  • Sophisticated gender-neutral fragrances lineup
  • Compliment‑magnet signature scents
  • Elegant, portable travel packaging
  • Thoughtful eco‑conscious brand ethos
  • Inconsistent skin scent longevity
  • Subtle detergent fabric scent
  • Low‑throw car air fresheners
  • Occasional oily spray residue

DedCool earns strong reviews as a modern, gender‑neutral fragrance house that delivers distinctive scents like Milk, Xtra Milk, Red Dakota, Taunt, and Madonna Lilly, with many users reporting compliments, balanced blends, and easy layering across perfumes, body care, detergents, and home. Reviews also flag weaknesses: inconsistent longevity on skin, subtle throw in some detergents and air fresheners, occasional oily residue or “chemical” lotion notes, and missing dosing tools for detergent—making sampling and layering the safest path to a match.

  • I stumbled upon this brand when I purchased their collaboration with Soft Services Theraplush hand treatment. I was particularly drawn to the Xtra Milk scent and decided to get the full-sized product. The scent is a delightful blend of musky and light notes. As someone who suffers from migraines, I appreciate that this fragrance is not overpowering and doesn’t trigger my migraines.

  • Ded Cool detergent and dryer sheets leave your clothes feeling clean and smelling fresh. The detergent suds up nicely and rinses clean, and the dryer sheets cut static with a gentle scent. The price is a little steep, but it feels like a little luxury to get into good-smelling sheets.

  • I have bought many things from Dedcool and the first thing I have to mention is that their customer service is great. I was accidentally sent lotion instead of soap that I originally ordered and they were so quick to remedy this situation. But anyway, this is not about that past experience. I recently bought a few new items--the Mochi Milk EDP, a Mochi Milk travel set, a sampler set, and I got a free sample of the red dakota detergent. My favorite thing about this scent is that it really stays with you. I wore it to Disneyland where someone stopped me and asked me what scent I was wearing, hours after I applied it and I couldn't even smell myself. The fragrances with dedcool layer really nicely and the scent lasts a long day. The Mochi Milk i bought has an updated cap which is bigger than the original cap and is easier to put on and off. The travel spray remains the same in terms of packaging. The Mochi Milk scent is so light and flattering and really works for anyone's chemistry. What I like about this one over the regular milk and even x-tra milk is that it doesnt go on oily. I felt like if I put on milk and was standing over tile, the residual spray made the floor slippery! If you're a sandlewood and amber scent lover, I would highly recommend Mochi Milk. It's not overly any of those scents, but the blend is perfection. It's on the sweeter side, but not its not like a sugary scent that would give you a headache. Its such a great cozy scent I would recommend trying. DedCool has really cool packaging and their scents are long lasting--if you are hesitant, get the sampler! I love to get it even though I am pretty committed to the Xtra and Mochi Milk I use. The sampler is a great way to try layering through products made to layer. The only reason I dont give Dedcool a 5 star rating is that the shipping is SLOW. I ordered my order 3.5 weeks before I actually got it.

  • Dedcool is one of those brands that IMMEDIATELY feels cool. Fun branding, interesting scent concepts, pretty modern. I picked up a few things in the Mochi Milk scent and was especially drawn in by the rice milk note because that sounded right up my alley (🍚) Mochi Milk is fluffy, cozy, and definitely sweet. Think soft marshmallow, vanilla, and a creamy warmth that feels comforting without being childish. If you’re a vanilla girl, you’ll probably love this. There’s a gentle fuzzy/fruitiness too and I can smell the peach, especially at the start. The rice milk gives it that pillowy, almost cloud like feel that makes it really easy to wear. Sweet, but still feels a little elevated and grown. That said, the longevity is where it falls short for me (sad face). The scent is strong right out of the gate. Opening the package honestly scented the room (hours later, someone asked what it was!) But on my skin, it fades pretty quickly. I get maybe around three hours before it’s mostly gone, which was a bit of a letdown because I loved the initial smell so much. Overall, I like Dedcool as a brand and think they do unique, wearable scents really well. Mochi Milk is cozy and pretty and fun, just not the longest lasting on me. I’d definitely recommend starting with a sampler, especially since they offer a voucher toward a full size. It’s a great way to figure out which scents really stick with you, literally and figuratively lol

  • I’m officially obsessed with Madonna Lilly Travel Spray by Dedcool. This scent is exotic, confident, and unexpectedly bold—in the best way. It truly feels like what the brand describes: a power suit in a bottle. Floral, yes, but grounded and spicy, with an edge that makes it feel modern and bold rather than traditionally “pretty.” The blend is stunning and beautifully balanced. The sandalwood and black pepper open with a spicy, confident burst, while the amber and exotic woods add warmth and depth. As it settles, the moss and cardamom emerge beautifully, giving the scent an earthy, sensual, and addictive feel. It’s unusual without being polarizing—distinctive yet still very wearable. The travel spray format is a huge win. It’s the perfect size to toss into a purse or carry-on, and the packaging feels high quality. No leaks, no cheap components—the spray pump is smooth and delivers the right amount of fragrance with each spritz. Beyond the scent itself, I really love the brand. Dedcool feels genuinely cool and intentional. Their ethos checks all the boxes for me: recyclable glass packaging, vegan, cruelty-free, carbon-neutral, non-toxic, gender-neutral, and 1% for the Planet. It’s rare to find a fragrance brand that feels this thoughtful without sacrificing luxury or performance. They also have a robust fragrance lineup—there truly is something for everyone. I wasn’t sure which scent would suit me best, so I took their online scent quiz. Madonna Lilly was recommended. Spot on. It feels personal, empowering, and very “me.” Pricing is also refreshingly approachable for such elevated, complex fragrances. Add in a fun, easy shopping experience, super-fast shipping, and careful packaging, and it’s clear this is a brand that values its community and customers. If you’re looking for a scent that feels confident, modern, and a little bit fearless—this is it. Bonus points for their creative collaborations (including with OUAI), which reinforce how innovative and culture-forward Dedcool really is!

  • I love this stuff. I think it smells really great and it works really well at cleaning my clothes, but I don’t think the sun is very strong. I think the packaging is really cute too, but the scent doesn’t linger on my clothes as strongly as I would like.

  • I’ve been layering with the Milk fragrance for over a year now and it’s a great ambery undertone to give warmth to my fragrances. 6 months ago I purchased the Mochi Milk scent in a travel size for testing and really love the gourmand addition to the Milk scent. I’m adding it to my rotation this winter as a warm vanilla top scent to wear on cozier days!

  • I really wanted to love these products, but just can't justify the price. I ordered the detergent and hand soap, and while they do smell nice, they don't smell AMAZING, and the scent doesn't last very long. I washed a cycle of delicate items with the detergent, and by the time they were dried, you could barely smell it. I'm not sure I am convinced by the cleaning power either, as a few of them still had stains that would typically be easily washed off with my regular detergent. I might but the hand soap again, but I don't think I would get the detergent again. I got the Xtra Milk scent. I did also get a sample of the perfume Spring, which I really liked.

  • I like the simplicity packaging and clean looking bottles. I used to wear Pink Sugar in high school and Mochi Milk reminds me of a grown up version of that scent. Sweet and vanilla forward but a little more airy. It still has that your-skin-but-better scent that DedCool is known for.

  • I love this product line! I've never repurchased a perfume before but I have with this brand. I've also layered in detergent and air fresheners! Everything smell so clean and nice but also somehow subtle? Will continue to repurchase!

  • Dedcool makes quality fragrances. I ordered the bundle that includes the detergent, dryer sheets, room spray, travel perfume, and full size perfume. The value for the quantity of products. I got it in the "Xtra milk" fragrance smell. This smell is a nice skin scent, very ambery and fresh from the bergamot. I dont think it's all that milky/lactonic despite the name. Smells is subtle, good for work settings since its not too strong.

  • Yes, please! My Mochi Milk Travel Spray just arrived and now I understand all the rage over this scent. I have to say that with a scent profile of "marshmallow + vanilla bean," my interest was peeked. It did not disappoint - the scent captures both in a perfect blend that isn't too overpowering. I will be purchasing more products from DedCool in this scent!!!

  • I love DedCool. The scents are so clean, elevated, and wearable, and they feel different from anything else I’ve tried. They’re not overpowering or overly sweet, just beautifully balanced and modern. I also love the concept of applying fragrance across different parts of your life (laundry, skin, home, etc.) because it makes scent feel more intentional and personal. Everything feels organic, thoughtful, and effortlessly cool. It’s one of the few fragrance brands that truly feels like a lifestyle, not just a perfume.

  • I had never heard of the brand and bought this perfume on a whim a few years ago - I will never use another perfume. This is my absolute FAVORITE scent it smells sooo good and is perfect for everyday wear and actually lasts. I also love the brands goal of infusing life with scent so I’ve tried some of the other products in this scent that are also great.

  • Beautiful scent. The first time I have been stopped and asked what I am wearing. It is subtle and unique. Not overpowering at all and perfect for everyday wear. I usually layer it with Taunt if I am feeling fancy.

  • I was introduced to DedCool by Ouai's collab with them. Their laundry detergent is my new favorite!! The scent is so good but not too overwhelming. The packaging is adorable too. I've heard great things about their perfume & look forward to buying!

  • I really love this brand‘s packaging and scents. The layering musk is a really nice rich fragrance that I feel like adds another layer of depth and sophistication to all of my existing perfumes and is also super easy to travel with.

  • I bought my husband one of the discovery sets for Valentine's Day and he loved Xtra Milk. He's already gone through the whole bottle and he gets LOADS of compliments from men and women. One man told him he smelled 'delicious'. We're already buying our second bottle and have the hand soap and body wash in this scent! We're big fans.

  • I am obsessed with DedCool. As a millennial myself I can really relate to the brand and its aesthetic. One of my favorite things about DedCool is that they are the only Functional Fragrance brand that helps you discover fragrances in a new way by being who you are. They really help their customers experience a new way to play, shape and customize fragrance through individual discovery. It’s so unique and freeing to be able to mix or layer different fragrances to make it my very own. It’s allowed me to be more creative in figuring out what I like to smell like and how I can easily customize that scent myself. I love the Xtra Milk Fragrance. It’s such a unique scent of Bergamot, White Musk and Amber. I don’t have any other perfumes that are similar or even close. I like that it is a genderless, clean fragrance but still feels feminine and like me. Every day I’ve worn Xtra Milk I’ve had people come up and smell me asking me what smelled so good. I’ve found that it lasts all day and I can sneak a sniff of myself even at the end of the night and still smell it on my skin.

  • Smells DELICIOUS - I always get compliments/questions about my perfume when I wear my milk fragrance by Dedcool. Such a unique unisex scent - love it sooo much! Also, their laundry detergent collab with the Ouai is sooo divine - if you want your clothes and home to smell out of this world good, definitely worth the splurge!
