real life.

Lilian is a complex young woman living her life in Boston, working a basic corporate job and trying to navigate love. When she meets Henry one night at a bar, the hope for more is immediately there. But their dynamic stays complex which only further frustrates Lilian creating a recipe for disaster. When someone murders Henry outside a local bar, Lilian faces scrutiny she believes is unwarranted, though her actions may tell a different story. Allow yourself to completely hate Lilian through and through, but don’t let that stop you from reading this book! Rating: 5

Heart of Glass

This is a sequel to Jennifer Hillier’s book Wonderland but you don’t have to read that before in order to follow along. The story is easy to follow without any of the history. An easy to get through mystery/thriller that kept me guessing all the way through. There were some obvious tells here and there but I did enjoy how the story played out.

Barb, Nicolette and Lorelei were teenage best friends until Lorelei was found dead in a cranberry bog. She was though to have been murdered by a well known serial killer who she was seen with that evening. The killer even confessed to her murder along with 4 other women. But after decades behind bars, the killer is being interviewed for a documentary about his crimes and reveals that he never killed Lorelei. The cops wanted to close the case and got him to admit to her death.

During the decades since Lorelei’s death, Barb and Nicolette have gone separate ways fracturing a friendship that seemed unstable to begin with. Barb remained in their hometown, while Nicolette went on to star in one of the top reality shows on TV. Nicolette returns to the small seaside town she fled years ago only when her alcohol abuse forces her to enter rehab. Barb and Nicolette meet up but only to make sure each is still keeping the secret surrounding Lorelei’s death. It’s not until the documentary airs that they have to possibly devise a new story in order to stay out of jail. There are a lot of characters in this book but you can easily follow each storyline which helps to build the suspense. Rating: 4
