Consider This Your Cozy-Season Nudge"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

I love a good musk scent. Although the word musk has Sanskrit roots meaning \u201ctesticle,\u201d romantic\u2014I know, I simply cannot get enough of it. I\u2019ve written so many musk-focused articles at this point I\u2019ve lost count, but I\u2019m sure my past self, or even better, the search bar, can help you dig them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how did we get here\u2014to me willingly shoving my beloved skin-like musks to the back of the shelf in favor of\u2026 marshmallow? One word: Squishmallows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because yes, your emotional support plushies just launched full-on perfume: Whisked Away, Pink Possibilities, and Moonlit Mist, all packed in pastel bottles that look like they belong in a Lisa Frank altar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whisked Away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whisked Away smells like your favorite caf\u00e9 order turned into a giant, comforting hug. Think steamed milk and caramel drizzle melting into vanilla latte foam, softened by white peach and tiger orchid, then grounded with creamy sandalwood to keep it from floating off into pure sugar. Yes, you’re an adult, but you’ll love everything about this, and even give the bottle the best place on the vanity table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pink Possibilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I know Pink Possibilities is officially inspired by Patty the Cow\u2019s springtime farmer\u2019s market booth, very wholesome, very strawberry-stained picnic blanket energy. But to me? It smells less like fresh produce and more like the first bite of a strawberry sugar ribbon at a county fair: Sun-warmed strawberries, kiwi candy slices, and a cloud of pink crystallized sugar that sticks to your fingertips and refuses to let go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moonlit Mist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On that same website that gave us the Patty-the-Cow-at-the-farmer\u2019s-market backstory, we learn that Moonlit Mist is inspired by Zumirez the Bat\u2019s enchanted forest home. This one really does smell like a nighttime orchard, with crisp green apple nectar, tart cherry skin, and lychee petals floating on cool air, making us believe that someone has the power to squeeze the breeze in a secret garden lit only by moonlight, turn it into an essence, and we can wear it. Oh, the powers of dreams, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once you open the door to marshmallow fragrance territory, there\u2019s no going back. Suddenly, you\u2019re emotionally invested. You\u2019re knee-deep in KILIAN Love, Don\u2019t Be Shy, also known as Rihanna\u2019s rumored favorite scent, i.e., the perfume that allegedly made Lil Nas X say she smelled like \u201cheaven\u201d and made every celebrity who\u2019s hugged her whisper \u201cwhat are you wearing?\u201d into the void.<\/a> It\u2019s a sweet, sweet swirl of orange blossom, vanilla, neroli, and gooey marshmallow,\u00a0 like candied floral crumbs dusted over warm skin. Who wouldn\u2019t want to smell like Rihanna?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s Juliette Has A Gun\u2019s new Powder Love, and if this is the kind of powder Juliette\u2019s gun is shooting, go ahead, aim it at my pulse points. It feels like Love, Don\u2019t Be Shy\u2019s quieter, pastel-pink cousin who journals in cursive and collects antique lace. Marshmallow, cotton candy, orange blossom, sugared almond, musk, and tonka,  like someone dusted powdered sugar off a mochi or a Ladur\u00e9e drag\u00e9e and decided it should live on skin forever. Cozy, hazy, and just the tiniest bit melancholy, totally in that cinematic, staring-out-the-window-on-a-train way, being present in the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, but before you drown in sugar\u2026 layer responsibly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Marshmallow needs contrast to really hit. Like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
