Summary
The Nue Co. First Milk Nostalgia is our first scent memory - the soft embrace of early connection. Delicate and comforting, First Milk blends Almond Milk, Tonka Bean, and Iris with a whisper of Pink Pepper. It dries down to a cocoon of Amber and Cypriol.
Features
- Nostalgia is more than a feeling. It’s a physiological response that calms the nervous system and grounds the mind. When you smell something familiar, the olfactory system sends a direct signal to the limbic brain, the center of memory and emotion.
- It’s why scent can unlock vivid memories in an instant, often tied to moments of safety and warmth.
- Research from Brown University found that the scents we experience as newborns hold the strongest power of emotional recall. These early scent memories are imprinted in the brain, forming a blueprint for comfort that lasts a lifetime.
- We are naturally drawn to gourmand notes like vanilla and tonka bean because they share compounds found in milk and childhood sweets. They remind the body of when things were simple, good, and safe.
- In one study, patients exposed to gourmand scents during MRI scans reported 63% less anxiety compared to those exposed to neutral scents (PubMed, 1994).
- Another study showed these same notes can activate the brain’s reward centre, triggering the release of dopamine, the neurotransmitter linked to pleasure and calm (PMC5742189).
- This is the science behind The Nostalgia Collection. Each scent is designed to work with the body’s chemistry to reawaken comfort, release tension, and restore emotional balance: a way back to yourself, through scent.
- First Milk blends cocooning Almond Milk, Tonka Bean, Iris and Pink Pepper, melting into the skin for a subtle, skin-close warmth.

The Nue Co. First Milk Fragrance-Highly Recco
If you're after a scent that feels personal rather than overpowering, First Milk is something truly special. It doesn't announce itself across the room — it whispers. Designed to feel like a second skin, this fragrance blends creamy, comforting notes in a way that evokes warmth and quiet intimacy more than dramatic flair. From the first spritz, there's a soft milky quality — almond milk and a touch of pink pepper — that feels familiar and calming, like warm skin or the scent of vanilla at home. As it settles, delicate iris and tonka bean weave through gentle amber and musk base notes, giving it a cozy, slightly gourmand dry-down that's comforting without ever drifting into synthetic sweetness. What sets First Milk apart from many traditional perfumes is its mood-forward design. As part of The Nue Co.'s Nostalgia Collection, it's crafted with neuroscent principles supposed to tap into the brain's emotional memory — so instead of being just a fragrance, it's positioned as something that can ground and soothe your mood. In everyday wear, this makes it a subtle go-to for close moments — think coffee dates, quiet evenings, or layering under richer scents for depth. Its projection stays fairly close to the skin, so it's more personal and intimate than loud or complex.
The best 'alternative' vanilla
I am a big vanilla fan, but getting a bit tired of everyone launching the same type of vanilla scent- I was looking for something a bit different. The scent opens clean and uplifting (pepper) but quickly settles into a delicious, sweet, tonka bean, almond milk musky scent on the skin. I love it on its own or layered with other fragrances. Also love Us from this brand!
UTTERLY PERFECT COMFORTING SCENT!
I am in love with this perfume! Wow! It smells amazing, not sickly gourmand like most on the market and it's long lasting. The packaging is beautiful and I am totally hooked!
So excited my everyday fragrance is now sold at Ulta
I bought this fragrance about 6 months ago and absolutely fell in love and wear it everyday. It is initially peppery with a milkyness but fades into a creamy sandalwood vanilla. The lasting power is about 7-9 hours with no reapplication. If your someone that likes a gourmand but not in a sugary dessert way more in a comforting way you will love!
Not what I expected
Really thoughr these would smell different. I got this and the purple bottle because it said it layered well and somehow both smell pretty similar and nothing like the notes listed. No gourmand or woods or lactonic notes, i just smell maybe some of the pink pepper and iris and definitely a lot of alcohol. Huge disappointment and not worth the price.
